Assign the IP Address Manually

You can use the printer control panel to assign a static IP address to your printer. After you assign an IP address, you can change it in the Embedded Web Server.

To assign a static IP address to the printer, ensure that you have the following information:

• An IP address that is configured properly for your network

• The Network Mask address

• The default router or gateway address

If your printer is on a network managed by a network administrator, contact your network administrator to obtain the network information.

For a home network using routers or other devices to connect the printer to the network, refer to the device instructions on assigning network addresses. The router or device documentation can give you a range of acceptable address numbers you can use. It is important that the addresses are similar, but not the same as, the IP addresses used by other printers and computers on the network. Only the last digit of the IP address must be different. For example, your printer can have the IPv4 address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the IP address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the IP address 192.168.1.4.

The router can assign the static IP address of the printer to another computer that obtains its IP address dynamically. To avoid having the IP address reassigned, provide the printer an address at the higher end of the range allowed by the device. For example, if your computer has the IP address 192.168.1.2, and your device allows IP addresses to 192.168.1.255, select an address between 192.168.1.200 and 192.168.1.254. If your computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.100 or higher, select an address between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.50.

Note:

• When you set a static IP address, Xerox recommends that you set a DHCP reservation at the same time. For

• In IPv6 network configurations, the IPv6 address is assigned automatically.

Steps:

1. Log in to the printer's control panel as an administrator. For details, refer to Log in to the Printer as a System Administrator.
   
   Note: Depending on when the device was manufactured or the software version installed, the default administrator password may be the device serial number or 1111.
