Ethernet Setup

IP Assignment

This item allows you to select the method of how the IP Address and its related parameters will
be chosen. Users should consult the administrator for the appropriate setting.

Static IP. The user can choose the appropriate IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
Address. Changing Static IP will cause the printer to reboot.

DHCP (factory default). The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address will be
automatically chosen at power-up. These selections will be grayed out to indicate they
are automatically set.

Note: Changing this option will force a reboot.

IP Address

This item allows you to set the IP Address for the TCP/IP protocol. The entry should include the
four segments each separated by a period (e.g., 10.22.1.18). If the IP Setup is set to DHCP, this
field is automatically assigned and is read-only.

Subnet Mask

This item allows you to set the Subnet Mask for the TCP/IP protocol in four three-digit segments,
each separated by a period (e.g., 255.255.255.0). If the IP Setup is set to DHCP, this field is
automatically assigned and is read-only.

Gateway

This item allows you to set the gateway address for the TCP/IP protocol. The entry includes four
segments each separated by a period (e.g., 10.22.1.18). If the IP Setup is set to DHCP, this field
is automatically assigned and is read-only.

Printer Name

This item allows you assign a name to the printer on the network. This printer name will be stored
in the sysName field of the printer MIB. The default name is PS-xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last
three segment of the MAC address. The name can be alphanumeric (case-sensitive) from 1 to 32
characters. Changing this field will cause the printer to reboot for the change to take place.

MAC Address

This item is the Manufacturer’s Assigned Number, and is unique for the NIC option. This field is
read-only.

Note: The IP Address and the Printer Name cannot be changed in the same Set operation.
If both the IP Address and the Printer Name are both changed and “Set” is clicked, then only one
selection will be accepted and the other selection will remain unchanged.
