Before entering the IP address for the machine, you must know
the computer’s network configuration information. If the computer’s network configuration is set to DHCP, the wireless network setting should also be DHCP. Likewise, if the computer’s network configuration is set to Static, the wireless network setting should also be Static.
If your computer is set to DHCP and you want to use Static wireless network setting, you must contact the network administrator to get the static IP address.
•For the DHCP method
If the IP address assignment method is DHCP, check if DHCP is shown in the Wireless Network Setting Confirm window. However, if it shows Static, click on Change TCP/IP to change the assignment method to Receive IP address automatically (DHCP).
•For the Static method
If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if Static is shown in the Wireless Network Setting Confirm window. However, if it shows DHCP, click on Change TCP/IP to enter the IP address and other network configuration values for the machine.
For example:
If computer’s network information is as shown below:
Then, the machine’s network information should be as below:
16.The wireless network connects according to the network configuration.
17.When the wireless network setting is completed, disconnect the USB cable between the computer and machine.
18.Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation. After the installation is finished, click on Quit or Restart.
Setting a wireless network with network cable
Your machine is a network compatible machine. To enable your machine to work with your network you will need to perform some configuration procedures.
•After compleleting the wireless network connection, you need to install a machine driver to print from an application (See "Installing network connected machine’s driver" on page 37).
•See your network administrator, or the person that set up your wireless network, for information about your network configuration.
Preparing items
Ensure you have following items ready:
•Access point
•
•Software CD that was provided with your machine
•The machine installed with a wireless network interface
•Network cable
Setting IP address
Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a static IP and is often required in corporate intranets for security reasons.
•DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the report.
•Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address from your computer.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this address for you.
Printing a network configuration report
You can identify the network settings of your machine by printing a network configuration report.
To print the report:
In ready mode, press and hold the Cancel (
) button for about 5 seconds. You can find your machine’s MAC address and IP address.
