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 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.

■ DHCP (enabled by default on all printers)
