as the URL. (Most browsers will take a simple IP address; if yours doesn't, put an http:// before the IP
address.) If you don't know your print server's IP address,

print a configuration page

-- the IP address

will be listed in the TCP/IP section.

The embedded web server's screens should be reasonably self-explanatory, and a little exploration will
probably show you what you need to know. All entries show the current values of the print server's
parameters, and you can change those values by entering new ones (if your network administrator has
allowed full access to them). Note that if you change the print server's IP address, you will lose the
connection to the print server. You can reconnect by pointing your browser at the new IP address.

Some Useful Techniques

Printing a configuration page

To print a configuration page, press the Test button on the print server.

This will print out the current value of the print server's configuration parameters on the attached
printer. The section on

Interpreting the Configuration Page

will help you understand the meaning of the

items on the configuration page.

Setting an IP address

The easiest way to set an IP address on the print server is to use the embedded web server. (You should
consult with your network administrator before you make any changes to the print server's configuration,
and notify other users of any change you will make.)

To set an IP address:

1. Open your browser and enter the print server's IP address as the URL. (If you don't know the IP

address, you can find it by

printing a configuration page

.)
