Method for specifying the IP address

Select a method for specifying an IP address. When you select Automatic, an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway are automatically assigned by the DHCP server.

Note:
If the Dynamic DNS function is not supported, we recommend that you select Manual and then enter an IP address. This is because if you select Automatic, the IP address of the print server changes every time you turn on the printer so that you need to change the printer port setting accordingly.

Set using PING

Select this check box when setting the IP address using the ping command. When not using the ping command, clear this check box.

Set using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)

Assigns a private IP address automatically even there is no DHCP server on your network. It is dimmed if this function is not supported.

IP Address

Enter an IP address for the print server. Be sure that the IP address is unique and does not conflict with any other device on the network.

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask of the IP address.

Default Gateway

Enter the gateway address. If there is a server or a router that functions as a gateway, enter the IP address of the server or the router. If there is no gateway, leave the default values.
