administrator

before

MAC ADDRESS

nn.nn.nn.nn.nn.nn

Specifies

the

MAC

(medium

access

control)

number

of

the

 

 

 

printer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

 

Normally,

the

MAC

ADDRESS

should

be

set

to the

 

 

 

 

unique

MAC

ADDRESS

on

the

network

interface

card.

 

 

 

 

 

You

 

can,

however,

also

use the MAC ADDRESS field to

 

 

 

 

define

locally

administered addresses (LAA). Resetting

 

 

 

the

 

printer

to

factory

defaults

sets

the

LAA

back

to the

 

 

 

MAC

address. Each

LAA

must

be

unique,

so

make

sure

 

 

 

 

to

consult

with

your network or LAN administrator before

 

 

 

changing this

value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See

 

“Setting

the Locally

Administered MAC

Address

 

 

 

 

 

(LAA)”

on

page 181

for

more

information.
