Press the Menu button on the printer control panel and locate the JETDIRECT menu. Typically, you will select the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu, then the I/O menu, and then the JETDIRECT menu. In the JETDIRECT menu, select the TCP/IP menu, the CONFIG METHOD menu, and then select MANUAL. A MANUAL SETTINGS item is added to the TCP/IP menu. Use the MANUAL SETTINGS menu and your control-panel keys to set the values for IP ADDRESS, SUBNET MASK, DEFAULT GATEWAY, SYSLOG SERVER and IDLE TIMEOUT. ENWW 2
