Connect Tablet/PC (LAN)

Connect the printer and a tablet or PC, and set a static IP address to the printer.

Once a static IP address is assigned, the IP address will not be changed due to the DHCP server, so the specified connection destination device can be used continuously once set.

It is convenient to use the dedicated app when setting a connection with a tablet or PC.
For details, refer to Use App.

When using Multi-interface

There are some restrictions related to connecting multiple devices to a single printer. Make appropriate connections to suit your environment.

Precautions for Using Multi-interface

When using the printer in an environment without the DHCP server

You can specify the static IP address in an environment without a DHCP server by using the dedicated app. For details, refer to Use App.

Go to next step: Check Printer IP Address


Check printer IP address

Because the IP address is specified from the host device when connecting to the printer, check the IP address that is currently assigned to the printer.

1. Check the current IP address

  • Perform Self-Printing of the printer, and check the IP address displayed in "IP Address" of **Current IP Parameters Status**.

Proceed to the next step: Open Printer's Setting Screen (Web Configuration)

Return to link source     

Open printer's setting screen (Web Configuration)

Use the checked IP address to connect to the printer. The printer setup screen (Web Configuration) will open.

1. Open the setting screen (Web Configuration) of the printer via the Web browser

  • Enter the IP address checked on the previous section (example: 172.16.212.143) into the address input field of Safari or another Web browser. The printer is connected and the printer settings screen (Web Configuration) opens.

If Web Configuration is not displayed correctly

If “https://[Printer IP address]” was specified when the printer IP address was input into the web browser, Web Configuration may not be displayed correctly.

When opening Web Configuration, use “http:// [Printer IP address]”.

2. Log in to Web Configuration

  • Open [Login] from the menu displayed on the left side of the settings screen or from the menu button displayed on the upper-left side.




  • Login name: root / Password: Log in using [the changed password or default password (public)].

Note

  • The default login name and password are as follows:
    Login nameroot
    Passwordpublic
  • If you want to change the printer settings, the default password has to be changed.
    • When logging in using the default password, a screen for changing the password opens. After changing the password, proceed to the next step.

    Proceed to the next step: Printer's Static IP Address Setting

    Return to link source     

    Printer's static IP address setting

    Specify the static IP address of the printer from WebConfiguration you logged in to.

    1. Specify static IP address

    • From the menu or the menu button in the upper left, open "IP Parameters" , select "Static ", enter IP Address, Subnet Mask , and tap "Submit" .

    Note

    • Ask your network administrator about the static IP address and subnet mask to use in the settings.
