2.4.2.3 IP Address
The printer’s IP address can be automatically set through the DHCP function and can also be
set manually.
| Automatic Setting
The DHCP automatic setting function is enabled by default.
1. Connect the printer to the network via a network cable and complete the driver installation;
2. The printer will automatically obtain the IP address assigned by the DHCP server which can be
used after a few seconds.
Note: • If DHCP cannot automatically obtain an IP address, the printer will automatically use the
default IP address: 169.254.1.1.
• Due to the characteristics of DHCP, if the printer is not used for a long time or if the
network access point is changed, the IP address assigned to the printer automatically
by the network may change, resulting in the printer cannot be connected; therefore, it is
recommended to enable the DHCP function and bind the IP address assigned
automatically by the network with the MAC address of the printer.
