Finding the IP Address of Your Printer
To install the print driver for a network-connected printer, it is often necessary to know the IP address
of your printer. Also, the IP address is used to access the settings of your printer through the
Embedded Web Server. You can view the IP address of your printer on the control panel or on the
Configuration Report.
Note: To view the TCP/IP address on the control panel, wait until the printer has been on for 2
minutes. If the TCP/IP address is 0.0.0.0, or begins with 169, it indicates a network connectivity
issue. However, if Wi-Fi is set as the primary Ethernet connection, 0.0.0.0 is displayed as the IP
address for the printer.
Viewing the IP Printer Address on the Control Panel
To view the IP address of the printer on the control panel:
1. At the printer control panel, press the Home button.
2. Touch Device > About.
3. Record the IP address from the display.
4. To return to the Home screen, press the Home button.
Obtaining the Printer IP Address from the Configuration Report
To obtain the printer IP address from the Configuration Report:
1. At the printer control panel, press the Home button.
2. Touch Device > About > Information Pages.
3. Touch Configuration Report.
The IP address appears in the Connectivity section of the Configuration Report for IPv4 or IPv6.
4. To return to the Home screen, press the Home button.
Certificates for the Embedded Web Server
Your device includes a self-signed HTTPS certificate. The device generates the certificate
automatically during device installation. The HTTPS certificate is used to encrypt communications
between your computer and the Xerox device.
• The Embedded Web Server page for your Xerox device can display an error message that the
security certificate is not trusted. This configuration does not lessen the security of the
communications between your computer and the Xerox device.
• To eliminate the connection warning in your Web browser, you can replace the self-signed
certificate with a signed certificate from a Certificate Authority. For information on obtaining a
certificate from a Certificate Authority, contact your Internet Service Provider.
For information on obtaining, installing, and enabling certificates, refer to the System Administrator
Guide at www.xerox.com/office/VLC71XXdocs.
