Check your web browser

Check the printer IP address
● To check the IP address of the printer, obtain the IP address by printing a network configuration
page. From the printer control panel display, touch (Wireless), touch Settings, and then touch
Print Network Configuration.
● Ping the printer using the IP address from the command prompt (Windows) or from Network
Utility (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 (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.
