Hi! I’m studying and it says that it’s better to have a static IP address for a printer when a power outage occurs since the printer can come back up faster with static ip then a dynamic.
Why is static better?
In: Technology
Sometimes the connection to your printer from your computer is IP based which means your computer will search for the IP that you initially set it up with. If the IP of the printer isn’t static, that IP address can change and your computer won’t know the new IP meaning you won’t be able to print.
Like sending mail to your friend. They always have the same address so you know where to send the mail. If they’re constantly moving, it’s a lot harder to make sure you have the new address and are able to send to the right place. Static is a permanent address essentially.
