In this case, you must set the printer's IP address manually, in the following way. 1. From the front panel, press , then Setup > Network connectivity > Gigabit Ethernet > Modify configuration > TCP/ IP > IPV4 settings > Config method > Manual. 2. From the IPV4 Settings menu, select Manual settings > IP address. 3. Enter the IP address that you wish to use, and press OK when finished.

The information should read: IP enabled: Yes. If it does not, you might need to use a different connection. If you still cannot access the Embedded Web Server, turn the printer off with the power button on the front panel and then turn it on again. If you experience very slow progress while trying to access the Embedded Web Server, the problem could be that you are using a proxy server. Try bypassing the proxy server and accessing the Embedded Web Server directly. ● In Internet Explorer 6 for Windows, go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, and select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box. Alternatively, for more precise control, click the Advanced button and add the printer's IP address to the list of exceptions, for which the proxy server is not used. ● In Firefox 3.0 for Windows, go to Tools > Options > Network > Connection > Settings, and select the Direct connection to the Internet check box. Alternatively, when the Manual proxy configuration check box is selected, add the printer's IP address to the list of exceptions, for which the proxy server is not used. ● In Firefox 2.0 for Linux, go to Edit > Preferences > Network > Connection > Settings, and select the Direct connection to the Internet check box. Alternatively, when the Manual proxy configuration check box is selected, add the printer's IP address to the list of exceptions, for which the proxy server is not used. Printer is not printing If a file you have sent from your computer is not printing when expected, the possible reasons include the following: ● There may be a problem with the electrical power. If the printer is not performing and the front panel does not respond, check that the power switch at the rear is on, the power cable is correctly connected, and the electrical socket is providing power. ● The network cable is disconnected, or you have problems with your communications setup. See Communication failures between computer and printer on page 179, or contact your IT department or communications system provider. ● Check all the alerts on the front panel-there may be more than one, hidden under the first-by dragging down the top bar of the home screen.

Printer is not printing
If a file you have sent from your computer is not printing when expected, the possible reasons include the
following:
There may be a problem with the electrical power. If the printer is not performing and the front panel does
not respond, check that the power switch at the rear is on, the power cable is correctly connected, and the
electrical socket is providing power.
The network cable is disconnected, or you have problems with your communications setup. See
