Network Connection
Theory
To connect your printer in a 
TCP/IP network environment, 
you must make sure that the 
internal network addresses in 
the printer have been set.

Making the Connection
Ethernet Interface
An RJ45 connector can be used as the Ethernet interface for this printer.
When connecting your printer to an Ethernet network, the tasks you perform 
depend on how you plan to set the printer’s IP (Internet Protocol) address.
Since the IP address for each PC and printer on your network must be 
unique, you usually need to modify this preset address so it doesn’t conflict 
with any other IP address or your network or any attached network. You...

Network Connection 8
Setting the Address Manually
You may also manually change the printer’s IP address, subnet mask, and 
gateway by using the following instructions. (For more information, see 
Understanding the Ethernet Configuration Menus in the Phaser
 6120 
Reference Guide on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM.) 
When the IP address is changed, add a new port or reinstall the 
printer driver.
CAUTION
You should always notify the network administrator before changing the 
printer’s IP address....

Network Printing
The Phaser 6120 printer supports the following network protocols:
„BOOTP
„DHCP
„HTTP
„IPP
„LPD/LPR
„SLP
„SNMP
„Port 9100
„SMTP
This chapter defines each of these protocols and then explains how to print 
via IPP.
BOOTP
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is an Internet protocol that enables a diskless 
workstation to discover (1) its own IP address, (2) the IP address of a BOOTP 
server on the network, and (3) a file that can be loaded into memory to boot 
the workstation....

HTTP
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol used by the 
World Wide Web. It defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, 
and what actions web servers and browsers should take in response to 
various commands. For example, when you enter a URL in your browser, this 
actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and 
transmit the requested web page. 
IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for end users’ most common...

Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast
SLP is a unicast and a multicast protocol. This means that messages can be 
sent to one agent at a time (unicast) or to all agents (that are listening) at the 
same time (multicast). However, a multicast is not a broadcast. In theory, 
broadcast messages are heard by every node on the network. Multicast 
differs from broadcast because multicast messages are only heard by the 
nodes on the network that have joined the multicast group. 
For obvious...
