Check the device IP address
•
To check the IP address of the device from the control panel (color display models
only), touch the Setup button, select Network, select View Network Settings, and
then select either Display Wired Summary or Display Wireless Summary.
For devices with a two-line display, the user must obtain the IP address by printing a
network configuration page. Press the Setup button, select Network, select Network
Settings, and then select Print Network Configuration Page.
• Ping the device using the IP address from the command prompt.
For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following at the MS-DOS
prompt:
C:\Ping 123.123.123.123
If a reply appears, the IP address is correct. If a time-out response appears, the IP
address is incorrect.
