Configure IP Settings Using the Embedded Web Server

Selecting Between IPv4 and IPv6 Protocols

You can configure the printer to communicate with networks that use IPv4, IPv6, or both.

1. In the Embedded Web Server, log in as administrator, then click Connectivity.

2. In the Connections area, click Ethernet.

3. In the Common area, click Edit.

4. For Host Name, type the name by which the printer is known.

5. Click IP Mode, then select an option.
   
   Note: The Dual Stack setting allows the router to assign IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses, as needed.
   
   

6. When in Dual Stack mode, you can give priority to the IPv6 address for resources. For IPv6 Priority over IPv4 at Domain Name Resolution, click the Enable toggle button.

7. Click OK.

Configuring IPv4 Settings

1. In the Embedded Web Server, log in as administrator, then click Connectivity.

2. In the Connections area, click Ethernet.

3. In the IPv4 area, click Edit.

4. For Mode, click an option.

   • DHCP with Auto IP: This option allows the printer to assign an IP address when a DHCP server is not on the network or is not responding. The printer sends a request for an IP address to a DHCP server. If the printer does not receive a response, then the printer automatically assigns an IP address.

   • Static: This option disables dynamic addressing and allows you to type a static IP address. Type an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address.

   • BOOTP: This option permits the printer to obtain an IP address from a BOOTP server that is not configured to accept DHCP requests.

   • DHCP: This option permits the printer to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server or from a BOOTP server that is configured to accept DHCP requests. The printer requests that the server register the IP address and hostname of the printer with the DNS server.

5. To release the DHCP address when the printer is powered off, for Release current IP when the Device is powered off, click the toggle button.

6. Click OK.
   
   Note: For the new settings to take effect, restart the printer. Changing the IP address disconnects the Embedded Web Server. To reconnect to the Embedded Web Server, in the address field of the Web browser, type the new IP address of the printer.

Configuring IPv6 Settings

IPv6 hosts can automatically configure themselves when connected to a routed IPv6 network using the Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP along with other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local multicast router solicitation request for configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers respond to this request with a router advertisement packet containing network-layer configuration parameters.

1. In the Embedded Web Server, log in as administrator, then click Connectivity.

2. In the Connections area, click Ethernet.

3. In the IPv6 area, click Edit.

4. To select how DHCP operates for IPv6, click Purpose, then select an option.

5. If you have enabled Manual Address, type values for Manual Address and Gateway Address.

6. Click OK.
   
   Note: For the new settings to take effect, restart the printer. Changing the IP address disconnects the Embedded Web Server. To reconnect to the Embedded Web Server, in the address field of the Web browser, type the new IP address of the printer.
