    Using the Operation Panel Network (Network settings) This printer supports TCP/IP and TCP/IP (IPv6) protocols. IP is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol. This printer routinely uses the TCP/IP (IPv4) protocol, but provides a separate setting for the next- generation IP, IPv6. TCP/IP (IPv4) uses 32-bit IP addresses, but the rapid growth in the number of Internet users has resulted in a shortage of IP addresses.

DHCP (DHCP setting) DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the protocol that assigns the information required to establish a network connection when a host attempts to connect to the network (Internet).
  • Page 106 Using the Operation Panel network interface). Bit strings (IP addresses) that are unique throughout the entire Internet system are allocated to each computer or interface. The IP addresses currently used on the Internet (IPv4) have a fixed length of 32 bits. Note When you enter the IP address, be sure to set the DHCP setting to Off.
  • Page 107 Using the Operation Panel Gateway (Gateway setting) Gateway generally refers to a protocol conversion device used to allow networks with differing protocol systems to interconnect. For example, a "Gateway" device is required to connect a different closed network (using its own protocols) to the open Internet (using TCP/IP). By installing a gateway, the communications protocols and data display modes on different networks can be made compatible.
  • Page 108 Using the Operation Panel TCP/IP (IPv6) (IPv6 settings) This selects the settings for TCP/IP (IPv6). TCP/IP (IPv6) is based on the current Internet protocol, TCP/IP (IPv4). IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol and expands the available address space, which resolves the problem of the lack of addresses under IPv4, while also introducing other improvements such as additional security functionality and the capacity to prioritize data transmission.
