This section describes the setting of IP address and activating the protocol to be used
on the printer.

Setting IP Address
To use the printer in TCP/IP environment, it is necessary to set the following items on
the printer:

gateway address

If the printer is connected to a network with a DHCP server, these items can be
obtained automatically from the DHCP server when the printer is switched on.
If you do not have a DHCP server, set the address assigned by the administrator,
using the control panel.
Decide on whether to obtain the IP address from the DHCP server or to set it at the
control panel, before proceeding with the corresponding procedure.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol which automatically assigns IP
address from the DHCP server to the DHCP client. Check with your network administrator on
whether the printer is connected to a network with DHCP environment.
Obtaining IP Address from the DHCP Server
To obtain the IP address using the control panel, set Setup IP Address as DHCP . The
factory setting of Setup IP Address is already DHCP. Carry out the following
procedure only when the setting has been changed.
For details about how to make the settings, refer to the printer's user's guide.
