Apple 12/640PS manual Viewing or changing the printer’s IP address, Setting the subnet mask

Viewing or changing the printer’s IP address

You must initially set the the printer’s IP address using one of the methods described earlier in this chapter. Subsequently, you can use the TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility to change the address or to store it permanently in the printer’s nonvolatile memory.

	1	From the main menu of the TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility menu, press 4 and Enter.
		A pair of numbered choices is displayed. The first choice—“Use Network
		Protocol”—indicates that you want no IP address stored in the printer; the
		second choice indicates that you want to store an address in the printer’s
		nonvolatile memory.
.		To change the address, press 2 and then Enter.
	2
		Type the IP address in the following format, then press Enter:
	3
		XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between 0 and 255.
		To indicate that you don’t want the printer to have an IP address, type
		0.0.0.0 and press Enter. (This is identical to choosing “Use Network
		Protocol” in step 1.)
		WARNING If your TCP/IP network contains devices with duplicate IP
		addresses, you may experience unpredictable network behavior, or your
		network may cease to function. Make sure you obtain a valid and
		unique IP address for the printer.
		Setting the subnet mask
		If your network includes subnets, you can set the subnet mask.
		WARNING Use this option with care. If you enter an invalid subnet mask,
		you may not be able to access the printer.
		From the main menu of the TCP/IP Printer Configuration Utility menu, press 5 and Enter.
