Configuration Using IP Discovery

DHCP, BootP, and RARP are services that provide a method for assigning and maintaining IP
Addresses. With IP Discovery enabled, the Print Server obtains IP information from this

service. IP Discovery must first be enabled for use. Assign IP Discovery by following the
steps below:



When IP DISCOVERY is ENABLED you will not be able to change the IP ADDRESS,
SUBNET MASK, or GATEWAY.

A. Without connecting the Ethernet cable, turn ON the printer. Press the MENU Button.

B. Scroll to COMMUNICATIONS > NIC ADAPTER > IP DISCOVERY. Select ENABLED and

press ENTER.

C. Press EXIT and save your changes when prompted.

D. Turn OFF the printer. Connect the Ethernet cable and turn ON the printer.

E. After the connection is established, obtain the Assigned IP Address (see below) by

printing a Configuration Label; see Section 4.3.5.

Assigned IP Address



Depending upon your server, it may take a minute or two for the Assigned IP

Address to appear on the label.

F. After the Assigned IP Address has been obtained, install the port and printer driver

using the Windows

“Add a Printer Wizard” and Driver and Port Setup (see Appendix

H).
