Configuring the Print Server
When you first install the print server, the server is automatically assigned an IP address. Every
time the software is launched, the IP address is displayed next to the server name in the Control
Center window.
By default, the server is configured to automatically get an IP address. If you are using the print
server on a small office or home network, we recommend that you configure the server to use a
static IP address. This will ensure that the computers connected to your network will always be able
to locate the print server.
By default, the static IP address for the print server is
192.168.1.100
. You only need to change the
last three numbers. When assigning a static IP address, check your router to be sure that the IP
address you choose is not already in use. Refer to your router documentation for information on
how to do this. A good practice when adding a print server or other shared network device to a
network is to start with a number toward the top of the range, for example
192.168.1.250
, and work
down from there.
Note
If you do not set a static IP address, write down the IP address that appears next to the server
name in the Control Center window. You will need this IP address to add the printer to your computer.
