Assigning an IP Address

You can select the IP mode from Dual Stack, IPv4, and IPv6. If your network supports both IPv4 and IPv6, select Dual Stack.

Select the IP mode of your environment, and then set IP address, subnet mask (for IPv4 only), and gateway address.

• Assigning an IP address that is already in use can cause network communication issues.

• Assigning an IP address is considered as an advanced function and is normally done by a system

administrator.

• When you assign an IP address manually in IPv6 mode, use the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool. To display the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, use the link-local address. To confirm the

link-local address, print a configuration report and check the IPv6 link-local address. See "Information Pages".

Assigning an IPv4 Address Using the Control Panel

1 Press the button.

2 Tap DeviceJConnectivity.

If the printer is connected to a network with the Ethernet cable:

Tap Ethernet.

If the printer is connected to a wireless network:

Tap Wi-Fi, and then tap the desired network.

You can confirm the settings by using the control panel or printing the configuration report.

Verifying the IPv4 Settings Using Control Panel

1 Press the button.

2 Tap DeviceJAbout.

3 Verify the IP address displayed in IPv4: under Network.

Verifying the IPv4 Settings Using Configuration Report

1 Print the configuration report.

2 Verify the correct IPv4 IP address, subnet mask and gateway address are listed in the

configuration report. If the IP address shows 0.0.0.0 (the factory default), an IP address has not been

assigned. To assign one for your printer, see "Assigning an IPv4 Address Using the Control Panel".
