If you choose to use a static IP address, you must fully understand how to configure your IP address. You need to know how your router assigns IP addresses before you decide to choose a static IP address. Make sure the static IP address assigned to the printer is within the subnet range of the wireless access point. Example: If your access point IP address is 192.168.2.1, the printer static IP address should be something like 192.168.2.###.
When you enter the static IP address on the control panel, make sure that each part of the number is entered in the correct decimal position. The entry screen has 3 positions for the address number. There is a column for 1's, 10's, and 100's - 000.000.000.000. The static IP address must be entered in the correct sequence for the setup process to connect correctly to the access point.
Example: To enter a value of 1 in the static IP address 198.123.1.100, you must enter 198.123.001.100.
The 1 is represented as:
[0][0][1] (correct), not [1][0][0] (incorrect)
The static IP address assigned to your wireless printer must not conflict with another client on your network. Your wireless printer must have a unique IP address. Most routers assign IP addresses in specific ranges (such as 100 through 200). The last digit of your wireless printer's four-part static IP address must be outside the DHCP automatically assigned addresses.
