General information on setting IP parameters (front panel)
You can set IP address, network mask, gateway address, and broadcast address from
the front panel. See the following topics for procedures for each of the following
printers:
■ “Setting IP parameters: Phaser 840 printer front panel” on page 57.
■ “Setting IP parameters: Phaser 740 printer front panel” on page 58.
■ “Setting IP parameters: Phaser 780 printer front panel” on page 60
■ “Setting IP parameters: Phaser 360 printer front panel” on page 63.
Printer defaults for network mask and broadcast address
When you set the IP address from the front panel, the printer supplies default values
for network mask and broadcast address. These default values are calculated
according the first octet of the IP address you set. The following table provides some
examples.
When you are setting the IP addressing parameters from the front panel, you can
accept these default values or change them. However, if you return to the front
panel later to change the IP address, the network mask and broadcast address are
reset to these default values, and you will have to set them as well if you want values
different than these defaults.

If you are attempting to perform any front panel procedure and you don’t see the
expected menu choices, the front panel may be locked. For information on how to
unlock it, see “If the front panel is locked” on page 165.
