Setting IP Address
When the printer is connected to the network, it
retrieves the IP address automatically from the
DHCP server once it is switched on.
If the DHCP server is not available or not in use,
use one of the following methods to retrieve and
set the IP address.
• Set the IP address from the control panel
• Use the IP Address Setting Tool in the
CentreWare CD-ROM bundled with this printer.
Important
• When using the DHCP server, the IP address may be
changed so you need to check the IP address on a
regular basis.
• When using the DHCP server in the WINS (Windows
Internet Name Service) environment, the network
expansion card is required.
• The address information can also be retrieved
automatically via the BOOTP or RARP servers. For
such cases, change the [Get IP Address] selection on
the control panel to [BOOTP] or [RARP].
• The IP address is controlled by the whole network
system. Setting an incorrect IP address may have an
adverse affect on the whole network system. Please
check with your network administrator if you have any
questions concerning your network environment.
