Preparing to set up the printer on an Ethernet network
To configure your printer to connect to an Ethernet network, organize the following information before you
begin:
Note: If your network automatically assigns IP addresses to computers and printers, continue on to
installing the printer.
• A valid, unique IP address for the printer to use on the network
• The network gateway
• The network mask
• A nickname for the printer (optional)
Note: A printer nickname can make it easier for you to identify your printer on the network. You can
choose to use the default printer nickname, or assign a name that is easier for you to remember.
You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network and an available port where the
printer can physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential
problems caused by a damaged cable.
Installing the printer on an Ethernet network
For Windows users
1. Insert the Printer Driver and Documentations CD in the CD/DVD drive of your PC.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.
3. A device is detected and it is displayed on a device list. Choose a device to install and click Next.
4. Choose the component to install and click Next.
5. Installation was completed.
For Macintosh users
1. Allow the network DHCP server to assign an IP address to the printer.
2. Obtain the printer IP address either:
- From the printer control panel
- From the TCP/IP section in the Network/Ports menu
- By printing a network setup page or menu settings page, and then finding the TCP/IP section
Note: You will need the IP address if you are configuring access for computers on a different
subnet than the printer.
