1) Correlative description for IP address settings
In order to search and set printer’s IP address conveniently for the first time, the factory
default setting is DHCP mode which assigns IP address dynamically. If there is no
DHCP server in the connected LAN and printer is set to DHCP mode as well, then it
would use the internal pre-set address (IP: 10.0.0.1, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0)
automatically.
It is suggested that printer’s IP set to static in actual usage, which can cut down the time
when initializing the Ethernet interface as the printer is turned on and prevent IP
conflicts (The dynamic address used in printer may conflict with another one). The
network segment part of the IP address and Subnet Mask must be the same as those of
PC connecting with a printer. For example, the address of working PC is
192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 (IP/Subnet Mask),then which of printer should be set to
192.168.0.x/255.255.255.0（x=2~254 and should avoid the IP in used. It is not
restricted for NetFinder to search printers in the same network but different segment
parts (can not stride gateway). Relative glossary of IP address may refer to
corresponding information.
2) Setting printer’s IP address
Select the printer information to be modified (black frame appears), click "Assign IP" key.
Set the IP in the dialogue box appearing.
Check the “Use DHCP” if need to assign dynamic address, the settings above would be
disabled automatically. Please make sure there is a DHCP server in the network, or the
printer can not receive an effective IP address.
When to specify static address, uncheck “Use DHCP” and fill in “IP address”, “Subnet
Mask” and “Default Gateway”. If there is no gateway in the network, fill 255.255.255.255
in the “Default gateway”. “IP address” and “Subnet Mask” should obey the assigning
rules of local LAN (Ethernet), please enquire the administrator of networks which the
printer connects to for more details.
Click “OK” to send address setting information to the specified printer. Click “Cancel” if
you abandon the modification.
Click “Search” in the main interface again to update printer information after modifying
the printer’s IP address.
