Unbox, power on, and network the device.
Access the web GUI, fill out device information (name, location, SNMP).
Set static IP and other network settings (DNS, gateway etc.). Use an IP within the range for printers (check DNS server or do a network scan). Use Colosoft to scan the network for acceptable IP range. Confirm selection of IP address with nslookup. Leave Netmask and gateway unchanged.
Give the device a hostname, using the convention (check DNS server for current printer names).
Register the hostname in DNS (domain controllers, or MMC).

Printers that will be used primarily for IBM i printing (i.e. invoice printers) need to be defined on lucy.unipharm.local, as that is where JetForm is installed). Define a printer share here. Follow the naming convention for the device/printer/share name because IBM i has a 10-character limit.

Follow IBM i instructions for setting up a printer as a device description (IPP/SNMP device i.e. 3812).
