How to configure for TCP/IP

If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend that you assign an IP address to the printer.

Assigning a printer IP address

If your network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned after you connect the network cable to the printer.

1Look for the address under the “TCP/IP” heading on the network setup page you printed in “How to print the menu settings and network setup pages” on page 94.

2Go to “Verifying the IP settings” on page 95 and begin with step 2.

If your network is not using DHCP, then you must manually assign an IP address to the printer.

An easy way to do this is to use the Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility.

Detailed instructions about installing and using this utility are located on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer. Launch the CD, click View Documentation and then Network Printer Install. Look for information about using the Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility.

To use this utility, you will need to know the printer’s 12-digit physical address or Universally Administered Address (UAA). Look for the UAA entry on the network setup page you printed earlier. You can use either the MSB or canonical form of the UAA.

Verifying the IP settings

1Print another network setup page. Look under the “TCP/IP” heading and make sure the IP address, netmask, and gateway are what you expected.

See “How to print the menu settings and network setup pages” on page 94 if you need help.

Note: To display a command prompt on a Windows computer, click Start Æ Programs Æ Command prompt (or Accessories Æ Command prompt if using

Windows 2000).

2Ping 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):

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