The print server automatically releases any names and IP addresses associated with the DHCP server and
re-initializes the TCP/IP protocol for the print server (unless a BOOTP configuration is currently in effect). At
this point, TCP/IP is unconfigured, and the print server begins to send —even before power is cycled—BOOTP
requests to acquire new IP configuration information. If no BOOTP reply is received, the IP address remains at
the factory default 192.0.0.192. DHCP is disabled.

After power to the print server is cycled, only BOOTP requests are sent and only BOOTP replies are processed.
Any configuration of IP parameters done manually is ignored.

DHCP

The print server automatically releases any names and IP addresses associated with the BOOTP server and

Manual

BOOTP and DHCP are disabled.

You should proceed to manually set all of the IP configuration parameters, including IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway, and idle timeout.
You can use the settings available in the same tool you are using.

Caution:
If the print server is switched from using an address allocated by a DHCP server to using a manually assigned
address, that manually assigned address should be outside any DHCP range used for other devices on the
network. An alternative is to tell the DHCP server that the print server's address is fixed so that it will never be
allocated to another client.

Returning to factory defaults

You can return the print server to its

factory-default state

(also called “cold reset”) by using the

factory-default reset

procedure
