Wireless network setup 44
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 computer is set to DHCP and you want to use the
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 i s sho wn 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 as shown follows:
- IP address: 169.254.133.42
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Then, the machine’s network information should be as
below:
- IP address: 169.254.133.43
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet
mask.)
- Gateway: 169.254.133.1

disconnect the USB cable between the computer and
machine. Click Next.
If the Change PC Network Setting window appears, follow
the steps in the window.

network settings.
If you set the computer’s wireless network on DHCP, it will
take several minutes to receive the IP address.
