Setting the IP Address Using the ARP/PING Command
IMPORTANT:
If Windows Firewall is enabled
- We recommend that you set the IP address using the ARP/PING command or the Printer Status Window.
- 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 more details, see Readme of NetSpot Device Installer. To display the Readme, click [ 
] 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.)
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.
