The Print Server makes IP requests at power-up, so before making a network connection to the printer

consider how your IP addressing needs to be assigned. The IP addressing of the Internal Ethernet Print Server
can be configured in one of two ways: Using a static IP Address or Using IP Discovery (DHCP, BootP, or
RARP). At factory default settings, IP DISCOVERY is enabled.

1) With Printer Off, connect the network cable then turn ON Printer.

2) The printer will now search for a DHCP server. Allow up to 90 seconds for the printer to retrieve an IP address.

3) At this point it is recommended to print a Network Report. This Network

Report is generated by the printer and lists important default information
such as the IP and MAC Addresses. To print the Network Report:


Press and hold the button for 5 seconds (release when LED blinks

orange).



4) Verify the printer has obtained a valid IP address for your network. If a

valid IP address was not obtained or you wish to use a different static
address, see Section B.1.1.

The information of this label will vary
depending on your configuration and
firmware version.


Once the previous steps have been successfully completed you may now use the IP Address to:

> Install a printer driver, and start printing from your Windows applications; see Section B.3.

-or-

> Browse to the internal web pages for advanced configuration; see Section B.2.
