By default, the printer is set to acquire an IP address from the network server using DHCP. Network
addresses assigned by DHCP are temporary, however. After a specified time, the network could assign a
new IP address to the printer. If the print driver is set to an IP address that changes periodically, you can
experience connectivity issues. To avoid problems, or if your network administrator requires a static IP
address for the printer, you can assign the IP address to the printer.
Note:
You can view the IP address of your printer on the control panel or on the Configuration
Report. For details, see
Printing the Configuration Report
on page 29.

To configure the printer to get an IP address from the server automatically or set its own IP address,
select an option:
−
DHCP
allows your DHCP server to assign an IP address to the printer. This option enables
Dynamic DNS Registration.
−
Auto IP
allows the printer to assign an IP address to itself, in the absence of a DHCP-capable
router or access point.
−
BOOTP
allows the printer to obtain an IP address from a BOOTP server that does not respond
to DHCP requests.
−
RARP
allows the printer to obtain an IPv4 address from an administrative host server.
