36 Printer Connection and Software Installation
Using the Installer on the Software Pack CD-ROM (Windows Only)
You can assign the IP address to the printer when setting up the printer with the installer on the Software Pack CD-
ROM.
When you use the manual Wireless setup method, the installer detects the printer by the automatically assigned IP
address. You can modify the assigned IP address to the desired IP address by clicking Advanced on the Configure
Printer screen while in the setup process.

The IP address is assigned to your printer. To verify the setting, display the web browser on any computer connected
to the network and enter the IP address into the address bar on the browser. If the IP address is set up correctly, the
CentreWare Internet Services is displayed in your browser.
Verifying the IP Settings
You can confirm the settings by printing the System Settings page or using the ping command.

2 Look under the IPv4 heading of TCP/IP on the Wireless Network section of the System Settings page to
confirm that the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are appropriate.
If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 (the factory default) or 169.254.xx.xx, an IP address has not been assigned.
If the IP address is not resolved automatically, see "Assigning an IP Address Manually" on page 35.
Using the Ping Command
To verify if the printer is active on the network, run the ping command in your computer.
The following procedure uses Windows 7 as an example.
1 Click Start All Programs Accessories Run.
2 Enter "cmd", and then click OK.
The Command Prompt window is displayed.
3 Enter "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your printer), and then press the Enter key.
Receiving the reply from the printer IP address means that the printer is appropriately connected to the
network.
