Configuring Printer and Installing Software on Windows
Identifying Print Driver Pre-install Status (for Network Connection
Setup)
Before installing the print driver on your computer, check the IP address of your printer and change the firewall
settings.
Checking the IP Address for Your Printer
1 Print the System Settings page.

• "Printing a System Settings Page" on page 122
2 Confirm the IP address next to IP Address under Wired Network or Wireless Network on the System
Settings page.
If the IP address is 0.0.0.0, wait for a few minutes to resolve the IP address automatically, and then print the
System Settings page again.
If the IP address is not resolved automatically, see "Assigning an IP Address Manually" on page 57.
