IP Address Assignment
• Manual—this allows you to assign a static IP address for the printer. Your
network administrator supplies this IP address.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)—the printer requests an IP
address from the host device during the printer power-up sequence.
If you select the ‘DHCP’ option, the Renew IP Address option becomes available.
Renew IP Address
This option causes the printer to select a new IP address from the server during the
power-up sequence.
NOTE: The ‘DHCP’ option for IP Address Assignment and the Renew IP Address
options are not in use on the 5900 and 7900 printers.
Host Name
You can assign an optional name to the printer. Enter the name in the field.
IP Address
This option is shown if the IP Address Assignment option is set to ‘Manual’. Your
network administrator assigns the IP address.
