Use the Following IP Address
If you need to assign
the PrintServer a fixed IP address (also known as Static IP
Address), select Use the Following IP Address, and enter
the appropriate values under IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Gateway. To find your router’s IP address, consult
your router’s documentation. The Device IP Address and
Subnet Mask are the same as those of any PC connected
to the network. If you change the PrintServer’s IP address,
make sure you that you reconnect to the PrintServer
using that new IP address. Otherwise, you will not be
