Specifying an IP Address for IPv6 (No DHCP)

Use the following procedure to assign a specific IP address to the printer with IPv6 protocol. This procedure is only necessary if you want to use the printer on a network without DHCP, or want to prevent the printer's IP address from changing.

Before beginning this procedure, make sure you have the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address that the printer will use.
