This program will allow you to fix the network parameter automatically. Follow the instruction in the installation window. This

Bonjour program does not support Linux.

Configuring network protocol via the machine

You can set up TCP/IP network parameters, follow the steps listed below.

1.Make sure your machine is connected to the network with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.

2.Make sure you have turned on the machine.

3.Press Menu on the control panel, until you see Network on the bottom line of the display and press OK.

4.Press the left/right arrow until TCP/IP appears and press OK.

5.Press the left/right arrow until Static appears and press OK.

6.Press the left/right arrow until IP Address appears and press OK. Enter a byte between 0 and 255 using the number keypad and press the left/right arrow to move between bytes.

Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the 4th byte.

7.When you have finished, press OK.

Repeat steps 6 and 7 to configure the other TCP/IP parameters: subnet mask and gateway address.

Contact the network administrator if you are not sure how to configure.

You can also set up the network settings through the network administration programs.

SetIP: Utility program allowing you to select a network interface and manually configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol. (See "Using the SetIP program" on page 27.)

Using the SetIP program

This program is for the network IP setting using the MAC address which is the hardware serial number of the network printer card or interface. Especially, it helps the network administrator set several network IPs at the

same time.

• You can only use SetIP program when your machine is connected to a network.

The following procedure is based on windows XP. If you use Macintosh or Linux OS, see Software section
