then finding the TCP/IP section
Notes:
– An IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated
by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
– If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable
it to load the Web page correctly.
2 Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the
address field.
