Setting the Printer’s IP Address

Setting the Printer’s IP Address

Automatic IP Addressing

The Xerox Installer for Windows sets the printer’s IP address under the following conditions:

■The printer has a network connection.

■TCP/IP is installed on the computer.

■The IP address has not already been assigned (for example, from the front panel or by DHCP).

During the installation process, you can accept the automatically assigned address or assign a different one. For small networks, the automatically assigned address will work in most cases. For large networks, see your network administrator to determine if the suggested address will work.

The Xerox installer for Windows is the recommended method for setting the IP address in a Windows environments; for other environments, see Other Methods for Setting the Printer’s IP Address.

Note

With a Windows 95 or Windows 98 peer-to-peer connection, if you change the printer’s IP address after the first-time installation, you must change the port’s address on the PC through PhaserPort for Windows (see page 8).
