2. Using a Network-Connected Machine
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 c omput er is s et to D HCP an d you w ant to use St atic w irele ss net work
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. If it shows Static, click
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. If it shows DHCP, click
Change TCP/IP to enter the IP address and other network configuration
values for the machine.
For example,
If the computer’s network information is shown as follows:
- IP address: 169.254.133.42
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Then, the machine’s network information should be as shown below:
- IP address: 169.254.133.43
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.)
- Gateway: 169.254.133.1
13 When the window that tells you that the network cable connection is
confirmed appears, disconnect the network cable and click Next.
If the network cable is connected, it may have trouble finding the
machine when configuring the wireless network.
14 The wireless network connects according to the network configuration.
15 Wireless network set up is completed. After installation is finished, click
Quit.
After completing the wireless network connection, you need to install a
machine driver to print from an application (see "Installation for Mac" on
page 146).
