Configuring TCP/IP
Your printer can be set up with a variety of TCP/IP network information,
such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and DNS addresses.
There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP
address, depending on your network.
Static addressing: A TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the
system administrator.
Dynamic addressing via BOOTP/DHCP (default): A TCP/IP address
is assigned automatically by the server.
