Note: 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.
Note: Servers (DHCP, etc.) existing on a network depend on the network environment. For
detailed information, check with your enterprise network administrator, internet service
provider, or router manufacturer.
