To correctly function on an Ethernet network using TCP/IP protocols, the
printer must have the correct IP address. The IP address is assigned by the local
system administrator. Additionally, the printer's IP address must be set and
TCP/IP enabled to access the printer through a Web browser. With the printer's

network for software authorization to enable PCL or UNIX-host TCP/IP
printing.

the printer. Use button 2 to increment a digit and button 3 to shift to
the next digit.
