Check the IP address of the printer.

The printer will be assigned an IP address through the AutoIP method. This address should
be in the range of 169.254. Access the printer IP address by one of the following methods:

Print a network setup page. For more information on printing a network setup page, see

, or see the printer documentation.

Use the IP Setup Utility located on the

MarkNet N8050 Utilities

CD to display the print

server IP address.

Make sure the PC has assigned itself an IP address that is different than the printer, but is still
within the same IP range. For example:

If the computer IP address is not within the same range as the print server, the IP address will
need to changed so that it is within the appropriate range.

For information on locating and changing the computer IP address, see the computer or
operating system documentation.

Open a Web browser, and enter the print server IP address as the URL to access the
embedded Web page of the print server.
