IP address automatically setting itself to 0.0.0.0 when disconnected from the network
IP Address Will Automatically be set to 0.0.0.0 When Disconnected From the Network.
Issue description
When a user disconnects a Lexmark device running firmware version
XXXXX.05x.yy
or later from the network, the IP address will automatically be set to
0.0.0.0
. This also occurs even if the device has a static IP already saved in the device.
Solution
To acquire the printer IP address, reconnect the printer to the network. When the network connection is re-established the printer will automatically acquire an IP address. For a static IP connection, the printer recalls the last IP address that was set and restore it once the connection is established.
This is applicable for both a wired and wireless connection;
For printers connected via Ethernet cable
, reattach the cable to the printer.
For printers connected wirelessly
, make sure that the wireless
router
/
switch
/
access point
is powered
ON
and the wireless printer is configured to connect to the wireless network.
