Connect Tablet/PC (LAN)

Connect the printer and a tablet or PC, and set a static IP address to the printer.

Once a static IP address is assigned, the IP address will not be changed due to the DHCP server, so the specified connection destination device can be used continuously once set.

It is convenient to use the dedicated app when setting a connection with a smartphone or tablet.
For details, refer to Use App.

If you do not use a dedicated app, follow the procedure below to perform setup.

When using a multi-interface

There are some restrictions related to simultaneously connecting multiple devices to a single printer. Make appropriate connections to suit your environment.

When using the printer in an environment without the DHCP server

Using the dedicated app, you can specify the static IP address in an environment without the DHCP server. For details, refer to Use App.

When not using the dedicated app, first specify the IP address from a PC that is connected to the same segment as the printer. Prepare the PC environment (Windows/Mac/Linux) and configure IP address settings according to the corresponding guideline.

Preparation for Connection from Windows

To configure settings, connect the mC-Print3 and the Windows PC or Windows tablet to the same network (same segment).

Execute the steps below after connecting the mC-Print3 to the network and turning the printer on.

Connect LAN Cable

Turn On Power

1. Prepare a Windows device

Click the network icon on the taskbar, and turn Wi-Fi on.

Next step: Check Printer's IP Address

Check Printer's IP Address

Because the IP address of the printer has to be specified from the host device, check the IP address that is currently assigned to the printer.

1. Check the current IP address

Perform Self-Printing of the printer, and check the IP address displayed in "IP Address" of **Current IP Parameters Status**.

Next step: Open Printer's Setting Screen (Web Configuration)

Return to link source

Open Printer's Setting Screen (Web Configuration)

When you access the printer using the IP address you have checked, the setting screen (Web Configuration) of the printer opens.

1. Open the setting screen (Web Configuration) of the printer via the Web browser.

Enter the IP address (example: 192.168.1.113), which you confirmed in the previous section, in the address entry field of the Web browser such as Safari. This accesses the target printer and opens the Web Configuration screen of the printer.

If the Web Configuration does not display correctly

Entering "https://[Printer IP address]" in a web browser may cause the Web Configuration to display incorrectly.

Use "http://[Printer IP address]" when opening the Web Configuration.

2. Log in to Web Configuration

Open [Login] from the menu displayed on the left side of the settings screen or from the menu button displayed on the upper-left side.

Note

The default login name and password are as follows:

Login name	root
password	public

If you want to change the printer settings, the default password has to be changed.

When logging in using the default password, a screen for changing the password opens. After changing the password, proceed to the next step.

Next step: Printer's Static IP Address Setting

Return to link source
