Printing a Network Setup Page
If the printer is attached to a network, print a network setup page on the printer to verify the network connection. This page also provides important
information to configure the printer for network printing.
1. Make sure the printer is on.
2. Press the Menu button on the operator panel.
3. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to Reports, and then press the Select button .
4. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to Network Setup Page, and then press the Select button .
5. Check the first section on the network setup page, and confirm that Status is "Connected."
If Status is "Not Connected," the LAN drop may not be active, or the network cable may be malfunctioning. Consult a system support person for a
solution, and print another network setup page to verify the printer is connected to the network.
Assigning a Printer IP Address
If the network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned after connecting the network cable to the printer. The default IP address should be
169.254.x.x.
1. Look for the address under the "TCP/IP" heading on the network setup page printed in Printing a Network Setup Page .
2. Go to Verifying the IP Settings , and begin with step 2.
If the network is not using DHCP, then manually assign an IP address to the printer. One of the easiest ways is to use the operator panel:
1. Press the Menu button on the operator panel.
2. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to Network/Ports, and then press the Select button .
3. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to TCP/IP, and then press the Select button .
Standard Network appears if the printer has a network port on the printer system board. If a print server is installed, you see Network Option 1.
4. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to Address, and then press the Select button .
5. Using the numeric pad, enter the IP address. When the address is entered, press the Select button .
Submitting Selection appears briefly.
6. Press the Down arrow button until appears next to Netmask, and then press the Select button .
7. Using the numeric pad, enter the IP netmask. When the address is entered, press the Select button .
Submitting Selection appears briefly.
