Assigning the Printer’s Network Address

The printer is set by default to be automatically recognized by the network, acquiring an IP

address using DHCP. Network addresses assigned by DHCP are temporary. After a specified

time, the network may assign a new IP address to the printer.

If your network administrator requires a static IP addresses for the printer, or you do not

want the IP address of the printer to change, you must assign a network address to the

printer manually.

Allowing the IP Address to be Assigned Automatically

If your printer is connected to a network that has a DHCP server, an IP address will be

assigned when you turn the printer on.

If you are connected to a network that does not have a DHCP server, and you want the IP

address assigned automatically, do the following:

1. On the control panel, use the up or down arrow to select Network Settings from the

Initial Setup menu.

2. Select AutoIP from the list, and press the OK button.

3. Use the down arrow to select Exit Menu, then select Yes to exit the menu.

An IP address will be assigned when you turn the printer on.

Note: To return to the Initial Setup menu, press the System button, then Admin Menu >

System Setup > Power On Wizard.

Specifying a Static IP Address

To assign a static IP address to the printer:

1. On the control panel, use the up or down arrow to select Network Settings from the

Initial Setup menu.

2. Select Panel from the list, and press the OK button.
