Check the printer IP address
•
To check the IP address of the printer, obtain the IP address by printing a network
configuration page. Touch (right arrow), touch Setup, touch Network, and then
touch Print Network Settings.
• Ping the printer using the IP address from the command prompt (Windows) or from
Network Utility (Mac OS X). (Network Utility is located in the Utilities folder in the
Applications folder at the top level of the hard disk.)
For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following at the command
prompt (Windows):
C:\Ping 123.123.123.123
Or
In Network Utility (Mac OS X), click the Ping tab, type the 123.123.123.123 in the
box, and then click Ping.
If a reply appears, the IP address is correct. If a time-out response appears, the IP
address is incorrect.
