Setting the IP Address

Solution

Setting the IP Address

There are three methods for setting the IP address.

If you changed the IP address of the printer after installing the printer driver, reset the port to be used for the printer driver.

For details on the procedure for setting a port, see "User's Guide" (HTML manual) in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

Setting the IP Address Using NetSpot Device Installer

important:

If Windows Firewall is enabled

It is recommended that you set the IP address using the ARP/PING command.
If you want to set the IP address using NetSpot Device Installer, you need to add "NetSpot Device Installer" to Windows Firewall in advance. Perform either of the following procedures.

- Adding "NetSpot Device Installer" to the [Exceptions] sheet in the [Windows Firewall] dialog box (For details on the procedure for adding "NetSpot Device Installer", see Readme of NetSpot Device Installer by clicking [ ] in [NetSpot Device Installer for TCP/IP] in the [Additional Software Programs] screen in CD-ROM Setup.)

- Installing NetSpot Device Installer (You can add it to Windows Firewall during the installation.)
