Network printers can be:
– Ethernet: you can connect an Ethernet cable (RJ45) from the Ethernet port on the rear of the printer to to an available port on your router (or Internet box).
– or Wifi.

Any device connected to your network could print on your network printer.
Your printer must take a valid IP address on your network.

1/ Find your printer IP address

First, print a ticket with your device network settings to get your printer's IP address.
Refer to your printer's manual to print this status ticket.

On the ticket, locate the line labeled IP address, which should follow the format W.X.Y.Z and align with your network's addressing scheme.
For example, if your router assigns addresses starting with 192.168.1.XX, then the printer's IP address should also begin with 192.168.1.YY
Using your browser, you should be able to access the printer’s interface by entering the IP address in the URL bar.

The printer’s IP address can also be found in the administration interface of your router (or internet box) by checking the list of connected devices.

2/ Configure your printer IP address

If your printer is not getting a valid IP address, you can use your printer software (available on the manufacturer website) to setup your printer on your network.
As these programs are only working on Windows (sometimes Mac), you could need temporarily a Windows device to setup your printer on your network.

The utility will scan your network to find your printer and access its settings.
It is recommended that you allow your printer to be automatically assigned a valid IP address from your router (automatic DHCP), to be sure that your printer IP address will be in the range of your network.
You could then print a ticket with your network settings to get your printer IP address.

It is recommended to set a static IP address for your printer on your router (in the DHCP settings), in order that your printer always keeps the same address even when you restart your router.
You may have to enter the MAC address of your printer. You will find it also on the printer network settings ticket.

Now that your printer has a valid IP address, you can continue to setup your printer for your operating system in the 'Settings/Printing/Printing tests' section of your account.
