whether the printer and computer can communicate using the static IP address, and to test that

a central location before installing them at individual sites.
The following procedure demonstrates testing a static IPv4 address.
1.
Connect the printer directly to a computer using an Ethernet cable.
2.
Open the Windows Network and Sharing Center and select Local Area Connection.
