CONNECTING THE MACHINE

CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO A NETWORK
Before installing the software, check with the administrator of the machine to make sure that the machine is connected
to the network and network settings such as the IP address have been configured. (The factory default setting for the IP
address is to receive the IP address automatically when the machine is used in a DHCP environment.)
Network settings can be configured using "Network settings" in the administrator settings on the machine.
• If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing will not
be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS server or by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine.
• This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment and in a Macintosh network
environment.
CHECKING THE IP ADDRESS OF THE MACHINE
You can check the IP address of the machine by printing out the "All custom setting list" in the system settings. Follow
these steps to print out the "All custom setting list".
Press the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key, touch the [LIST PRINT] key, and then touch the [ALL CUSTOM SETTING LIST]
key.
CONNECTING THE MACHINE WITH A USB CABLE
(Windows)
The machine can be connected to a computer using a USB cable if the computer is a Windows computer. (The USB
interface on the machine cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.)
The machine and computer should be connected while the printer driver is being installed. If a USB cable is connected
before the printer driver is installed, the printer driver will not be installed correctly. For the procedure for connecting a
USB cable, see "WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE" (page 15).
To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network
connector. (On the MX-M550U/M620U/M700U, the network expansion kit is required.)
Use a shielded LAN cable.
