of a paper size error or a paper type error. The job may have been sent with a prohibited combination of settings (for example, for the paper size and media type). Printing is not possible with postcards or overhead projector transparencies if Plain Paper is selected. Printing does not continue with a custom paper size. Printing with custom paper sizes is not possi- ble directly from the printer driver. This can only be performed from the command line. Specify the following command to print data. lpr -P [printer_name] -o media=Custom. [WIDTHxLENGTH] [file_name] 1. Format of Custom. [WIDTHxLENGTH]: Custom.150x200 mm, Custom.8x11 in, Custom.15x20 cm, or Custom.612x782 (postscript points) 2. The specified file must be a PS, PDF or JPEG file. Printing cannot be com- pleted correctly from OpenOffice or any other Office application (such as, Kword). Applications running under Linux have their own print settings. Some of these functions may not be supported by this printer. Observe the following for best printing results. � Settings made within the application: Paper size and orientation � Settings made with the printer driver (kprinter): Settings other than those speci- fied above (for example, paper type, tray, and resolution) When printing from Acrobat Reader, part of the image is printed in solid black or the job is interrupted. There is a compatibility problem between Ghostscript and Acrobat Reader. Try using a different PDF application. Watermarks cannot be printed from Kword. This is a bug with Kword. Use Overlay instead.

TCP/IP network environment, you must make sure that the internal network addresses in the printer have been set. �� In many cases, you have to enter only a unique IP address. However, you may also have to enter a subnet mask and/or a gateway (router) address, depending on your network configuration requirements. Supported Environments � Windows Server 2003/XP/2000/NT4.0/Me/98SE

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. Printers are shipped with a preset IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. � IP Address—A unique identifier for each device on a TCP/IP network. � Subnet Mask—A filter used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. � Gateway—A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. 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 can do this in one of two ways. Each is explained in detail in the following sec- tions. � Using DHCP � Setting the address manually Using DHCP If your network supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the printer’s IP address will be automatically assigned by the DHCP server when you turn on the printer. (Refer to “Network Printing” on page 87 for a descrip- tion of DHCP.) �� If your printer is not automatically assigned an IP address, verify that DHCP is enabled on the printer (SPECIAL PAGES/PRINT CON- FIG PAGE). If it is not enabled, you can enable it in the NETWORK DHCP/BOOTP menu. 1 Connect your printer to the network. When using an Ethernet cable, plug the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet interface port of the printer. 2 Turn on your PC and printer. 3 When the printer’s message window displays READY, install the printer driver and utilities.

You may also manually change the printer’s IP address, subnet mask, and gateway by using the following instructions. (See chapter 3, “Understanding the Network Configuration Menus,” for more information.) �� When manually setting the IP address, turn off DHCP and BOOTP first. In addition, when the IP address is changed, add a new port or reinstall the printer driver. CAUTION You should always notify your network’s administrator before changing the printer’s IP address. 1 Turn on your PC and printer. 2 When the printer’s message window displays READY, set the IP address.

� BOOTP � DHCP � HTTP � IPP � LPD/LPR � SLP � SNMP � TCP/IP 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. This enables the workstation to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive. DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address. 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 vari- ous 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.

printing situations over the Internet. It allows users to find out about a printer’s capabilities, submit print jobs to a printer, determine the status of the printer or print job, and cancel a previously submitted print job. For more information on using IPP, See “Printing via IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) – Windows Server 2003/XP/2000” on page 90. LPD/LPR LPD/LPR (Line Printer Daemon/Line Printer Request) is a platform- independent printing protocol that runs over TCP/IP. Originally implemented for BSD UNIX, its use has spread into the desktop world and is now an industry standard. SLP Traditionally, in order to locate services on the network, users had to supply the host name or network address of the machine providing the desired ser- vice. This has created many administrative problems. However, SLP (Service Location Protocol) simplifies the discovery and use of network resources such as printers by automating a number of network ser- vices. It provides a framework that allows networking applications to discover the existence, location, and configuration of networked services. With SLP users no longer need to know the names of network hosts. Instead, they need to know only the description of the service they are interested in. Based on this description, SLP is able to return the URL of the desired service. 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 reasons network routers filter almost all broadcast traffic. This means that broadcasts that are generated on one subnet will not be “routed” or forwarded to any of the other subnets connected to the router (from the router’s perspective, a subnet is all machines connected to one of its ports). Multicasts, on the other hand, are forwarded by routers. Multicast traffic from a given group is forwarded by routers to all subnets that have at least one machine that is interested in receiving the multicast for that group.

for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending messages to differ- ent parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters. TCP/IP Most networks combine TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with the lower-level protocol IP (Internet Protocol). TCP establishes a virtual connec- tion between two host systems and guarantees the delivery of data between them while IP specifies the format and addressing of this data sent between these two host systems.
