then press Select.
7 Press the Menu button to select No, and then press Select. The word SAVED will
briefly display.
8 Repeat steps 6 & 7 to select No for the items ENABLE DHCP and ENABLE RARP. 9 Under TCP/IP, press the Menu button until you see the item Set IP Address,
and then press Select.
10 The number in the 1st Octet is flashing. Using the Menu button, cycle the 1st Octet
of the IP Address to the number desired, and then press Select.
11 The number in the 2nd Octet is flashing. Using the Menu button, cycle the 2nd Octet
to the number desired, and then press Select.
12 The number in the 3rd Octet is flashing. Using the Menu button, cycle the 3rd Octet
to the number desired, and then press Select.
13 The number in the 4th Octet is flashing. Using the Menu button, cycle the 4th Octet
to the number desired, and then press Select. The word SAVED will briefly display.
14 Under TCP/IP, press the Menu button until you see the item Set IP Netmask,
and then press Select.
15 Repeat steps 10 through 13 to set each Octet for Netmask. 16 Under TCP/IP, press the Menu button until you see the item Set IP Gateway,
and then press Select.
24 Set up for network printing
17 Repeat steps 10 through 13 to set each Octet for Gateway.
A Static IP Address has been assigned to the printer. You can verify the settings by opening a web browser on any computer on the same network and entering the IP address into the Address line of the browser. Example: http://192.168.1.108. If the IPS address was setup correctly, the browser should display a Web page provided by the Dell Laser Printer M5200 printer.
