The settings for other items can bechanged in a similar manner.Press the or key to display the desired setting.The setting changes as shown below.The baud rate can be selected from 1200, 2400, 4800,9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.Some computers may not be compatible with a baud rate of115200 bps. If you set the baud rate to 115200 and communi-cation problems occur, lower the baud rate.Display the desired baud rate and press the ENTERkey.Press the MENU key. The message display returns toReady.Changing Option Network Interface ParametersTo make your printer support TCP/IP, Netware, and Ether-Talk networks, you will need to install the option network in-terface card in the option interface slot the printer and makethe proper settings as explained in this section.Using the operator panel, you can:• Activate or deactivate TCP/IP, NetWare, and EtherTalk• Activate or deactivate DHCP• Enter IP address, subnet mask address, and defaultgateway addressTo confirm or change network card parameters, proceed asfollows:Press the MENU key.Press the or key repeatedly until Interface> appears.
