Changing port settings after installing a newnetwork Internal Solutions Port
When a new network Internal Solutio ns Port (ISP) is in stalled in the p rinter, the printer is assigned a ne w IP address.
The printer configurations on computers that access the printer must be updated with this new IP address in order
to print to it over the ne twork.
Notes:
•If the printer ha s a static IP addres s that will stay the same, then you do not need to m ake any changes t o the
computer conf igurations.
•If the computers are configured to print t o the printer by a network name that will stay the same, instead of by
IP address, then you do not need to make any ch anges to the computer configuration s.
•If you are adding a wireless ISP to a printer previously configured for a wired connection, t hen make sure the
wired network is disconnected when you configure the printer to operate wirelessly. If the w ired connection
remains connected, then the wireless configuration will complete, but the wireless ISP will not be active. In the
event that the printer was configured for a w ireless ISP while still attached to a wired co nnection, disconnect
the wired connection, turn the printer off, and then t urn the printer back on again. This will enable the wire less
ISP.
•Only one network connection at a time is active. If you want to switch the connection type between wired and
wireless, you must first turn the printer off, connect the cable (to switch to a wired connection) or disconnect
the cable (to switch to a wireless connection), and then turn the printer back on again.
