  • Page 18: Overview Of Network Setup And Configuration

    Windows operating systems: Run the Installer on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM to automatically set the printer’s IP address if the printer is connected to an established TCP/IP network. You can also manually set the printer’s IP address on the control panel.

  • Page 19: Choosing A Connection Method

    If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port.

  • Page 20: Connecting Via Usb

    USB Connection A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB (1.x or 2.0) cable for your connection. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.

  • Page 21: Configuring The Network Address

    If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information. If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address.

  • Page 22: Automatically Setting The Printer's Ip Address

    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 and Documentation CD-ROM to detect or assign an IP address to your printer. For further instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

  • Page 23: Manually Setting The Printer's Ip Address

    If you are on a network without a DNS server, or in an environment where the network administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can manually set the IP address.
  • Page 24 CentreWare IS, click the Help button in CentreWare IS to go to the CentreWare IS Online Help. After setting the printer’s IP address, you can modify TCP/IP settings using CentreWare IS. Launch your web browser. Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
