Setting the printer's IP addressing parameters

General information on setting IP parameters from the front panel

On many printers, you can set IP address, network mask, gateway address, and broadcast address from the front panel. See the following topics for procedures for each of the following printers:

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.

1st octet of IP address Example
IP address Printer's default network mask Printer's default broadcast address

1 - 127

118.101.14.101

255.0.0.0

118.255.255.255

128 - 191

134.101.14.101

255.255.0.0

134.101.255.255

192 - 223

192.101.14.101

255.255.255.0

192.101.14.255

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 on the front panel display, the front panel may be locked. For information on how to unlock it, see If the front panel is locked.
