Setting from BOOTP

BOOTP is a protocol for assigning IP addresses which have been
registered on a BOOTP server to each host on the TCP/IP network.
The printer will acquire an IP adddress when it is turned on.

This function is not available unless there is a BOOTP

server on the network.

[DHCP/BOOTP protocol] on the Fast EtherNet needs

to be set to [ENABLE]. If it is set to [DISABLE], change
the setting to [ENABLE], referring to Printer
Preparation.

The following description uses the HP-UX 9.x BOOTP server as
an example. If you use any other OS, make the same settings
according to the manual for your workstation.
