After connecting the printer to the network, you need to set the IP address for the network interface.

To set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway from the control panel, follow the steps below.

Turn on your printer.

Press the Enter button on the printer's control panel once to enter the SelecType mode. The LCD panel displays Information Menu.

Press the Up or Down button until Network Menu appears. Then press the Enter button.

Check that Network I/F = On appears.

If Network I/F = Off appears instead, press the Enter button and then the Up or Down button to change to Network I/F = On. Then press the Enter button, turn off the printer for more than five seconds, and turn it back on.

Press the Up or Down button until Get IP Address = Auto appears. Press the Enter button and then the Up or Down button to change to Get IP Address = Panel. Then press the Enter button. You can use the following methods to get an IP address.

Choose Panel when setting the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using the printer’s control panel. Choose Auto when getting the IP address from a DHCP server. The IP address is automatically obtained from the DHCP server whenever the printer is reset or turned on. Choose PING when setting the IP address using the arp/ping command. The network interface uses the IP address set by the arp/ping command. The settings become available when the printer is reset or turned off and then back on.

Note:

To use Auto, a DHCP server must be correctly configured on the network. See the online help of your operating system for detailed instructions. Choose PING only when setting the IP address using the arp/ping command.

Press the Up or Down button until IP = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx appears. Press the Enter button.

Press the Up or Down button until the desired value appears. Then press the Enter button to set the value.

Note:

Repeat steps 7 and 8 to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

Press the Start button to exit the control panel menus.

Turn off your printer and then turn it back on. Be sure to wait until the initialization is complete.

Print a network status sheet to confirm the new IP address.

Note:

You must first set the IP address before using EpsonNet Config with Web Browser. See the User's Guide for more information about settings on the printer’s control panel.
