Vivi,
the best way is to let the printer tell you what it thinks its settings
are. You can get that information from the printer Test page. To get that
out of the 4MV, you can:
- press the Online button until the online light is off.
- press Menu until you see Test menu.
- press Item until Self Test
- press Enter.
The middle third of the page will have a section about the MIO settings.
That's the network card of the printer. You'll see a section for TCPIP,
which should list its address. And you'll see a section for Appletalk or
Ethertalk that will tell you the printer's name and, I believe, the zone
it's in.
If you need help interpreting the test page, give a call.
