This will help you to set up a network and troubleshooting problems.To print the report:In ready mode, press and hold the (cancel button) for about 5 seconds. You can find your machine’s MAC addressand IP address.For example:MAC Address : 00:15:99:41:A2:78IP Address : 192.0.0.192Setting IP addressFirstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements. In most cases a new IP address will beautomatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located on the network.In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a static IP and is often required in corporateIntranets for security reasons.DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to assignan IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained above. If the reportshows that the IP address has changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in thereport.Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address from your computer.In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this address for you.IP setting using SetIP ProgramThis program is for manually setting the network IP address of your machine using its MAC address to communicatewith the machine.
