Setting the Printer’s IP Address
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a system in which UNIX and
Windows NT servers can dynamically allocate IP addresses. The printer is a DHCP client;
when the printer is reset, it receives an IP address from the DHCP server.
Enabling DHCP on the Printer
Make sure that the printer’s DHCP protocol is enabled. You can do this from the front
panel; see page 33.
