Appendix B – WLAN & LAN Setup

The printer will now search for a server. Allow up to 90 seconds

for the printer to retrieve an IP address.

At this point it is recommended to print a Network Report. This

Network Report is generated by the printer and lists important

default information such as the IP and MAC Addresses as well as

SSID for wireless equipped cards. To print the ‘Network Report’:

Press the

button

to highlight the ‘TEST’ menu branch and

then press the

button.

Using the button, scroll to Network Report, and then press
the

button.

When prompted choose either “View” (to view the information

on the display) or “Print” (to print the information).

Once the previous steps have been successfully completed you

may now use the IP Address to install a printer driver, and start

printing from your Windows applications. See section B.3,

Installing the Printer Driver.

The information on this label will vary depending
on your configuration and firmware version.

B.2.1 Wireless Setup – Ad-Hoc

After a successful setup is made via a wired connection, the Wireless connection (if equipped) can now be

configured in ad-hoc mode using a static IP address. To configure the wireless card in Ad-hoc mode, you must

configure your host computer to match the IP settings of the printer. Refer to your operating system’s or your

wireless network card documentation for information on how to configure your computer.

Address of the printer. The Default IP is:

192.168.10.26.

assigned to the printer, make sure to

enter the correct IP address.

following items:
