Finding the IP Address of Your Printer
To install the print drivers for a network-connected printer, you need the IP address of your printer. You
also need the IP address to access the settings of your printer through CentreWare Internet Services.
The IP address of your printer appears on the Configuration Page. You can also view it on the printer
control panel.
To print the Configuration Page:
1. On the control panel, press the System button.
2. At Information Pages, press the OK button.
3. Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button to select Configuration, then press OK to print the
page.
The IP address of the printer is listed in the Network Setup section of the page.
Note: The first time you turn on your printer, it automatically prints the Startup Page. If the IP
address listed on the page is 0.0.0.0, the printer has not had time to acquire an IP address from
the DHCP server. Wait a minute or two, then print the Startup Page again.
To view the IP address of the printer on the control panel:
1. On the control panel, press the System button.
2. Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button to select Admin Menu, then press the OK button.
