Step 1: Connect Your Printer to the Network
Ensure your Epson M1170 is powered on and connected to your network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
For Wi-Fi connections, use the printer’s control panel to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
Step 2: Access the Printer’s Configuration Page
Open your web browser on a device connected to the same network.
Enter the printer’s current IP address into the browser’s address bar. If you don’t know the IP address, print a network status sheet from the printer’s settings menu.
Step 3: Login to the Printer’s Admin Interface
Enter the default username and password. If you haven’t changed these, they can be found in the printer’s manual.
Step 4: Navigate to the Network Settings
Once logged in, locate the “Network Settings” or “TCP/IP Settings” menu.
Click on the option to configure or change the IP address.
Step 5: Assign a Static IP Address
Select the option to set a static IP address.
Enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Make sure the IP address is within the range of your network and not currently in use by another device.
Save the changes.
Step 6: Restart the Printer
After saving the changes, restart your Epson M1170 printer to apply the new IP address.
You can do this by turning off the printer and then turning it back on.
Step 7: Verify the IP Address
Print a network status sheet again to confirm the new IP address is correctly assigned.
Check that the IP address matches the one you set.
Step 8: Update Printer Drivers and Software
On your computer or mobile device, ensure that the printer drivers and software are updated to recognize the new IP address.
If necessary, download the latest drivers from Epson’s official website.
Step 9: Test the Connection
Try printing a test page from your computer or mobile device to ensure the printer is properly connected and functioning on the network.
If the test page prints successfully, your IP address assignment is complete.

Avoid conflicts: Make sure the IP address is not already in use by another device.
Correct subnet mask and gateway: Use the correct subnet mask and gateway to ensure network compatibility.
Consult the manual: If you encounter issues, refer to the printer’s manual or Epson’s support resources for additional guidance.
