Use dynamic RARP server and telnet
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) is another internet protocol that lets you set
your printer’s IP address.
To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using a RARP server and telnet:
1 Determine the hardware address of the printer. Refer to the item labeled UAA on the
network setup page. Use the number in the right column.
2 Make sure RARP is enabled. Check the network setup page.
3 Set up the RARP server. Follow the instructions provided by your host operating
system. Use the hardware address from step 1.
4 Reset the printer. The printer sends a RARP request, and the server responds.
Turn the printer off, and then on again.
5 From a command prompt, use the telnet command to access the printer.
6 Follow the instructions that appear on the screen after entering the command to set
the netmask and gateway.
Use Static ARP entry and telnet
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is an Internet standard that assigns IP addresses to
network interface cards of workstations on a local area network. To set the IP address,
netmask, and gateway using static ARP entry and telnet:
1 Determine the hardware address of the printer. Refer to the item labeled UAA on the
network setup page. Use the number in the right column.
2 Add a static ARP entry for the IP address using the following:
– The hardware address from step 1.
– The dotted decimal form of the IP address, such as 192.168.2.0.
– The commands appropriate to the host operating system.
3 Use the telnet command to access the printer.
4 Follow the instructions that appear on the screen after entering the command to set
the printer IP address, netmask, and gateway.
