Configuring the IP Address Using ARP and PING Commands
This topic describes how to configure the IP address using ARP and PING commands.
To use the ARP and PING commands, you will need to know the printer's MAC address. You can confirm the MAC ad-
dress on the Control Panel.
1. Check the printer's MAC address.
You can confirm the MAC address on the Control Panel as follows:
1. On the  Tab Selection screen  of the Control Panel, press  ◀ or  ▶ to select the Settings/Adj. tab ( 
).
2. Press the  OK button.
The  Set./Adj. Menu  is displayed.
3. Press  ▲ or  ▼ to select  Interface Setup , and then press the  OK button.
4. Press  ▲ or  ▼ to select  Ethernet Driver , and then press the  OK button.
5. Press  ▲ or  ▼ to select  MAC Address , and then press the  OK button.
Note•If the  Tab Selection screen  is not displayed, press the  Menu button.
• You can investigate the MAC address by printing an interface setting report.
 (See " Printing Interface Setting Reports .")
→P.928
2.In Windows, open a command prompt, or in Mac OS X, start Terminal.
3. Execute the following command to add entries to the ARP table for managing IP addresses and corresponding MAC
addresses.
arp -s [IP address] [the printer's MAC address you have verified]
Example: arp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 00-00-85-xx-xx-xx
Note• In Mac OS X when using Terminal, enter the arp command in the format
arp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 00-00-85-xx-xx-xx.
For details, refer to the help file for the command line.

							4.Execute the following command to send the IP address to the printer and configure it.
ping [IP address as specified in the ARP command] -l 479Example: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -l 479Note• In  -l, the  l is the letter  l.
• In Mac OS X when using Terminal, enter the ping command in the format
ping -s 479 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
For details, refer to the help file for the command line.Note• The  subnet  mask  and  default  gateway  are  set  to  0.0.0.0.  Use  RemoteUI  to  change  the  subnet  mask  and  de-
fault gateway to match your network settings.
For details on RemoteUI,  see "Using RemoteUI ."

Using RemoteUI
Enter the printer's IP address in a web browser to display the RemoteUI page. After you log on to RemoteUI from the page,
you can check and change the status of the printer and print jobs, and configure network settings.
To access RemoteUI, start the web browser and enter the following URL in the  Location (or Address  ) box to display the
RemoteUI page.
http://printer IP address or name/ Example: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/  
For details on configuring printer settings for networks, refer to the following topics.

Note•RemoteUI  also  offers  many  other  features.  You  can  display  the  ink  levels,  check  error  messages  and  other
status information, and cancel print jobs.
• By  factory  default,  the  English  screen  is  displayed.  To  change  the  display  language,  select  the  desired  lan-
guage under  Language before logging on in administrator mode.
• If  you  login  in  Administrator  Mode,  you  can  configure  to  use  the  Jumbo  Frame  function  in  the  Network
page. However, this function might not be able to be used depending on the network environment.Important• Use Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later, Internet Explorer 5.01 or later, or Firefox 1.5 or later as a web browser.
In Mac OS X, you can also use Safari 1.32 or later or Safari 2.03 or later.
• Access is not possible via a proxy server. In environments where a proxy server is used, add the printer's IP
address to  Exceptions  (addresses accessed without a proxy server) in the web browser proxy server settings.
(Settings may vary depending on the network environment.)
• Enable JavaScript and cookies in the web browser.
• If you access RemoteUI with the printer name instead of its IP address, make sure the DNS settings are cor-
rectly configured.
• RemoteUI might not be able to start depending on the network environment.
• Check that  Use RemoteUI  in System Setup  is set to On in the printer Control Panel.
