Configuring the IP Address Using ARP and PING Commands
This topic describes how to configure the IP address using ARP and PING commands.
To use the ARP and PING commands, you will need to know the printer's MAC address. You can confirm the MAC ad-
dress on the Control Panel.
1. Check the printer's MAC address.
You can confirm the MAC address on the Control Panel as follows:
1. On the Tab Selection screen of the Control Panel, press ◀ or ▶ to select the Settings/Adj. tab (
).
2. Press the OK button.
The Set./Adj. Menu is displayed.
3. Press ▲ or ▼ to select Interface Setup, and then press the OK button.
4. Press ▲ or ▼ to select Ethernet Driver, and then press the OK button.
5. Press ▲ or ▼ to select MAC Address, and then press the OK button.
Note
• If the Tab Selection screen is not displayed, press the Menu button.
• You can investigate the MAC address by printing an interface setting report.

2. In Windows, open a command prompt, or in Mac OS X, start Terminal.
3. Execute the following command to add entries to the ARP table for managing IP addresses and corresponding MAC
addresses.
arp -s [IP address] [the printer's MAC address you have verified]
Example: arp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 00-00-85-xx-xx-xx
Note
• In Mac OS X when using Terminal, enter the arp command in the format
arp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 00-00-85-xx-xx-xx.
For details, refer to the help file for the command line.
4. Execute the following command to send the IP address to the printer and configure it.
ping [IP address as specified in the ARP command] -l 479
Example: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -l 479
Note
• In -l, the l is the letter l.
