Also, the IP address is used to access the settings of your printer through the Embedded Web Server. You can view the IP address of your printer on the control panel or on the Configuration Report.

Note: To view the TCP/IP address on the control panel, wait until the printer has been on for 2 minutes. If the TCP/IP address is 0.0.0.0, or begins with 169, it indicates a network connectivity issue.
