Verify the IP settings

1Press and release the Continue button on the operator panel to print another network setup page.

2Look under the “TCP/IP” heading on the network setup page to make sure the IP address, netmask, and gateway are what you expected.

3Ping the printer and verify that it responds. For example, at a command prompt on a network computer, type ping followed by the new printer IP address (for example,

192.168.0.11):

ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

If the printer is active on the network, you will receive a reply.
