Manually Setting The Printer's Ip Address - Xerox Phaser 7500DN User Manual

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.
To use an IP host name for the printer, the system administrator must configure one or more DNS
servers and a local DNS domain name space database. To set up the printer for DNS, supply a
maximum of two DNS name server IP addresses.
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)
The printer supports Dynamic DNS through DHCP. You must have DHCP enabled on the printer for
DDNS to function. Your network's DHCP server must also support Dynamic DNS updates through
option 12 or option 81 support. See your network administrator for details.
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in the browser's Address field.

Manually Setting the Printer's IP Address

Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network. Contact
your network administrator for more information.
If you are on a network without a DHCP server, or in an environment where the network administrator
assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP address. Manually setting
the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are in a small office with a single PC
and use a dialup modem connection, you can manually set the IP address.
