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 product directly to 
your computer using Ethernet, follow the proc edure for automatically setting the product’s 
Internet Protocol (IP) address. 
PCs and products primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. 
With TCP/IP protocols, each product 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 product 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 products, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, 
EtherTalk does not require products 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 product 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.

Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the product 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 product. For further  instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM  into 
your product’s CD-ROM drive. After the  Installer launches, follow the prompts for 
installation. 
Note: For the automatic Installer to function, the pr oduct must be connected to an established 
TCP/IP network.

Changing or Modifying the IP Address Using CentreWare IS
CentreWare IS provides a simple interface that  enables you to manage, configure, and monitor 
networked products from your desktop using an embedded web server. For complete 
information about Cent reWare IS, click the Help button in CentreWare IS to go to the 
CentreWare IS Online Help .
After setting the product’s IP address, you can  modify TCP/IP settings using CentreWare IS. 
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter the product’s IP address in the browser’s  Address field. 
3. Click  Properties . 
4. Select the  Protocols folder on the left navigation panel. 
5. Select  TCP/IP .
6. Enter or modify the se ttings, and then click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
 
Using Host Names with the Domain Name Service (DNS)
The product supports DNS through an embedded DNS resolver. The DNS resolver protocol 
communicates with one or more DNS servers to  resolve the IP address for a given host name 
or the host name for a given IP address. 
To use an IP host name for the product, the product administrator must configure one or more 
DNS servers and a local DNS domain name space database. To set up the printer for DNS, 
supply a maximum of two DNS name server IP addresses.

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 product IP addresses, you  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.
1. On the control panel, press the  System button.
2. Select 
Connection Setup, and then press the  OK button.
3. Select 
Network Setup, and then press the  OK button.
