Configure for TCP/IP
Step 9: Configure for TCP/IP9: Configure for TCP/IP
If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend that
you assign an IP address to the printer.
Assigning a
printer IP address
If your network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically
assigned after you connect the network cable to the printer.
1 Look for the address under the “TCP/IP” heading on the
network setup page you printed in “Printing setup pages” on
page 24.
2 Go to “Verifying the IP settings” and begin with step 2.
If your network is not using DHCP, then you must manually assign an
IP address to the printer.
An easy way to do this is to use the Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility.
Detailed instructions about installing and using this utility are located
on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer. Launch the CD, click
View Documentation and then Network Printer Install. Look for
information about using the Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility.
To use this utility, you will need to know the printer’s 12-digit physical
address or Universally Administered Address (UAA). Look for the
UAA entry on the network setup page you printed earlier. You can use
either the MSB or canonical form of the UAA.
Verifying the
IP settings
1 Print another network setup page. Look under the “TCP/IP”
heading and make sure the IP address, netmask, and gateway
are what you expected.
See “Printing setup pages” on page 24.
