Using services

A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Océ  print server. The Océ  

print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Océ  print 

server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of 

supported commands. 

Where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_310107_P1).

Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and 

Administrators)

For information on how to configure your network printer using the BRAdmin Professional utility or a web 

browser, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 9.

Using DHCP to configure the IP address

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address 

allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address 

from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

Note

If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT 

METHOD to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying 

to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the BRAdmin 

Professional utility.
