Printing a network configuration report
You can print Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control panel
that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help you to set
up a network.
Press the (Info) button on the control panel.
Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine’s MAC
address and IP address.
For example:
• MAC Address: 00:15:99:41:A2:78
• IP Address: 169.254.192.192

Setting IP address
First, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements.
In most cases a new IP address will be automatically assigned by a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located on the network.

Before using the SetIP program, disable the computer firewall from Control
Panel > Security Center > Windows Firewall.

2 Follow the instructions in the installation window.
3 Connect your machine to the network with a network cable.
