Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use
the installer on the
Software and Documentation CD-ROM
to detect or assign an IP address to
your printer. For further instructions, insert the
Software and Documentation CD-ROM
into
your computer’s CD-ROM drive. After the Installer launches, follow the prompts for
installation.
Note:
For the automatic Installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established
TCP/IP network.
