Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address
Note:
Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network. Contact
your network administrator for more information.
If you are on a network without a DHCP server, or in an environment where the network administrator
assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP address. Manually setting
the IP address overrides 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.
