Protocol Settings

You can specify the machine’s protocol settings on your computer using software. The following software programs can be used to specify the network protocol settings for your machine.

•NetSpot (Canon software provided with the optional Network Kit III)

•Remote UI

•An FTP client

IMPORTANT

•Before you enter the IP address of your machine, contact your Network Administrator to allocate your IP address. Enter the correct IP address to avoid network problems.

•In order to connect to a NetWare network, install the printer driver, or set up the printer’s location, the machine’s MAC address is necessary. To check the MAC address from the printer’s operation panel, follow the procedure below to make a test print.

1.Press [PRT.Message] ➞ [Go] on the operation panel to take the printer offline.

2.Press [Menu] until <TEST MENU> appears.

3.Press [Item] until <PRINT EN CONFIG> appears ➞ press [Enter/Cancel].

•Before you perform the following operations in the next section, make sure that the machine is connected to a power source, and connected to the network.

NOTE

If you change the IP address from the Remote UI, the change will not be reflected on the display of the machine. You can confirm the change of the IP address by selecting <VIEW IP ADDRESS> from the NETWORK SETTINGS menu, or by printing the User’s Data List.

Using NetSpot

Instead of using the operation panel of your machine, you can install NetSpot from the CD-ROM provided with the optional Network Kit III, and use it to specify the protocol settings on the computer you are using.

For instructions on how to install NetSpot and how to specify the protocol settings using NetSpot, see the NetSpot Quick Start Guide.

NOTE

The NetSpot Quick Start Guide is an online manual included on the accompanying CD-ROM provided with the optional Network Kit III. You can use Adobe Acrobat Reader to display and printout the guide for your convenience.
