Network Printing
Network Connection
Theory
To connect your printer in a TCP/IP network environment, you must make sure that the internal
network addresses in the printer have been set.
Note:
In many cases, you have to enter only a unique IP address. However, you may also have to enter a subnet
mask and/or a gateway (router) address, depending on your network configuration requirements.
Making the Connection
Ethernet Interface
An RJ45 connector can be used as the Ethernet interface for this printer.
When connecting your printer to an Ethernet network, the tasks you perform depend on how you plan
to set the printer’s IP (Internet Protocol) address. Printers are shipped with a preset IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway.
