TCP/IP and IP Addresses
If your computer is on a large network, contac t your network administrator for the appropriate 
TCP/IP addresses and additiona l configuration information. 
If you are creating your own small Local Area Ne twork or connecting the printer directly to 
your computer using Ethernet, follow the proc edure for automatically setting the printer’s 
Internet Protocol (IP) address. 
PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocol s to communicate over an Ethernet network. 
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is 
important that the addresses are similar, but no t the same; only the last digit needs to be 
different. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has 
the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the EtherTalk protocol to talk to a 
networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TC P/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, 
EtherTalk does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server 
automatically programs an IP address into ev ery PC and printer on the network that is 
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built  into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a 
cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.

Configuring the Network Address
Phaser® 8560 Color Printer 2-6
Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the printer is connected to a small establis hed TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use 
the installer on the  Software and Documentation CD-ROM  to detect or assign an IP address to 
your printer. For further instructions, insert the  Software and Documentation CD-ROM into 
your computer’s CD-ROM drive. After the  Installer launches, follow the prompts for 
installation. 
Note:  For the automatic Installer to function, the pr inter must be connected to an established 
TCP/IP network.
Dynamic Methods of Setting  the Printer’s IP Address
There are two protocols available for dyna mically setting the printer’s IP address:
■DHCP (enabled by default on all printers)
■AutoIP
You can turn on/off both protocols using the control panel, or use CentreWare IS to turn on/off 
DHCP.
Note:  You can view the printer’s IP address at  any time. On the control panel, select 
Information, press the OK button, select Printer Identification, and then press the  OK 
button.
Using the Control Panel
To turn on/off either the DHCP or AutoIP protocol:
1. On the control panel, select 
Printer Setup, and then press the  OK button.
2. Select 
Connection Setup, and then press the  OK button.
3. Select 
Network Setup, and then press the  OK button.
4. Select 
TCP/IP Setup, and then press the  OK button.
5. Select 
DHCP/BOOTP or AutoIP.
6. Press the  OK button to run the selection 
On or Off.
Using CentreWare IS
To turn on/off the DHCP protocol:
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser’s  Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
3. Select  Properties .
4. Select the  Protocols folder on the left navigation panel.
5. Select  TCP/IP .
6. In the BOOTP/DHCP Settings section, set the  BOOTP/DHCP option to On or Off .

Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address
Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network. 
Contact your network administ rator for more information.
If you are on a network without a DNS server , or in an environment where the network 
administrator assigns printer IP addresses, yo u can use this method to manually set the IP 
address. Manually setting the IP address override s DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are 
in a small office with a single PC and use  a dialup modem connection, you can manually set 
the IP address.
Using the Control Panel
To manually set the IP address:
1. On the control panel, select 
Printer Setup, and then press the  OK button.
2. Select 
Connection Setup, and then press the  OK button.
3. Select 
Network Setup, and then press the  OK button.
4. Select 
TCP/IP Setup, and then press the  OK button.
5. Select 
DHCP/BOOTP, and then press the  OK button to select Off.
6. Select 
TCP/IP Address, and then press the  OK button.
7. Enter the printer’s IP address, and then press the  OK button.
