Setting the IP Address

There are the following three methods for setting the IP address.

Setting the IP Address Using NetSpot Device Installer

This section describes the procedure for using NetSpot Device Installer without installing it. For details on installing NetSpot Device Installer, see "e-Manual" (HTML manual) in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

1. Make sure that the LAN cable is connected properly, and the printer is turned ON.

2. Turn the computer on, and then log on to Windows as a user with administrative rights.

3. Insert the supplied CD-ROM "User Software" into the CD-ROM drive of your computer.

4. Click [Additional Software Programs].

5. Click [Start] for [NetSpot Device Installer for TCP/IP].
If [License Agreement] appears, read the contents, and then click [Yes].

6. Set the IP address.

• If [Status] is set to [Not Configured], and the device of which [Device Name] is a MAC address is displayed
• If any devices in which [IP Address] is set to [192.168.0.215] are displayed
• If your case falls within neither of the above cases

If [Status] is set to [Not Configured], and the device of which [Device Name] is a MAC address is displayed

1. Select the device.

2. Set the IP address.

When obtaining an IP address using DHCP (The DHCP server needs to be running.)	Select [IP Address Settings] → [DHCP] from the [Device] menu.
When assigning an IP address using IP Address Pool (IP Address Pool needs to be specified.)	Select [IP Address Settings] → [IP Address Pool] from the [Device] menu. * For more details on IP Address Pool, see Help of NetSpot Device Installer. (Help is displayed by clicking [Help] in the [Help] menu.)
When setting an IP address directly	(1) Select [IP Address Settings] → [Manual Setting] from the [Device] menu. (2) Enter the IP address of the printer. (3) Click [OK].

3. When the message <The device has been reset.> appears, click [OK].
Wait for approximately 20 seconds or longer as is after clicking [OK].
After completing the reset, the settings are enabled.

If any devices in which [IP Address] is set to [192.168.0.215] are displayed

1. Select the device.

2. Select [Protocol Settings] from the [Device] menu.

3. Set the IP address.
(1) Specify each setting.
(2) Click [OK].

4. When the message <The device has been reset.> appears, click [OK].
Wait for approximately 20 seconds or longer as is after clicking [OK].
After completing the reset, the settings are enabled.

If your case falls within neither of the above cases
A device on the network may have the same IP address as that set for the printer. In this case, perform the following procedure.
1. Turn OFF the device that has the same IP address or remove the device from the network.
2. Repeat the procedure from the beginning.
3. After completing the settings for this printer, restore the devices to their original states.
* If you cannot set the IP address using NetSpot Device Installer including the case where this procedure is not possible, set the IP address using the ARP/PING command.

Setting the IP Address Using the ARP/PING Command

1. Make sure that the LAN cable is connected properly, and the printer is turned ON.

2. Turn the computer on, and then log on to Windows as a user with administrative rights.

3. Run Command Prompt.
From the [Start] menu, select [All Programs] → [Accessories] → [Command Prompt].

4. Enter "arp -s <IP address> <MAC address>", then press the [ENTER] key on your keyboard.

<IP address>	Enter the IP address to assign to the printer. Specify the address with four numbers (from 0 to 255) separated with a period (.).
<MAC address>	Enter the MAC address of the printer. Separate the number every two digits with a hyphen (-).

・ Input example: "arp -s 192.168.0.215 00-1E-8F-05-70-31"

5. Enter "ping <IP address> -l 479", then press the [ENTER] key on your keyboard.

<IP address>

Enter the same IP address as the one entered in Step 4.

* Enter a lowercase "L" for "-l".
・ Input example: "ping 192.168.0.215 -l 479"
→ The IP address is set for the printer.
* The subnet mask is set automatically according to the IP address.
* The gateway address is set to [0.0.0.0].

6. Enter "exit", then press the [ENTER] key on your keyboard.
→ Command Prompt closes.

Setting the IP Address Using the Printer Status Window

1. Click [ ] in the Windows task tray, and then select the printer name.

2. From the [Options] menu, select [Device Settings] → [Network Settings].

3. Set the IP address.
