How to Check Your Computer's IP Address
An IP address is a standardized format used by the IP protocol to assign logical addresses to devices on a network. It helps hide the differences in physical addresses, making it easier for devices to communicate over the internet.
If you want to connect an OCOM network port printer to your LAN and print from your computer, it's essential that both the computer and the printer are on the same network segment. For example, if your computer has an IP address of 192.168.0.5, but the printer is at 192.168.1.100, they are not in the same network. In this case, you need to adjust the printer’s IP address so that it matches your computer’s network. However, before changing the printer’s settings, you might first need to change your computer’s IP address to ensure both devices are on the same subnet. This way, the printer can receive the print commands properly.
To check the printer’s IP address, you can usually print its self-test page. This page typically displays the current IP configuration of the device.
Now, let's go over how to check your computer's IP address. Start by opening the Control Panel and navigating to the "Network and Sharing Center." From there, click on "Change adapter settings" and select your active network connection. Right-click on it and choose "Properties," then double-click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" to view or modify your IP address.
By following these steps, you can easily check and adjust your computer's IP address to ensure smooth communication with network devices like printers. Always make sure that all devices on your network share the same subnet to avoid connectivity issues.
