If you do not know which network the machine is

 

 

 

 

connected to, ask the network administrator.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the IP address selected correctly?

If the machine does not have a permanent IP address

 

 

(Windows)

(the machine receives an IP address from a DHCP

 

 

 

 

server), printing will not be possible if the IP address

 

 

 

 

changes. Print the "All Custom Setting List" in the

 

 

 

 

system settings and check the IP address of the

 

 

 

 

machine. If the IP address has changed, change the

 

 

 

 

port setting in the printer driver.

 

 

 

 

System Settings > "List Print (User)" > "All Custom

 

 

 

Setting List"
