Setting the Locally Administered					MAC	Address	(LAA)
		Network		Administrator		Tip
	Each		network		card	comes with a unique, pre-assigned MAC address			printed on its
	faceplate and set at the factory. The following procedure								allows you to use loca
	administered addresses (LAA) instead of the factory value.								Resetting the printer
	factory			defaults		sets	the LAA back to the MAC address. IBM		recommends that you
	contact			your	network administrator			before you change the MAC	address because
	each		LAA	must	be	unique	on the	network.
