4.2.3. IP Address

The printer’s IP address can be automatically set through the DHCP function and can also be set manually.

| Automatic Setting

The DHCP automatic setting function is enabled by default.

1. Connect the printer to the network via a network cable and complete the startup preparation work;

2. The printer will automatically obtain the IP address assigned by the server which can be used after a few seconds.

Note:

• If DHCP cannot automatically obtain an IP address, the printer will automatically use the default IP address: 169.254.1.1.

• Due to the characteristics of DHCP, if the printer is not used for a long time or if the network access point is changed, the IP address assigned to the printer automatically by the network may change, resulting in the printer can not be connected; therefore, it is recommended to enable the DHCP function and bind the IP address assigned automatically by the network with the MAC address of the printer.

| Manual Setting

Type the IP address into the Web browser’s address line to open the embedded Web server.

1. Click Settings in the navigation bar to open the Settings interface;

2. Select Network Settings - IPV4 Settings;

3. Successively set the IP Address Assignment Mode (Manual), IP Address and Subnet Mask. Other items are optional;

4. Click Apply to save the settings.

Note:

• You can use the embedded Web server to change the IP Address Assignment Mode to Automatic or Manual.

• If you want to reset all settings of the printer, you can restore the factory settings. This can be obtained by pressing down the button on the control panel
(as shown below), power on the printer when it is powered off, and then releasing the button after 2-3 seconds. The reset is completed after the printer enters the ready status.
