Network Configuration

TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) are a two protocols within the Internet Protocol Suite. IP manages the transmission of messages from computer to computer while TCP manages the actual end-to-end connections.

Note: You can configure IPv4 settings at the printer control panel or through CentreWare IS. You can only configure IPv6 through CentreWare IS.

Enabling TCP/IP

Notes:

By default, TCP/IP is enabled. If you disable TCP/IP, you must enable it at the printer control panel before you can access CentreWare IS.

If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see Accessing CentreWare IS on page 17.

1.At the printer control panel, press the Machine Status button, then touch the Tools tab.

2.Touch Network Settings > TCP/IP Settings.

3.Touch TCPIP Enablement.

4.Touch Enable for IPv4 or IPv6, then touch Save.
