CONNECTING THE MACHINE

CONNECTING TO A NETWORK

To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's
network connector. Use a shielded LAN cable.
After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address
and other network settings before installing the software. (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 system
settings (administrator) 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.
• To use the machine on an IPv6 network, the IPv6 setting must be enabled in
"Network Settings" in the system settings (administrator).
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 (User)] key, and then
touch the [Print] key of "All Custom Setting List".
