NetworkRouter Setup

● Routers are program driven devices and require periodic checking for software updates Before the start of the tax season, verify that your

router has the most current Firmware software release This is most easily accomplished using the router supplied

software to check for updates Optionally, use IE and go to the manufacturer’s web site and

search for the specific router model

Setup of a Network Printer

● Advantages No PC associated with Network Printer Replaces multiple printers with a single printer

Results in use of fewer Toner Cartridges

Most network printers have a sleep mode Conserves energy when not in use Automatically awakes when data is sent to printer

● Disadvantages Requires knowledge of a network setup Requires print server if printer is not equipped with a LAN port


TAX-AIDE


● Setup of a Network Printer● Four Steps

Router Configuration Determine Current Dynamic Printer IP Address Printer Static IP Address Configuration Install Printer on PC

Installing Printer Drivers on PC Configure Printer Port

TAX-AIDE

Router Configuration

● Establish a Router Login and Password

● Connect CAT 5+ cable between PC and Router

● User Internet Explorer (IE) to login to Router and set router IP address (192.168.1.1)

● Typical Router DHCP Range 192.168.1.100-199

● Adjust DHCP Range to 192.168.1.110 to 199 This results in a establishment of Static IP Range of 192.168.1.100 to

109

● Save results of Router setup


TAX-AIDE


Router Configuration

● Set Router IP Address

● Set Subnet Mask

● Enable DHCP Server

● Set Dynamic IP Address Range Static IP resultant range is set

to 192.168.1.100 to 109

● Save Changes to Router

TAX-AIDE

Attaching a Network Printer

● Attach Network Printer LAN port to Router Switch Port using a CAT5 cable

● Ensure Printer is powered on

● If your router supports DHCP table option Using IE, from the router, output the Router DHCP table and note

printer IP address Alternately, obtain same IP address from printer menus and

subsequent printer parameter printout


TAX-AIDE


Determine Current Dynamic Printer IP Address

TAX-AIDE


● Access Printer Dynamic IP Address using IE

● Login to printer over network

● See Users Manual if a password is required

● Select Networking tab

Printer IP Address Configuration

TAX-AIDE

Printer IP Address Configuration● Using IE, Access Printer using Dynamic IP address

● Configure printer to static IP address Set printer to Static IP address of 192.168.1.100

● Set IP Configuration Method to Manual Brother Printers use term: Static verses Manual

● Save configuration changes to printer


TAX-AIDE


Printer IP Address Configuration● Change IP Configuration Method to Manual

● Change IP Address to a Static IP Address

● If necessary, change Subnet Mask

TAX-AIDE

Install Printer on PC● Install Printer driver on PC

During Initial Setup, Configure Printer to use LPT1 port Recommend NOT to use Vendor Automatic Printer Network

configuration


TAX-AIDE

Install Printer on PC● Access printer properties using Windows Devices & Printers,

select the printer just added, select printer properties, Ports Tab

● Add a new TCP/IP port to printer and set newly added printer port to printer static IP address Or alternately, Select an Existing TCP/IP port

● Save printer port setup changes to PC

● Port added / selected will be checked

● Use General tab of printer properties for printer just added to print a test page


TAX-AIDE


● Select Printer added

● Select Printer Properties

TAX-AIDE


● Select Ports tab● Select Add Port

TAX-AIDE


● Select TCP/IP Port● Click New Port

TAX-AIDE


● Input Printer Static IP Address

● Click Next

TAX-AIDE


● Resulting Printer TCP/IP Port

TAX-AIDE


● Verify Printer just added is checked

● Click Apply

TAX-AIDE


● Click on General tab● Click on Print Test

Page● Verify Page is

printed

TAX-AIDE

Trouble Shooting Techniques

● Verify both Printer and Router are plugged in and turned on

● Verify PC is connected to Router and Router is connected to Printer

● Verify LAN physical connectivity between all three devices (e.g. LAN LEDs if available)

● Verify correct IP port is checked in Printer properties Port Tab How would verify that your PC can see the added printer?


TAX-AIDE


● Using Windows Command Prompt (DOS screen) Ping Router (e.g. ping 192.168.1.1) Ping Printer (e.g. ping 192.168.1.100)

● Some Anti-Virus software will block a port Enable port if blocked using Anti-Virus software

● Verify printer is able to print a test page

● If using wireless, ensure wireless connectivity is enabled and set to proper protocol, security, encryption, login (SSID), and wireless password


TAX-AIDE


● If TWxx (or most Windows applications) was left started and a new printer was added, you must restart TWxx in order to see the newly added printer Why? TWxx (and most Windows applications) read the current

Windows printer configuration when loading the TWxx (and other applications) program. This is only done during the initial loading of the application and the

application is NOT aware of any changes until the application is closed and restarted

TAX-AIDE

Sharing a printer using other versions of Windows (Windows XP, Vista, Win 7)

● Advantages Generally easier to understand initial printer setup

● Disadvantages Associated PC must be turned on Generally have to install multiple drivers on PC that shares

printer to rest of network especially for mixed networks and mixed 32 / 64 bit PC configurations

Generally more difficult to troubleshoot when you cannot get access to printer for another PC


TAX-AIDE


● When sharing a printer with multiple OS, be sure ALL OS Drivers are on the PC where the shared printer is connected

● Include both 32 bit (x86) and 64 bit (x64) printer drivers on the PC that has the shared printer


TAX-AIDE


● Install additional printer drivers on your computer so users can connect to your printer without being prompted to install the drivers missing from their individual PC

● The drivers are on either on The Support CD Can be downloaded from the Printer manufacture website


TAX-AIDE

● Enable File and Printer Sharing within Windows for each PC Control Panel->Network and Sharing Center->Advanced

Sharing settings-> Home or Work Turn on Network Discovery Turn on File and Printer Sharing Turn on Password Protected Sharing


TAX-AIDE

● Click Start, and then click Devices and Printers to open On share PC, add printer if

necessary

● Select the printer for which you want to install the additional drivers

● Click Properties


TAX-AIDE

● On the Sharing tab, click Additional Drivers


In the Additional Drivers dialog box, select the check boxes for the operating systems you need and then click OK

TAX-AIDE

● Adding the Shared Printer to another PC over the network If not enabled, enable File and Printer

Sharing within Windows for this PC All PCs must be connected to network

Click Start, and then click Devices and Printers to open

Click Add a Printer


TAX-AIDE


● Select Add a network printer

TAX-AIDE


● Based on which Windows OS that is installed, you will Be presented with a list of shared printers on

your network or Have to browse for the share PC and the

corresponding shared printer on the share PC Note: Use the network name of the share PC

● Select the PC and shared printer

TAX-AIDE


● PC & Shared Printer Selection Print drivers are installed from share PC

TAX-AIDE


● Print test page and Finish printer installation
