❏ IP Address: A unique identifier for each device on a TCP/IP network.
❏ Subnet Mask: A filter used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to.
❏ Gateway: A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network.
Since the IP address for each PC and machine on your network must be unique, you usually need to
modify this preset address so it doesn’t conflict with any other IP address or your network or any
attached network. You can do this in one of two ways. Each is explained in detail in the following
sections.
❏ Using DHCP
❏ Setting the address manually
Using DHCP
If your network supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the machine’s IP address
will be automatically assigned by the DHCP server when you turn on the machine. (Refer to “Network
Printing” on page 61 for a description of DHCP.)
Note:
If the IP address of the machine is not set automatically, check if the machine has been set to allow DHCP
to be used (REPORT/STATUS - REPORT - CONFIGURATION PAGE). If the machine has been set so that
DHCP cannot be used, select ENABLE in the UTILITY - ADMIN. MANAGEMENT - NETWORK SETTING -
DHCP
menu.
1. Connect your machine to the network.
When using an Ethernet cable, plug the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet interface port of the
machine.
2. Turn on your PC and machine.
3. After the machine’s message window is initialized, install the printer driver.
Setting the Address Manually
You may also manually change the machine’s IP address, subnet mask, and gateway by using the
following instructions. (See chapter 4 “Understanding the Network Setting Menu” on page 52 for
more information.)
Note:
When the IP address is changed, add a new port or reinstall the printer driver.
