Setting The Ip Address; Tcp/Ip And Ip Addresses - Epson AcuLaser C2900N User Manual

Network Connection
To connect the printer to a network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable.
To connect the printer to the network, connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on
the rear of the printer, and the other end to a LAN drop or hub.

Setting the IP Address

TCP/IP and IP Addresses

If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/
IP addresses and additional system settings information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your
computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer's IP address.
Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is important that
the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. For example, your
printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another
device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
