Control panel setup Disabling the APIPA protocol If the APIPA protocol is enabled, the print server will automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the IP METHOD you have set. 7 By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. You can disable the APIPA protocol using the BRAdmin Profesional utility and a web browser. For more information, see Changing the print server settings on page 2-5. You can also disable the APIPA protocol using the control panel on the top of the printer. Please follow these steps: (For HL-5250DN) For HL-5250DN, the print server is automatically reset back to its default factory settings when you disable the APIPA protocol. 1 Turn off the printer. 2 Make sure that the front cover is closed and power cord is plugged in. 3 Hold down the Go button as you turn on the power switch. Keep the Go button pressed down until the Toner, Drum and Paper LEDs light up. Release the Go button. Make sure that the Toner, Drum and Paper LEDs are off. 4 Press the Go button seven times and then release the Go button. Make sure that all the LEDs light up to indicate the print server has been reset to its default factory settings. (For HL-5270DN) 1 Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in. 2 Turn on the printer and wait until the printer is in the Ready state. 3 Press any of the Menu buttons (+, -, Set or Back) to take the printer off line. 4 Press + or - until NETWORK appears on the LCD display. 5 Press Set to proceed to the next menu level, and then press + or - until APIPA appears. 6 Press Set to proceed to the next menu level, and then press + or - to select OFF.
