Chapter 3 Installing Printer Drivers and Utilities
Assigning the Printer an IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address
To print using the TCP/IP protocol, you must assign the printer an IP address, subnet mask and a gateway. If you are uncertain about what setting you should use, consult your network administrator.
The IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway can be assigned through the printer's control panel or by using the Discover Tool and the printer's internal web page. The Discover Tool is a utility that searches the network for T8006e printers and displays the IP address and device name. Clicking on the IP address will take you to the printer's internal web page and allow the configuration of the network settings.
For more information on how to use the Discover Tool and to how to configure the printer using the internal web page, refer to Appendix E Network Management.
IP Address
The IP Address submenu allows you to set the printer IP address from the printer control panel. The following example shows how to set the printer IP address to 192.168.31.27.
