Connections and IP Address

Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is required to identify your printer on a network. Set the printer’s IP address by any of the following methods:

■	DHCP
■	CentreWare Internet Services
■ Auto IP (Host Names)
Information Required for IP Addressing
	Information	Comments
	Internet (IP) address for the printer	Format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx represents
		a decimal number from 0–255.
	Network Mask	If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer
		chooses an appropriate mask.
	Default Router/Gateway address	If you want to communicate with the printer from
		anywhere other than the local network segment,
		you need the router address.

Enabling DHCP on the Printer

Verify that the printer’s DHCP protocol is enabled by setting the front panel or using CentreWare IS.

Note

To determine your printer’s IP address, select Printer Identification at the front panel. For information about the front panel, go to Reference/Features on the User Documentation CD-ROM.

Changing or Modifying the IP Address Using CentreWare Internet Services (IS)

CentreWare IS is a printer administration and support tool using web technology. With CentreWare IS software, you can access printer status and manage your printer over a TCP/IP network using a web browser. For more information, go to Explore/CentreWare IS on the User Documentation CD-ROM.

After setting the printer’s IP address, you can modify the TCP/IP using CentreWare IS.

1.Launch your web browser.

2.Enter your printer's IP address in the browser’s Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

3.Click Properties on the left side of the printer’s main CentreWare IS page.

4.Open the Protocols folder, then click TCP/IP.

5.Enter or modify your printer’s settings, then click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Using Host Names with the Domain Name Service (DNS)

The printer supports DNS through an embedded DNS resolver. The DNS resolver protocol communicates with one or more DNS servers to resolve the IP address for a given host name or the host name for a given IP address.
