Setting an IP Address on the Printer’s Control Panel
After connecting the printer to the network, you need to set the IP address for the network
interface.
To set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway from the control panel, follow the
steps below.
Note:
If you are using a printer model that does not have an LCD panel, you cannot use the steps below.
1. Turn on your printer.
2. Press the Enter button on the printer’s control panel once to enter the SelecType mode.
The LCD panel displays Information Menu.
3. Press the Up or Down button until Network Menu appears. Then press the Enter
button.
4. Check that Network I/F = On appears.
If Network I/F = Off appears instead, press the Enter button and then the Up or
Down button to change to Network I/F = On. Then press the Enter button, turn off the
printer for more than five seconds, and turn it back on.
5. Press the Up or Down button until Get IP Address = Auto appears. Press the Enter
button and then the Up or Down button to change to Get IP Address = Panel. Then
press the Enter button. You can use the following methods to get an IP address.
❏ Choose Panel when setting the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
using the printer’s control panel.
❏ Choose Auto when getting the IP address from a DHCP server. The IP address is
automatically obtained from the DHCP server whenever the printer is reset or turned
on.
❏ Choose PING when setting the IP address using the arp/ping command. The
network interface uses the IP address set by the arp/ping command. The settings
become available when the printer is reset or turned off and then back on.
