Printer defaults for network mask and broadcast address
When you set the IP address from the front panel, the printer supplies default values for network mask and broadcast address. These default values are calculated according the first octet of the IP address you set. The following table provides some examples.

When you are setting the IP addressing parameters from the front panel, you can accept these default values or change them. However, if you return to the front panel later to change the IP address, the network mask and broadcast address are reset to these default values, and you will have to set them as well if you want values different than these defaults.
NOTE
If you are attempting to perform any front panel procedure and you don't see the expected menu choices, the front panel may be locked. For information on how to unlock it, see
