Mac Address

The MAC Address is a unique identifier assigned to the printer. It is used to identify the device on a network and can be found on the printer's label or in the network settings. To locate the MAC address on your printer, follow these steps:

Power on the printer and access the network settings. This can usually be done through the control panel or the printer's web interface.
Look for the MAC address field or label. It may be labeled as Ethernet MAC or Physical Address.
Write down or copy the MAC address, as it may be required when setting up the printer on a network.

The MAC address is formatted as a series of 12 characters, separated by colons (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).

Please make sure to have the MAC address handy when setting up your printer on a network, as it may be required for configuration purposes.
