							Print Area
A margin required by the printer is added with respect to the size of paper loaded in the printer. Except in borderless print-
ing, the actual printing area corresponds to the paper size minus the space for this margin. Note
• Printable Area: The area that can be printed.
• There is no margin (that is, a margin of 0 mm) during borderless printing on rolls.
• Recommended Print Area: We recommend printing within this area.
• To 
print  so  that  your  original  matches  the  print  area  exactly,  use  an  oversized  paper  size  that  includes  the
required margin.   (See "Printing on Oversized Paper .") →P.85

							•
Example of a Macintosh network
In Macintosh networks, print over AppleTalk (EtherTalk) or TCP/IP, using Bonjour (Zeroconf) functions.
Note
• The imagePROGRAF printer driver is not compatible with AppleTalk. •
Example of a NetWare network
Note
• Even if there is a NetWare server in your network environment, you can use it in conjunction with TCP/
IP or AppleTalk. In this case, complete the settings for each protocol you will use. Configuring the IP Address on the Printer
You must configure the printer's IP address before using the printer in a TCP/IP network.
The printer's IP address is configured automatically when you install the printer driver following the instructions in the Set-
up Guide.
Configure the IP address by using imagePROGRAF Device Setup Utility, the printer Control Panel, or ARP or PING com-
mands, if the IP address is changed, or if you change the printer connection mode to a network connection. For details on
configuring the IP address, refer to the following topics.
•Configuring the IP Address Using imagePROGRAF Device Setup Utility →P.404
 (Windows)
• Configuring the IP Address Using the Printer Control Panel →P.774

							Important
• If you  use  a  DHCP  server  for  automatic  assignment  of  the  printer's  IP  address,  printing  may  no  longer  be
possible  after  the  printer  is  turned  off  and  on.  This  is  because  an  IP  address  different  from  before  has  beenassigned.  Thus,  when  using  DHCP  server  functions,  consult  your  network  administrator  and  configure  the
settings in one of the following ways.
• Configure the setting for dynamic DNS updating
In  RemoteUI,  activate  the  setting  Enable  DNS  Dynamic  Update.   (See  " Configuring  the  Printer's  TCP/
IP Network Settings.") →P.777
• Configure the setting for assignment of the same IP address each time the printer starts up Note
• We 
recommend  configuring  the  printer's  IP  address  even  if  you  will  use  the  printer  in  networks  other  than
TCP/IP networks. Configuring the printer's IP address enables you to use RemoteUI to configure the network
settings and manage the printer with a web browser.
For details on RemoteUI,  see "Using RemoteUI." →P.776
Configuring the IP Address Using the Printer Control Panel
This topic describes how to configure the printer's IP address on the Control Panel.
1. Press the Menu button to display  MAIN MENU.2.
Press  ▲ or ▼ to select  Interface Setup, and then press the ▶ button.
3. Press  ▲ or ▼ to select  TCP/IP, and then press the  ▶ button.
4. Press  ▲ or ▼ to select  IP Setting, and then press the ▶ button.
5. Press  ▲ or ▼ to select  IP Address, and then press the  ▶ button.
6. After you press ◀ or ▶ to select the input field, numerical input is possible.
