Assigning the IP Address Manually

These instructions are for assigning a static IP address to your printer from the control panel of the printer. Once an IP address is assigned, you can change it using CentreWare Internet Services.

To assign a static IP address to the printer, you need the following information to assign the IP address:

•An IP address properly configured for your network.

•The Network Mask address

•The default Router/Gateway address

If you are on a network managed by a network administrator, contact your network administrator to obtain the network information.

For home networks that use routers or other devices to connect the printer to the network, refer to the router or device instructions on assigning network addresses. The router or device documentation can give you a range of acceptable address numbers you can use. It is important that the addresses be similar to the IP addresses used by other printers and computers on the network, but not the same. Only the last digit must be different. For example, your printer can have the IPv4 address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the IP address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the IP address 192.168.1.4.

The router could assign the static IP address of the printer to another computer that obtains its IP address dynamically. To avoid having the IP address reassigned, give the printer an address at the higher end of the address range allowed by the router or device. For example, if your computer has IP address 192.168.1.2, and your router or device allows IP addresses to 192.168.1.25, select an IP address between 192.168.1.20 and 192.168.1.25.

To assign a static IP address to the printer:

1.On the printer control panel, press the Menu button.

2.Press the Down Arrow button to go to Admin Menu and then press the OK button.

3.At Network Setup, press OK.

4.Press the Down Arrow button to scroll to TCP/IP and press OK.

5.Press the Down Arrow button to scroll to IPv4 and press OK.

6.At Get IP Address, press OK.
