Installing the printer on an Ethernet
network (selected models only)
Information you will need to set up the printer on
an Ethernet network
• A valid, unique IP address for the printer to use on the network
• The gateway for the network
• The network mask of the network where the printer will be used
• A nickname for the printer (optional)
Notes:
• If your network automatically assigns IP addresses to computers and printers, you will not need to
organize your network information before you begin.
• A printer nickname can make it easier for you to identify your printer on the network. You can choose
to use the default printer nickname, or assign a name that is easier for you to remember.
You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network and an available port where the
printer can physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential
problems caused by a damaged cable.

network
Before you install the printer on a wired network, make sure that:
• You have completed the initial setup of the printer.
• Your router is on, and your network is set up and working properly.
• Your computer is connected to your router.
