How to locate a printer IP address

You can locate the printer IP address by viewing the printer network setup page.

How are IP addresses assigned?

An IP address may be assigned automatically by the network using DHCP. Once the printer is set up on a computer,

the computer sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.
If the IP address is not automatically assigned, you will be asked during wireless setup to manually enter an address

and other network information after selecting your printer from the available list.

What is a key index?

A wireless access point (wireless router) can be configured with as many as four WEP keys. Only one key is used on

the network at a time, however. The keys are numbered, and the number of a key is referred to as its key index. All

devices on the wireless network must be configured to use the same key index when multiple WEP keys are configured

on the wireless access point.
Select the same key index on your printer as you are using on your wireless access point.
