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.

Follow the procedure below to perform setup.
