General information on setting IP parameters (front panel)

You can set IP address, network mask, gateway address, and broadcast address from the front panel. See the following topics for procedures for each of the following printers:

■“Setting IP parameters: Phaser 840 printer front panel” on page 57.

■“Setting IP parameters: Phaser 740 printer front panel” on page 58.

■“Setting IP parameters: Phaser 780 printer front panel” on page 60

■“Setting IP parameters: Phaser 360 printer front panel” on page 63.

Printer defaults for network mask and broadcast address

When you set the IP address from the front panel, the printer supplies default values for network mask and broadcast address. These default values are calculated according the first octet of the IP address you set. The following table provides some examples.

1st octet of	Example	Printer’s default	Printer’s default
IP address	IP address	network mask	broadcast address
1 - 127	118.101.14.101	255.0.0.0	118.255.255.255
128 - 191	134.101.14.101	255.255.0.0	134.101.255.255
192 - 223	192.101.14.101	255.255.255.0	192.101.14.255

When you are setting the IP addressing parameters from the front panel, you can accept these default values or change them. However, if you return to the front panel later to change the IP address, the network mask and broadcast address are reset to these default values, and you will have to set them as well if you want values different than these defaults.
