Setting the IP Address Using the ARP/PING Commands
IMPORTANT
When setting the IP Address using the ARP/PING command or NetSpot Device Installer
- The MAC address of the printer is required. For details on the procedure for checking the MAC address, see "e-Manual" (HTML manual) in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
Before setting the IP address
- Make sure that the printer is connected to the network and the printer is ON.
NOTE
If you changed the IP address after installing the printer driver
- Specify the port to be used again in the printer driver. For details on the procedure for setting a port, see "e-Manual" (HTML manual) in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
