### Change TCP/IP Settings

You may specify new TCP/IP settings (IPv4) for this printer. You should consult with your Network Administrator before changing any settings.

Note: The installation utility will detect your system settings and will provide recommended TCP/IP settings (both IPv4 and IPv6), but you can modify the IPv4 settings if desired (this utility can only be used to manually configure IPv4 settings). Parameter values that you assign are not configured on the printer until you have finished the installation.

· If the printer does not have valid TCP/IP settings:
Enter a valid IP address (IPv4) for the printer, a valid subnet mask, and a valid IP address for the gateway into the fields provided. You should consult with your Network Administrator before assigning values.

Click Suggest Settings to have TCP/IP parameters automatically entered by the installation utility.

Use the default port name checkbox (Windows NT, 2000 and XP). Check this box to use the default port settings for your printer. If this box is not checked, the Port Name dialog will be the next wizard screen.

CAUTION: If your printer will be connected to other networks, TCP/IP settings suggested by the utility might not be globally unique and may conflict with other devices. Use caution when connecting to other TCP/IP networks.

· If the printer already has valid TCP/IP settings:
The current TCP/IP settings will be displayed.

CAUTION: Changing valid TCP/IP settings can prevent access by other users. Consult with your Network Administrator before changing valid settings.

Note: If TCP/IP parameters are password protected by management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin, the entry fields will be grayed out.

Use default port name checkbox (Windows NT, 2000 and XP only). Check this box to use the default port settings for your printer. If this box is not checked, the Port Name dialog will be the next wizard screen.
