Notes
Most common setup
for our printers. Also
useful for trouble-
shooting and isolat-
ing network issues
if printer is normally
used in a network en-
vironment.
Need to obtain IP Ad-
dress, Subnet, and
Gateway values from
customer's IT depart
for both the printer
and PC. Also, you
need to turn off DHCP
on the printer.
