84 Printer Connection and Software Installation
Using the Installer on the Software Pack CD-ROM (Windows Only)
You can assign the IP address to the printer when setting up the printer with the installer on the
Software Pack CD-ROM.
When you use the Ethernet or the manual Wireless setup method, and Get IP Address is set to
DHCP/AutoIP on the operator panel menu, the installer detects the printer by the automatically
assigned IP address. You can set the IP address to the desired IP address by clicking the Advanced
button on the Configure Printer screen while in the setup process.
