• To determine the IP address of your printer, do one of the following:

  • Obtain a Configuration Report.

  • At the control panel, press the Machine Status button.

The default administrator password is the device serial number. You can obtain the serial number from the back of the printer, from the configuration report, or from the home page of the Embedded Web Server. You can get the serial number from the control panel touch screen. At the control panel, press the Machine Status button, then on the touch screen, select Device Information. The serial number is in the General Information area of the touch screen. The password is case-sensitive.

Note:The default administrator user name is admin. When the administrator password is set to the device serial number, administrator functions are not accessible. If the administrator password is set to the device serial number, at the next administrator login attempt, you are prompted to change the default administrator password. After you change the default administrator password, you have full access to administrator privileges.
