Finding the Print Server in the Network
Once the print server is connected to the network, it checks whether an IP
address can be obtained from the boot protocols BOOTP or DHCP. If this is not
the case, the print server assigns itself an IP address via Zeroconf from the
address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for Zeroconf.
The 'Smart Product Manager' is a software tool for the administration and
management of network devices. With this software, you can determine the IP
address of the print server as described below and, if required, save a freely
definable IP address in the print server.

in the Online Help. To start the online help, go to the menu bar and select
Help – Online Help.
Finding the Print Server (Determining the IP Address)
All print server found in the network are displayed in the device list.
If the print server has received an IP address via the boot protocols BOOTP or
DHCP, you can identify it with the help of it's type designation. If you are using
several print servers of the same type, identify the print server using it's
hardware address. You can find it on the status page. To print a status page,
press the button on the print server for a short time. You can change the IP
address using the print server homepage; see: ’Changing the IP address’
13.
If the print server has assigned itself an IP address via Zeroconf from the
address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for Zeroconf, assign a new IP
address to the print server; see: ’Changing the Zeroconf IP address’ 14.
Changing the IP address
