Setting the printer’s IP address
There are three ways to assign the printer’s IP address:
■ Use the printer’s front panel. For more information, see “General
information: setting IP parameters from the front panel” on page 52.
■ Use DHCP. For more information, see “Setting IP parameters: DHCP”
on page 62.
■ Download a PostScript utility file. For more information, see the

file for the PostScript utility files in the UTILS directory. Macintosh users
will find the ReadMe file to the PostScript utility files in the Network Utilities
folder.
