Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address
There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:
■ DHCP (enabled by default)
■ AutoIP
You can turn on/off both protocols using the printer console, or use CentreWare IS to turn on/off DHCP.
Note: You can print a report that includes the printer’s IP address. On the printer console, press the
System button, select Report/List, press the OK button, select System Settings, and then press the
OK
button. The IP address is listed on the System Settings page.
