Use dynamic RARP server and telnet

RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) is another internet protocol that lets you set your printer’s IP address.

To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using a RARP server and telnet:

1Determine the hardware address of the printer. Refer to the item labeled UAA on the network setup page. Use the number in the right column.

2Make sure RARP is enabled. Check the network setup page.

3Set up the RARP server. Follow the instructions provided by your host operating system. Use the hardware address from step 1.

5From a command prompt, use the telnet command to access the printer.

6Follow the instructions that appear on the screen after entering the command to set the netmask and gateway.
