Step 2: Setting up TCP/IP on the printer
You need to set the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway for the printer. Set them by
using one of the following two methods. You may need to contact your network administrator
to select the best way.
• Using the DHCP server (see below)
• Using the Network Setup Tool (see page 44)
NOTE
• You can also setup the printer using BOOTP or RARP.
[A] Using the DHCP server
If the administrator manages the network with DHCP server, it is possible to assign IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway automatically from DHCP server by default.
These can be viewed by printing out the configuration page. It can be printed by pressing the
PRINT/RESET button on the printer panel more than 2 seconds and less than 5 seconds.
NOTE
• If the printer receives the IP Address with unlimited lease term, the printer keeps the address
permanently. The printer saves the address statically and the DHCP function becomes
disable automatically.
• If the printer’s LPR port is created on the computer with the IP Address leased by DHCP
server (ex. Broadband Router), the printer may not print when the printer’s IP Address is
changed because of the time limit of lease. In that case, it is strongly recommended to assign
a static IP Address to the printer using the method “[B] Using the Network Setup Tool (Mac
OS 8.5 - Mac OS 9.2)”.
