If you want to set up DHCP network protocol, go to http:// developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour/download/, select the Bonjour program that is appropriate for your computer operating system and install the program. This program will allow you to set network parameters automatically. Follow the instructions in the installation window. This 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
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.

You can also set up the network settings through the network administration programs.
•SyncThru™ Web Admin Service:
•SyncThru™ Web Service: Web server embedded on your network print server, which allows you to:
-Configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to connect to various network environments.
-Customize machine settings.
•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 SetIP program" on page 25.
