Configuration Using The Control Panel

You can set NIC settings from the printer control panel.

CAUTION When the printer is first powered on, E-NET INIT. displays on the control panel. To prevent a loss of NIC configuration information, do not change the NIC settings while this message displays. When the initialization is complete, E-NET READY displays and you can safely change the NIC settings from the control panel.

1.You can set any of three listed parameters from the printer control panel. These parameters are located in the Ethernet Address or Wireless Address menu.

2.Power on the printer. E-NET INIT. displays when the printer is powered on. Configuration can be done after E-NET READY displays.

3.Verify the current NIC firmware version number.

If you need to update the printer firmware, you must do so now. After the update is complete, you must restart this instruction from the beginning. Your printer’s User Manual includes instructions for upgrading the printer firmware. The process of upgrading the printer firmware will automatically upgrade the NIC firmware to the appropriate level.

4.From the control panel, navigate to the IP Address, Netmask,

and Gateway Address (Subnet Mask) menu options and enter the appropriate values. You must press the ↵ (Enter) key after

inputting each segment of the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address.

5.Place the printer online to start the NIC IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address update process. This process will reboot the printer and may take several minutes. Wait until E-NET READY displays on the control panel.
