Connecting the Machine

IP address

The machine requires an IP address to communicate on the Internet.

If your network is set up to automatically assign IP addresses, you do not need to do anything; the machine will automatically receive an IP address when it is connected.

Automatic assignment of IP addresses is normally performed by a DHCP server, which may be a computer, router, or other device on the network. (Most routers used on home networks contain a DHCP server.)

If your network requires that a static (permanent) IP address be assigned to the machine, see Network Settings on page 25 to enter the IP address and related information.

Checking your IP address and the connection

To check the machine’s IP address and verify that the machine is able to communicate on the network, follow these steps.

If the machine has automatically received an IP address and is able to communicate, [IP ADDRESS/ DHCP: ON] will appear on the top line of the display, followed by the IP address on the bottom line. To show the machine’s host name, press

.

If a static IP address has been entered in the machine and the machine is able to communicate, [IP ADDRESS/DHCP: OFF] will appear on the top line of the display, followed by the IP address on the bottom line. To show the machine’s

host name, press .

If the machine was unable to receive an IP address automatically, or if the router locked up after the machine received an IP address, [IP ADDRESS/DHCP: FAIL] / [192.168. 1 .201] will appear. “192.168. 1 .201“ is an IP address that is assigned to the machine for diagnostic purposes when connection fails (it cannot be used for regular communication).

If a cable has not been connected, [CHECK CABLE] will appear.

If [NOW CONNECTING / CHECK
