Mail Server and DNS Server Settings

Mail Server and DNS Server Settings

Settings for your E-mail server and DNS server must be configured in order to use the network scanner function. To configure the settings, access the machine's Web page from a computer that is connected to the same network as the machine. The Web page can be displayed with your Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later).

Accessing the Web page in the machine

To access the Web page in the machine, type in the IP address of the machine in your browser in the format http://XXX.XXX.X.X, where the X’s are the IP address (the number of digits between periods will vary depending on the address). If you need to check the IP address of the machine, print out the network settings as explained on page 79.

Mail server and DNS server

To configure your mail server and DNS server settings, click E-mail & DNS Setup in the menu at the left of the Web page. Enter the IP address or host name of your e-mail server in E-mail Server, the e-mail address of your network administrator in System Administrator Address, the IP address of your DNS server in DNS Server, and your domain name in Domain Name. Select your time zone from the list in Time Zone. Note that the IP address of your DNS server must be entered if you enter a host name instead of an IP address in E-mail Server. This is also true if host names will be used for Scan to FTP or Scan to Desktop destinations.

If “DHCP” was selected for the IP address of the machine, the IP address of the DNS server appears automatically and cannot be changed.
