Use IPv4 or IPv6 addressing
The printer supports internet protocol (IP) addressing using the typical v4 format,
such as 123.123.123.123 (32 bits). It also supports the newer IPv6 standard,
which uses 128 bits. Use the format used by other devices on your network.
•
Use a unique printer name
You can assign a network printer name such as PRINTER01 or PRINTER09. At
the same time that you choose a network printer name, set the Unit No (unit
number) to a corresponding value. For example, if the Unit No is U2, then the
network printer name should be PRINTER02. See
Printer Name, and Connection" on page
If the printer has been used before this installation, make sure the Unit No and
network printer name correspond.

Network settings include how the IP Address is assigned, assigning address values, and
whether to use IP security.
Choosing How to Assign the Network Address
You can use a permanent IP address (called static IP) on any network. A static IP address is
stored in the printer and is entered at the PC. The advantage of using a static IP address is that
the printer address does not change.
To use DHCP, the network connecting the printer and PC must support DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) and DNS (Domain Name System). DHCP uses a printer name that does
not change, such as PRINTER01, combined with an IP address that can change. The DHCP
server keeps track of the network printer name and the current IP address for the printer. The
printer is identified on the PC by its network printer name.
If you use Static IP addressing, ask your network administrator for the values to use.
You can set the IP address using the Printer Select tab of the Status Monitor. See the Status
Monitor in the User Guide to set the network printer name using the Status Monitor.
IP Security Using a Printer Certificate
To use IPSec security using a Printer Certificate, you need to obtain certificates from a
certificate authority for the printer and for each PC that will print to it. The certificates must be

Install the printer, driver, and Status Monitor using a USB connection.
Download files for security.
Remove the USB driver and Status Monitor.
Install the printer as a network printer.
The network administrator for your network can tell you the type of security
your network uses, and can help with obtaining the needed keys or
certificates.
