Connecting to the Network

Setting the IP Address from the Control Panel

After connecting the printer to the network, you need to set the IP address for the Internal Print Server.

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

Turn on the printer.

Press the SelecType button until Test Menu appears.

Press the Menu button until Network Menu appears.

Press the Item button until the panel displays Network I/F=On.

Press the Item button. The panel displays Network Config=No. Press the Value button to change the Network Config setting to Yes. Press the Enter button.

Press the Item button. The panel displays Get IP Address = Panel. The following methods of acquiring the IP address are supported.

Panel: Choose Panel to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using the printer's control panel.

Auto: Choose Auto when obtaining the IP address from the DHCP server. The IP address is automatically obtained from the Internal Print Server whenever the printer is reset or turned on.

PING: Choose PING when setting the IP address using arp/ping commands. The Internal Print Server uses the IP address set by arp/ping commands. The settings become available when the printer is reset or turned off and on.

Note:

When using Auto, the DHCP server must be installed in your computer and must be correctly configured. See the online help of your operating system for detailed instructions.

Choose PING only when setting the IP address using arp/ping commands.

Press the Item button until IP Byte 1* appears.

Press the Value button until the desired value appears. Then press Enter to set the value.

Note:

To decrease the value, hold the Value button while pressing the SelecType button.

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

Restart the printer to make the settings take effect.

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

Note:

You must first set the IP address before using EpsonNet WebAssist.

See the Reference Guide for more information about settings on the printer's control panel.
