3.Select Configure from the Admin menu.
a.Enter the IP address to assign to the printer.
b.Enter the subnet mask.
c.Enter the default gateway address (if applicable) or leave blank.
d.Enter the hardware address of your printer. This address is listed on the Network Settings page under Network Address, for example, 00:40:af:c9:f0:d8. Enter it exactly as it appears on the Network Settings page.
4.Click on Go to send the new settings to the printer.
After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but possibly up to 5 minutes on very large or busy networks), the printer will reset and print a Network Settings page. The new IP settings will be listed in the TCP/IP Network Information section of the Network Settings page.
If the new IP address does not appear on the Network Settings page under “Protocol Address,” you may have entered the hardware address incorrectly in BOOTPL32. Repeat Steps 2 and 3, and check the IP address on the new Network Settings page.
The new IP address can also be verified in BOOTPL32 by turning the printer off and on, and selecting Verify from the Admin menu. It should report that the Unit is Active.
Using ARP
You can use the following procedure to set the IP address on the printer. Then, you can set the other IP parameters from the Network Administration page. The network printer must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.
1.From Windows, start an MS DOS session.
2.At the command prompt enter: arp
(for the hardware address, use hyphens as separators, instead of colons.)
(e.g. >C:arp
Then enter ping [IP address]
(request should time out)
(e.g. >C:ping 123.123.123.1)
3.Turn the printer off and on, and use the ping command again to verify that the printer has its IP address. If it has the address, the result is a confirmation message: [IP address] is alive
4.Remove the entry from the ARP cache using this command: arp
(e.g. >C:arp
