8 Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters

Obtain the information listed in the following table. It might be helpful to write down this information so you can refer to it during the conﬁguration procedure.

Information for TCP/IP conﬁguration

Information	Comments

Internet (IP) address for	Format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number
the printer	from 0 - 255.

Network mask	If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer will choose
	an appropriate mask.

Broadcast address	If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer computes
	an appropriate broadcast address.
	The address the printer uses to send broadcast packets.
	Regardless of how this parameter is set, the printer
	accepts broadcast packets from any of the commonly
	used broadcast address conventions.

Gateway IP address	Router address. You need this address if you want to
	communicate with the printer from anywhere other than
	the local network segment.
