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

Network settings can be configured using "NETWORK SETTINGS" in the key operator programs on
the machine.

custom settings. Follow these steps to print out the "PRINTER SETTINGS LIST".
Press the [CUSTOM SETTINGS] key, touch the [LIST PRINT] key, touch the [PRINTER TEST PAGE]
