Card Type

This field reports the type of network card installed in the printer.

Token Ring Address

This field specifies the printer's Token Ring address (by default, this is a bit-swapped version of the Printer's Printer ID, and it is a unique address on the network). You can supply a Locally Administered Address.

For Locally Administered Addresses, you can enter any valid Token Ring address between 4x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and 7x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Entering an empty string causes the printer to reset the address to the printer's default address.
