4. Obtaining the IP Address
Printer can obtain the IP addresses from the following modes:
A. Using router or similar device to assign the IP address to the printer
1. Connect both PC and printer using the internet cable to the Router LAN port.
2. Get the related information from the PC Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties.
(Note: If the PC is assigned with a static IP address, please keep a record of the current static IP
related information, in case that you may need the information to restore its original setting)

Ethernet Printer Technical Manual November 10, 2010
14
3. Search the IP address of the Router assigned to the printer. The following is an example of using
the 3COM WL-602 Router. Launch the web browser and enter the default IP address to open the
Router homepage (For example: The default IP address of the 3COM WL-602 Router is
http://192.168.1.1)
When the printer is turned on, READY LED will blink. Wait for about 20 seconds for the system to get
ready.
4. Enter the user name and password (the default settings are “Admin”).
5. Click Log in to enter the main menu. Then click LAN setting to enter the system status menu.
6. Click DHCP Clients List to view the printer IP addresses which are assigned to the PC.
Note: When the printer obtains the assigned IP address, it is recommended to retain that IP

15
address; otherwise this will delay the time for the printer to get ready.
B. Using the Ethernet card static IP address
Connect the printer and the PC using the cable. Turn on the printer and wait for about 1 minute. The
printer will automatically get the default IP addresses (192.168.1.100). The default IP address can be
modified, make sure that it connects correctly: the first 3 sections of the PC IP address should be the
