Setting the IP Address

Assigning an IP Address (for IPv4 mode)

NOTE: When you assign an IP address manually in IPv6 mode, use the Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool. To open the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, use the link local address. To check a link local address, see "Printing and Checking the Printer Settings Page" on page 42.
An IP address is a unique number that consists of four sections that are delimited by a period and can include up to three digits in each section, for example, 111.222.33.44.
Assigning an IP address that is already in use can cause network performance issues.
NOTE: Assigning an IP address is considered as an advanced function and is
normally done by a system administrator.
NOTE: Depending on the address class, the range of the IP address assigned may
be different. On Class A, for example, an IP address in the range from 0.0.0.0 to
127.255.255.255 will be assigned. For assignment of IP addresses, contact your system administrator.
You can assign the IP address by using the operator panel or using the tool box.
