Dynamic Addressing (DHCP)
The TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.
1 Power on your DocuPrint network printer and allow time for an IP address to be assigned by the DHCP server (this time may vary depending on network traffic).
If you are using the Xerox CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet Adapter) to connect your printer to the network, make sure the Adapter is powered on in addition to the printer.
When the CentreDirect External Print Server acquires an IP Address, the SYS LED blinks once per second. If the IP Address is not set the SYSLED blinks 5 times per second.
2 Perform the steps contained in the section “Print the Configuration Sheet” (page
On the Xerox CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet Adapter) set both DIP switches, D1 and D2, to the UP position to disable automatic printing of the configuration page.

Obtain the hardware and TCP/IP addresses from the Configuration Sheet.
Update the lease time, if necessary, depending on your printer usage patterns.
If your network is using this protocol to assign TCP/IP addresses, be aware that the lease on the assigned address can run out if your printer is taken off the network for longer than the allocated lease time.
