Installing the Printer
Driver
Network Connection
To connect the printer to a computer over a
network connection, you first need to set the
printer's IP address. Next, install the printer
driver on the computer.
If there is no DHCP server or BOOTP server
on the network, you need to manually set IP
addresses for the computer and printer.
Fixed IP address settings specified by enterprise
network administrators, providers, or router
manufacturers must also be set manually.

Setup Flow
Turn on the printer.
Set the printer's IP address.
Connect the cable.
Turn on the computer.
On the computer, set the IP address and configure
other settings.

A wrong IP address can cause a network to go down and
make it impossible to connect to the internet. Check with
your enterprise network administrator or internet service
provider for the IP address you need to set on the printer,
etc.

Servers (DHCP, etc.) existing on a network depend on the
