Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address

If the printer is connected to a small established 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 Xerox Installer launches, follow the prompts for installation. 

Note:

For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established 

TCP/IP network.

Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address

There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address: 

•

DHCP (enabled by default on all Phaser 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, then press the OK button.

To turn on/off either the DHCP or AutoIP protocol:

1. On the control panel, select 

Printer Setup > Connection Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IPv4 

Setup, then press the OK button.

2. Select 

DHCP/BOOTP or AutoIP.

3. Press the 

OK button to turn the selection On or Off.

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.

3. Select 

Properties.

4. Select the 

Protocols folder on the left navigation panel.

5. Select 

TCP/IP.

6. Click the 

TCP/IP (v4) button.

7. In the BOOTP/DHCP Settings section, set the 

BOOTP/DHCP option to On or Off.

8. In the TCP/IP Settings section, enter the static IP address which may be different than the DHCP or 

auto IP address listed. Check that the Network Mask and Router/Gateway address are correct for 
your network.

9. Click the 

Save Changes button.
