You can use network after connecting network cable to a corresponding

port on your machine.

Printing a network configuration report

You can print Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control

panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help

you to set up a network and troubleshoot problems.
1. Press Menu on the control panel.
2. Press the left/right arrow until Network appears and press OK.
3. Press the left/right arrow until Network Info. appears and press OK.
4. Press the left/right arrow until Yes appears and press OK.
Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine MAC

address and IP address.
For example:

MAC Address:00:15:99:41:A2:78

IP Address:192.0.0.192

Setting IP address

First, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and

managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically

assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located

on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a

static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.

DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a

few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the

machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained

above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the

assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the

report.

Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address

from your computer. If your machine has a control panel, you can also

change IP address using the machine's control panel.

In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network

administrator to set IP address for you.

IPv4 setting using control panel (Windows)

1.Connect your machine to the network with a network cable.
2.Turn on the machine.
3.Press Menu on the control panel.

6.Press the left/right arrow until Static appears and press OK.
7.Press the left/right arrow until IP Address appears and press OK.
8.Enter the IP address using numeric keypad and press OK.

Enter a byte between 0 and 255 using the number keypad and

press the left/right arrow to move between bytes.
Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the

4th byte.

9.Enter other parameters such as the Subnet Mask and Gateway

appears and press OK.

10.After entering all parameters, press Stop/Clear to return to ready

mode.

Now go to "Installing wired network-connected machine’s driver" on

page 3.

IPv4 setting using SetIP Program (Windows)

This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your
