Static addressing
To enter a TCP/IP address from your printer’s control panel, take the following step:
1Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.
2Press OK when TCP/IP appears.
3Press the Scroll buttons until Static appears and press OK.
4Press OK when IP Address appears.
5Set the first byte between 0 and 255 using the Scroll buttons and press OK to move to the next byte.
Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the 4th byte.
6When you have finished, press OK.
7Repeat step 5 and 6 to configure the other TCP/IP parameters: subnet mask and gateway address.
8Press Stop to return to Standby mode.
Dynamic addressing (BOOTP/DHCP)
To have a TCP/IP address assigned automatically by the server, take the following step:
1Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the display.
2Press OK when TCP/IP appears.
3Press the Scroll buttons until DHCP or BOOTP appears and press OK.

Configuring EtherTalk
EtherTalk is AppleTalk used in an Ethernet network. This protocol is widely used in Macintosh network environments. To use EtherTalk, take the following step:

Configuring IPX frame types
To use IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare), the format of the network communication frames must be specified for the printer. In most cases, you can keep the Auto setting. However, you can manually set the frame type format, if required. Take the following step to change the frame type format:
1Press Menu until Network on the bottom line of the display and press OK.
2Press the Scroll buttons until NetWare appears and press OK.
3Press the Scroll buttons until the desired frame type appears.
•Auto: Automatically senses and limits the frame type to the first one detected.
•802.2: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.
•802.3: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.
•Ethernet II: Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet Frames. All others will be discarded.
•SNAP: Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.
•Off: The IPX/SPX protocol is disabled.
