IP in the dialog box appearing.

automatically. Please make sure there is a DHCP server in the network, or the printer can not
receive an effective IP address.
When to specify static address, uncheck “Use DHCP” and fill in “IP address”, “Subnet Mask” and
“Default Gateway”. If there is no gateway in the network, fill 255.255.255.255 in the “Default
gateway”. “IP address” and “Subnet Mask” should obey the assigning rules of local LAN (Ethernet),
please enquire the administrator of networks which the printer connects to for more details.
Click “OK” to send address setting information to the specified printer. The printer takes response
after “Close this window on success” is checked, and then this dialog is closed automatically. Select
“Reload Timer” then the software will wait for the printer’s response. Generally, printer will take
response in a circle time if network connection is correct.

IP address.
