5.2.6 MAC Address Setting
† Overview
This printer have a network function and stores there MAC address (Media Access
Control Address) in the EEPROM on the Network Board. The Network Board supplied
as an ASP does not come with the MAC address written on it, therefore, you are
required to set the MAC address to the new Network Board after replacement. The
following explains the procedure.
† Preparation
When replacing the Network Board, make sure to note down the MAC address written
on a label on the Upper M/B Shield Plate. If the address is not readable due to
contamination or any other cause, attach a new MAC address label (part code:
1489231) and note down the new address. See
“ 4.2.3.2 Main Board / Grounding Plate
M/B (p117) ” for description about the label position.

and the last six digits of the MAC address. Therefore, the
