General information on setting IP parameters (front panel)
You can set IP address, network mask, gateway address, and broadcast address from 
the front panel.  See the following topics for procedures for each of the following 
printers:
Printer defaults for network mask and broadcast address
When you set the IP address from the front panel, the printer supplies default values 
for network mask and broadcast address.  These default values are calculated 
according the first octet of the IP address you set.  The following table provides some 
examples.       
When you are setting the IP addressing parameters from the front panel, you can 
accept these default values or change them.  However, if you return to the front 
panel later to change the IP address, the network mask and broadcast address are 
reset to these default values, and you will have to set them as well if you want values 
different than these defaults.

If you are attempting to perform any front panel procedure and you don’t see the 
expected menu choices, the front panel may be locked.  For information on how to 
unlock it, see “If the front panel is locked” on page 167.
