4. Select a method for acquiring the IP address. When you select Auto, DHCP becomes available
and assigns an IP address automatically. If you want to set the IP address manually, select
Manual.
Note:
❏ The network administrator must check any changes made to the IP address settings.
❏ When Auto is selected, DHCP becomes available. To use the DHCP server, make sure it is
installed on your computer and correctly configured. See your operating system's online help
for detailed instructions.
❏ If Set Using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is enabled, a private IP address is
automatically assigned to the network interface even when there are no DHCP servers on your
system or your network.
❏ If the Dynamic DNS function is not supported, we recommend that you select Manual and then
enter an IP address. This is because if you select Auto, the IP address of the network interface
changes every time you turn on the printer so that you need to change the printer port setting
accordingly.
5. To assign an IP address manually, enter the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway.
Be sure the IP address does not conflict with any other devices on the network.
Note:
If there is a server or a router functioning as a gateway, enter the IP address of the server or the
router for the gateway address. If there is no gateway, leave the default values there.
6. If you want to get a private address between 169.254.1.1 and 169.254.254.254 automatically when
an IP address cannot be obtained by the DHCP server, leave it at Enable for Set Using Automatic
Private IP Addressing (APIPA); otherwise, select Disable.
7. When setting an IP address using the ping command, select Enable for Set Using PING. Select
Disable when setting an IP address with EpsonNet Config; this prevents any unexpected change
of the IP address.
8. Select Enable for Acquire DNS Server Address Automatically if you want to acquire the DNS
server address using the DHCP server.
If you want to enter the DNS server address manually, select Disable and then enter the IP address
of the DNS server.
