Changing or Modifying the IP Address Using CentreWare Internet Services (IS)
CentreWare IS is a printer administration and support tool using web technology. With
CentreWare IS software, you can access printer status and manage your printer over a TCP/IP
network using a web browser. For more information, go to
Documentation CD-ROM.
After setting the printer's IP address, you can modify the TCP/IP using CentreWare IS.
1.
Launch your web browser.
2. Enter your printer's IP address in the browser's Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
3.
Click Properties on the left side of the printer's main CentreWare IS page.
4.
Open the Protocols folder, then click TCP/IP.
5. Enter or modify your printer's settings, then click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
Using Host Names with the Domain Name Service (DNS)
The printer supports DNS through an embedded DNS resolver. The DNS resolver protocol
communicates with one or more DNS servers to resolve the IP address for a given host name
or the host name for a given IP address.
Comments
Format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx represents
a decimal number from 0–255.
If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer
chooses an appropriate mask.
If you want to communicate with the printer from
anywhere other than the local network segment,
you need the router address.
