Setting the DHCP Server

DHCP is a protocol to dynamically assign an IP address to each host on a TCP/IP network. Also, a subnet mask can be set.

Note

To print via a network, the printer must have an IP address. For details on how to assign a static IP address, refer to the manual of your DHCP server.
