Specifying Protocol Settings

Preparation for Protocol Settings

Before you specify the machine's protocol settings, it is necessary to specify the IP
address of the machine to enable communication between the machine and your
computers. You can use any of the following to specify the settings. Specify the
settings using one of the following methods:
•
The machine's operation panel (Data Registration menu)
•
NetSpot (Canon software provided with the optional Network Kit III)
• The Remote UI
•
ARP/PING commands
•
An FTP Client
IMPORTANT
•
Before you enter the IP address of your machine, contact your Network Administrator to
allocate your IP address. Enter the correct IP address to avoid network problems.
•
In order to perform the following operations in this section, the machine's MAC address is
necessary. To check the MAC address from the printer's operation panel, follow the
procedure below to make a test print.
1. Press [PRT.Message] ➞ [Go] on the operation panel to take the printer offline.
2. Press [Menu] until <TEST MENU> appears.
3. Press [Item] until <PRINT EN CONFIG> appears ➞ press [Enter/Cancel].
•
Before you perform the following operations in this section, make sure that the machine is
connected to a power source, and connected to the network.
•
If you are using NetSpot or ARP/PING commands, the following steps directly allocate
the IP address of the machine. You can also use DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP to specify the
IP address. When the machine is started or reset, it checks whether DHCP, BOOTP, or
RARP is being used. Then, the machine allocates the IP address using the first available
procotol.
•
It is not necessary for you to perform the following operations in this section, if you are
using the machine to automatically allocate the IP address. However, if you are
reallocating the IP address, or if DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP cannot be used, perform the
following operations in this section.
