Other ways to set the IP address (for advanced users and administrators)

For information on how to configure your network printer using the BRAdmin Light utility or Web Based Management (web browser), see Setting the IP address and subnet mask.

Using DHCP to configure the IP address

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

Note

If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the boot method to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the boot method, use the BRAdmin applications or Web Based Management (web browser).
