Assigning the printer a static IP address

Getting ready

Before assigning the printer a static IP address, you must find the following

information about your network:

• The IP address range of the network DHCP server

• Subnet mask

•Gateway

To find this information, see the configuration utility for the network router or switch.

Otherwise, see the documentation that came with the network router or switch.

The static IP address must be outside the range of IP addresses that your network

assigns to devices on the network.

For example, a network might use DHCP to assign IP addresses that range from

1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.100. In this case, 1.1.1.25 would not be a good static IP address to

assign to the printer since it falls in the range of IP addresses assigned by the network.

However, 1.1.1.101 would be a good static IP address because it falls outside the

range of IP addresses assigned by the network.
