Why are static IP address important in devices such as printers?

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?

not necessarily faster, but if you’re relying on dhcp and don’t have a reservation set then you may have to scan the subnet or log in to your router to find out which ip the printer is using after a power outage. a static ip = it’s always at the same ip.
