OptraImage Setup Guide
Step 7: Assign a network address
Print a network
setup page
In order for other network devices to find the OptraImage, you
must assign an IP address, netmask, and gateway to the
MarkNet print server.
You cannot manually configure network
scanning using the OptraImage control
panel. You must browse to the IP
address of the MarkNet print server and
use the MarkNet resident web pages.
If your network is using DHCP, the proper address values
are automatically assigned. Use the printer operator panel to
print a network setup page. Press Network Menu, Network
Option x, Network x Setup, Print, and then Print Setup Page.
Look for the TCP/IP information on your network setup page.
Once you find the address, go on to the next step.
Some networks take several minutes to
communicate with other devices on the
network. If the network setup page
doesn’t contain the information you think
it should, such as an automatically
assigned IP address, and thenwaita few
minutes and try printing the page again.
If you don’t have DHCP, you must manually assign an IP
address. Manually setting an IP address is a task generally
performed by a network administrator and can affect other
network settings. Do not attempt to manually assign an
address unless you are sure it is appropriate to do so.
Manually assign IP
address information
Method 1: Printer operator panel
A simple way to set address information inside the MarkNet
print server is to use the printer operator panel. You need to
be standing at the printer to use this method.
“X” designates which option card slot in
the printer is being used. For example, if
you install the MarkNet print server in
option slot 2, the printer operator panel
displays: Network Option 2.
1 On the printer operator panel, select Network Menu,
Network Option X, Network X Setup, TCP/IP, and then Set
IP Address. Press Menu> repeatedly until you see the
menu item, and then press Select.
2 When the current IP address is displayed (default is
zeros), use the buttons to change the address. Pressing
Select advances to the next segment in the address.
Pressing Menu> increases the number by one. Pressing
<Menu decreases the number by one.
For instructions about other ways to set
the IP address such as static ARP and
telnet, RARP and telnet, BOOTP, and
MarkVision, look on the Drivers,
MarkVision and Utilities CD. Click View
Documentation and look for the MarkNet
link.
3 When you finish setting the IP address, press Select
repeatedly until the word SAVED appears briefly
4 Print a new network setup page to verify the information
was entered as you intended.
