Specify a fixed IP address

Your printer adapter supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). When DHCP is active, an IP address is automatically assigned each time the printer adapter is connected to the network.

If you prefer to specify a fixed IP address rather than use DHCP or other automatic IP addressing supported by your printer adapter, turn off DHCP on the Connect to the Network (Manual) screen.

For help accessing the Connect to the Network (Manual) screen, follow steps 1 through 4 on pages 32 through 33.
