Setting IPv4 Address
note:
Before changing settings
- Ensure that the machine is connected in network and the power of the machine is turned ON.
When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP
- You can select only one of these protocols: DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.
- When the machine is restarted, the values obtained from DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP will be displayed. (Previously-specified address will be overwritten by the automatically-obtained addresses.)
- Because it takes 2 minutes to check whether DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP are available, it is recommended that you set to <Off> when you do not use them.
When using DHCP
- If you switch OFF then ON the power of the machine, you may not be able to print. This is because a different IP address from the one that has been used is assigned. When using DHCP, consult your network administrator and perform either of the following settings.
- Specifying the DNS Dynamic Update function
- Specifying the settings so that the same IP address is always assigned when the machine starts up
The IP address obtained by DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP
- Even if <Auto IP> is set to <On>, the settings are specified by priority.
By default, the IPv4 address is obtained automatically.
The procedure below describes how to manually specify this IP address.
1. Press [ 
] (Menu).
2. Press [ 
] or [ 
] to select <System Management Settings>, and then press [OK].
When the system manager PIN is specified
Enter the system manager PIN.
When you are finished entering, press [ ] or [ ] to select <Apply>, and then press [OK].
3. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <Network Settings>, and then press [OK].
4. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <TCP/IP Settings>, and then press [OK].
5. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <IPv4 Settings>, and then press [OK].
6. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <IP Address Settings>, and then press [OK].
7. Press [ ] or [ ] to select the method for setting the IP address.
| <Auto Obtain> |
Set the IP address using any of DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, or Auto IP. |
| <Manual Obtain> |
Manually assign an IP address for the machine.
This setting can be specified only when <Select Protocol> and <Auto IP> in <Auto Obtain> are set to <Off>. |
8. Change the IP address settings.
For <Auto Obtain>
8-A-1. Change <Auto Obtain> settings.
- <Off>
Set the IP address settings not to obtain the IP address automatically.
- <DHCP>
Obtains the IP address using DHCP. (The DHCP server needs to be running.)
- <BOOTP>
Obtains the IP address using BOOTP. (The BOOTP daemon needs to be running.)
- <RARP>
Obtains the IP address using RARP. (The RARP daemon needs to be running.)
- <Off>
Set the IP address settings not to obtain the IP address automatically.
- <On>
The machine obtains the IP address automatically.
8-A-2. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <Apply>, and then press [OK].
For <Manual Obtain>
This setting can be specified only when <Select Protocol> and <Auto IP> in <Auto Obtain> are set to <Off>.
8-B-1. Enter the IP address.
When you are finished entering, press [ ] or [ ] to select <Apply>, and then press [OK].
8-B-2. Enter the subnet mask.
When you are finished entering, press [ ] or [ ] to select <Apply>, and then press [OK].
8-B-3. Enter the gateway address.
When you are finished entering, press [ ] or [ ] to select <Apply>, and then press [OK].
9. Press [ ] (Menu) to close the menu screen.
10. Restart the machine.
Turn OFF the machine and wait for at least 10 seconds before turning it ON again.
Confirming IP Address Settings
note:
If the machine is not connected to the network properly
- The IP address will not be displayed.
When the startup time setting is specified
- The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address will be displayed when the specified time has elapsed.
When the machine is connected to a switching hub
- The machine may not be able to connect to a network even though your network settings are appropriate. In this case, the startup time of the machine needs to be set to a waiting state.
Confirming IPv4 address settings
1. Press [ ] (Status Monitor/Cancel).
2. Press [ 
] or [ 
] to select <Network Information>, and then press [OK].
3. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <IPv4>, and then press [OK].
4. Press [ ] or [ ] to select the options you want to confirm, and then press [OK].
5. View the information.
6. Press [ ] (Status Monitor/Cancel) to close the screen.
Checking the Network Connection
important:
If the network startup time setting for the machine is specified
- When you turn on the machine, wait until the time specified in <Startup Settings> has elapsed before executing a ping command.
If the machine is connected to a switching hub
- You may not be able to connect the machine to a network even though your network settings are appropriate. Extending the machine's startup time for the network may solve the problem.
Check the network connection by verifying your settings.
1. Press [ ] (Menu).
2. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <System Management Settings>, and then press [OK].
When the system manager PIN is specified
Enter the system manager PIN.
When you are finished entering, press [ ] or [ ] to select <Apply>, and then press [OK].
3. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <Network Settings>, and then press [OK].
4. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <TCP/IP Settings>, and then press [OK].
5. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <IPv4 Settings>, and then press [OK].
6. Press [ ] or [ ] to select <PING Command>, and then press [OK].
7. Enter an arbitrary IPv4 address existing on the network.
When you are finished entering, press [ ] or [ ] to select <Apply>, and then press [OK].
8. Confirm the response.
If the network connection is confirmed
The message <Received response from host.> will be displayed.
If the network connection is not confirmed
The message <No response from host.> will be displayed. Recheck your network settings.
9. Press [ ] (Menu) to close the menu screen.
