Connect the Printer to an Ethernet Network
Use the Ethernet port to set up your printer as a network printer. The printer is set
to automatically retrieve an IP address from the network (DHCP) when you turn the
printer. You can use the network connection with InterDriver. You can also use it to
send commands directly to the printer through a terminal connection (Telnet), or
through FTP/SFTP.
Note: To enable the FTP/SFTP from the webpage, go to Configure > System Settings >
Manage Service.
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port in the rear of the printer and
connect the other end of the cable to your network.
3. Turn the printer on.
4. If your printer uses a DHCP server to assign IP addresses, the IP address
appears in the lower left corner of the screen.
5. If you are not using a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses to
devices in your network, you must set a static IP address and other network
information manually. Continue with the next step.
6. For a non-DHCP network:
• From the Main Menu select Settings > Communications > Ethernet > IPv4
or IPv6 and change the settings as needed.
Connect the Printer via Wi-Fi
The printer supports wireless communications when the optional Wi-Fi module is
installed.
You can configure wireless communications:
• From the printer web page.
• From the printer Main Menu.
