About TCP/IP and IP Addresses
Computers and printers use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over a network. Macintosh computers use
either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to communicate with a network printer. For Macintosh OS X
systems, TCP/IP is preferred.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. Many networks as well
as cable and DSL routers have a DHCP server A DHCP server assigns an IP address to every computer and
printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP, automatically.
If you are connected to the Internet using cable or DSL, check with your carrier for information on IP
addressing.
Assigning the IP Address of the Printer
By default, the printer receives an IP address from a DHCP server over a TCP/IP network. Network
addresses assigned by DHCP are temporary. Once the addresses expire, the network can assign a new
one.
To assign a static IP address for your printer, you can use the wireless connection method on the installer
disk.
Notes:
• You can view the IP address of your printer on the Configuration Page.
• To enable continued use of the printer even if the IP Address assigned by the DHCP server
changes, you can use the installer or CentreWare Internet Services.
