Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically programs an IP address into every computer and printer on the network that is
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP
addressing.
Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use the
installer on the Software Disc to detect or assign an IP address to your printer. For further
instructions, insert the Software Disc into your computer’s CD/DVD drive. After the Installer
launches, follow the prompts for installation.
Note:
For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established TCP/IP network.
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address
There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:
❏ DHCP (enabled by default)
❏ AutoIP
You can turn on/off both protocols using the operator panel, or use EpsonNet Config to turn on/off
DHCP.
Note:
You can print a report that includes the printer’s IP address. On the operator panel, press the
(Menu)
button, select Report/List, press the
button, select Printer Settings, and then press the
button. The IP address is listed on the Printer Settings page.
Using the Operator Panel
To turn on/off either the DHCP or AutoIP protocol:
1. On the operator panel, press the
(Menu) button.
2. Select Admin Menu, and then press the
button.
3. Select Wired Network, and then press the
button.
