For details about setting up IPv4 address, see Hardware Guide.

For details about setting the IPv4 address of the printer using DHCP, see p.341 “Using DHCP”.

This completes the setup for specifying a printer using an IPv4 address when printing. When using a host name to specify a printer, proceed to p.288 “Using a Host Name Instead of an IPv4 Address” and continue the setup.
