TCP/IP menu

Internet Protocol (IP) specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets are delivered in the same order in which they were sent.

Enable DHCP

Set IP Address

Set IP Netmask

Set IP Gateway

You can

Specify Yes or No as the value. DHCP is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The network automatically assigns a number for the network information.

Set the IP address manually.

Assign a subnet mask.

A subnet mask is used to separate an IP address into two parts: an extended network address and a host address. The subnet mask is written using the dotted decimal notation and should contain 32 bits. Example: 255.255.255.0

Note: This option is disabled if Enable DHCP is enabled.

Specify the IP address of another device on the same network. This device acts as a router or access point to other devices on another network.

General networking information

Assigning an IP address

An IP address may be assigned by the network using DHCP. The print object, created at the end of the installation, sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.

Many networks have the ability to automatically assign an IP address. Auto-IP is the ability for individual devices to assign themselves a unique IP address. Most networks use DHCP to assign addresses.

During the Direct IP printing installation of printer software, the IP address is visible in the printer list only as it is being assigned. The print object that is created in the Printers folder of the operating system will reference the MAC address of the printer in the port name.

If the IP address is not automatically assigned, you can try manually entering an address after selecting your printer from the available list.
