Connect the Printer to an Ethernet Network
When the printer is connected to your network, you can send commands
directly to the printer through a terminal connection (Telnet) or send
instructions through FTP. When you turn on the printer, it automatically
retrieves an IP address from the network (DHCP).
•
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the
printer and connect the other end of the cable to your network:
•
If your network uses a DHCP server to assign IP addresses, the
IP address appears in the lower left corner of the screen.
•
If your network does not use a DHCP server to assign IP
addresses, you need to set a static IP address and other network
information manually. From the Main Menu, select
Settings
>
Communications
>
Ethernet
>
IPv4
or
IPv6
and configure the
necessary settings.
