By default, the printer is set to acquire an IP address from the network server using DHCP. Network
addresses assigned by DHCP are temporary, however. After a specified time, the network could assign a
new IP address to the printer. If the print driver is set to an IP address that changes periodically, you can
experience connectivity issues. To avoid problems, or if your network administrator requires a static IP
address for the printer, you can assign the IP address to the printer.
Note:
You can view the IP address of your printer from the the System Settings Page, the printer
control panel, or CentreWare Internet Services.
