You can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage the
printer via the following programs that came with your printer:
•
CentreWare IS
: A web server embedded in your network printer,
which allows you to remotely configure the printer settings and
network parameters necessary for the printer to be connected to
various network environments.

SetIP
: A utility program allowing you to select your network printer
and manually configure the printer's TCP/IP addresses.

printer’s
control panel
:
• Configure TCP/IP
