Steps

Configure basic printer settings

  • 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).

Set device up as a shared printer

  • For printers that will be.
