IP addresses
Finding IP addresses
An IP address is a unique number used by devices on an IP network to locate and communicate with each other.
Devices on an IP network can only communicate with each other if they have unique and valid IP addresses. A
unique IP address means no two devices on the same network have the same IP address.
How to locate a printer IP address
You can locate the printer IP address by printing out the printer network setup page. For more information, see
“Printing a network setup page” on page 52.
How to locate a computer IP address
1
Do one of the following:
In Windows Vista, click All Programs Accessories Command Prompt.
In Windows XP, click Start Programs or All Programs Accessories Command Prompt.
2 Type ipconfig.
3 Press Enter.
The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100.
Assigning an IP address
An IP address may be assigned by the network using DHCP. The print object, created at the end of the installation,
sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.
Many networks have the ability to automatically assign an IP address. Auto-IP is the ability for individual devices to
assign themselves a unique IP address. Most networks use DHCP to assign addresses.
During the Direct IP printing installation of printer software, the IP address is visible in the printer list only as it is
being assigned. The print object that is created in the Printers folder of the operating system will reference the MAC
address of the printer in the port name.
