IP
Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol within the Internet Protocol Suite that manages the transmission
of messages from computer to computer.

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 details, refer to your router documentation.
• In IPv6 network configurations, the IPv6 address is assigned automatically.
