requirements specified on page 19.
1. Power off the copier and the PC.
2. Connect a short IEEE 1284 cable to the LPT1 port on the PC and to the parallel port
connector on the AR-P15.
If the parallel port on the PC has a DB25 connector, use an IEEE 1284A-B cable.
If there is more than one parallel port connector on the back of the PC, ask the network
administrator to indicate the preferred parallel port to use for connecting to the copier.
3. Power on the PC and the copier.
4. Configure AR-P15 settings.
It is the network administrator's responsibility to configure settings according to the
network and user environment. Default settings may be adequate, but they may not be
optimal for the user's environment.
Automatic IP addressing is a default network setting. If the IP address is not set, it will be
listed in the Setting List as 0.0.0.0, and the network administrator may need to configure
the IP address of the AR-P15 manually through the Control Panel LCD. After the
network address of the AR-P15 is configured (either automatically or manually), the
AR-P15 can be set up using TopAccess on a remote computer. For more information on
setting up the AR-P15, see the Administrator's Guide.
After entering the IP address manually, make sure to reset the AR-P15 (using

either the LCD or TopAccess). To reset the AR-P15 using the Control Panel LCD, touch
the UTILITY tab>Functions icon>Reset icon. See page 14 for the location of the
UTILITY tab.
5. After configuring AR-P15 settings, verify the parallel port connection.
The network administrator should perform and verify any additional network settings,
and print a few test documents from a computer connected over the parallel port. For
more information on setting up the AR-P15, see the Administrator's Guide.
