How do I disable the APIPA protocol?

If the APIPA protocol is enabled, the print server will automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the BOOT METHOD you have set.

By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. You can disable the APIPA protocol using the BRAdmin Light utility or Web Based Management (web browser).

You can also disable the APIPA protocol using the control panel on the top of the printer. Please follow the steps below:


  1. Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in.
  2. Turn on the printer and wait until the printer is in the Ready state.
  3. Press any of the Menu buttons (+, -, OK or Back) to take the printer off line.
  4. Press + or - until "LAN" appears on the LCD display.
  5. Press OK to proceed to the next menu level, and then press + or - until "TCP/IP" appears.
  6. Press OK to proceed to the next menu level, and then press + or - until "APIPA" appears.
  7. Press OK to proceed to the next menu level, and then press + or - to select Off. The APIPA protocol has been set to be disabled.
