IMPORTANT
•
If you set the startup time of the machine's network functions by following the
procedure in "Startup Time Settings," on p. 3-42, execute the PING command only
after the time set as the startup time passes.
•
If you connect the machine to a switching hub, the machine may not be able to
connect to a network even though your network settings are appropriate. This
problem may be resolved by delaying the startup of network communications for
the machine. See "Startup Time Settings," on p. 3-42 for information on how to set
up the startup time.

via a web browser, and device information delivery, or confirm Department IDs and
passwords.
A key pair and server certificate are preinstalled in the machine. You can also use
this key pair and server certificate to enable encrypted SSL communication.
The procedure for generating and registering a key pair and self-signed server
