Setting the 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.
IMPORTANT
When the setup is complete:
  • You must restart the machine to activate these settings.

1. Press [ ] (Menu).

2. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <Network Settings>, and then press [OK].


If a System Manager PIN is specified:
Use the numeric keys to enter the System Manager PIN, and then press [OK].

3. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <TCP/IP Settings>, and then press [OK].

4. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <IPv4 Settings>, and then press [OK].

5. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <IP Address Settings>, and then press [OK].

6. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight 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>.

7. Change the IP address settings.

For <Auto Obtain>:
7-A-1. Change <Auto Obtain> settings.
  • <Select Protocol>
- <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.)
  • <Auto IP>
- <Off>
Set the IP address settings not to obtain the IP address automatically.
- <On>
The machine obtains the IP address automatically.
7-A-2. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <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>.

7-B-1. Enter the IP address.
After it has been entered, press [OK].

7-B-2. Enter the subnet mask.
After it has been entered, press [OK].

7-B-3. Enter the gateway address.
After it has been entered, press [OK].

8. Press [ ] (Menu) to close the Menu screen.

9. Restart the machine.
It is necessary to restart the machine to take effect the settings.
Turn OFF the machine and wait for at least 10 seconds before turning it back ON.

Setting the IPv6 Address

IMPORTANT
IPv6:
  • You cannot only use IPv6 without using IPv4.
  • Encryption by IPsec (Security Architecture for Internet Protocol) is not supported.
Addresses that you cannot enter in [IP Address] and [Default Router Address].
  • Multicast address (address that starts with "ff")
  • Address that consists of all zeros.
NOTE
IPv6 address:
  • This machine can have up to nine of the following IPv6 addresses (only one address can be registered manually). In IPv6 communication, multiple IPv6 addresses can be used at the same time.

Stateless Address:
  • When restarting the machine (when the power is turned on), the stateless address is erased.

Specify the IPv6 settings using the Remote UI after specifying the IPv4 settings.
IMPORTANT
When the setup is complete:
  • You must restart the machine to activate these settings.

1. Start the Remote UI and then log on in system manager mode.
For details on the procedures for starting the Remote UI, see the "e-Manual" (HTML manual) in the CD-ROM supplied with the machine.

2. Click [Menu] -> [Network Settings].

3. Click [Edit] at the right side of [TCP/IP Settings].

4. Select the [Use IPv6] check box.

5. Specify the stateless address.
Clear the [Use Stateless Address] check box when not using the stateless address.

6. When using the manual address, perform the following settings.
When not using the manual address, proceed to step 7.

(1) Select the [Manual Address] check box.
(2) Enter [IP Address].
(3) Enter [Prefix Length].
(4) Enter [Default Router Address] as needed.

7. Set DHCPv6.
When using the stateful address, select the [Use DHCPv6] check box.

8. Click [OK].

9. Restart the machine.
It is necessary to restart the machine to take effect the settings.
Turn OFF the machine and wait for at least 10 seconds before turning it back ON.

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 highlight <Network Information>, and then press [OK].

3. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <IPv4>, and then press [OK].

4. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight the options you want to confirm, and then press [OK].

5. View the information.

6. Press [ ] (Status Monitor/Cancel) to close the screen.


Confirming IPv6 address settings

1. Press [ ] (Status Monitor/Cancel).

2. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <Network Information>, and then press [OK].

3. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <IPv6>, and then press [OK].

4. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight 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.

Make sure that the network settings are correctly specified.

1. Press [ ] (Menu).

2. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <Network Settings>, and then press [OK].


If a System Manager PIN is specified:
Use the numeric keys to enter the System Manager PIN, and then press [OK].

3. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <TCP/IP Settings>, and then press [OK].

4. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <IPv4 Settings>, and then press [OK].

5. Press [ ] or [ ] to highlight <PING Command>, and then press [OK].

6. Enter an arbitrary IPv4 address existing on the network.
After it has been entered, press [OK].

7. 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.

8. Press [ ] (Menu) to close the screen.
