Connect Tablet/PC (LAN)

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

Once a static IP address is assigned, the IP address will not be changed by the DHCP server, so the specified printer can be used continuously.

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

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 a 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.
