Getting started

assign the IP address and set other network parameters.

If you know that you are connecting to an Infrastructure mode

network with an access point, and the IP address is assigned by a

DHCP server, you may proceed to the Configuring the machine’s
wireless network

part after reviewing the following parts on printing

a Network Configuration Report.

If you know that you are connecting to an Infrastructure mode

network with an access point, but it does not have DHCP address

assignment, or you are required to set a static IP, proceed to the
Setting IP address

part before going to Configuring the

machine’s wireless network

part after reviewing the following parts

on printing a Network Configuration Report.

Ad-hoc mode

: An Ad-hoc mode network provides peer to peer

communication. In an Ad-hoc mode network, wireless devices and

computers communicate directly with each other, without using an

access point. They can share files and machines, but may not be

able to access the Internet. The machine receives print jobs from

wireless computers directly.

If you know that you are connecting to an ad-hoc mode network without an

access point, proceed to the Setting IP address part before going to
Configuring the machine’s wireless network

part after reviewing the

following parts on printing a Network Configuration Report.

Printing Configuration report

You can print a 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 troubleshooting problems.
1.

Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2.

Press the left/right arrow until Report appears and press OK.

3.

Press the left/right arrow until Network Info. appears and press OK.

4.

Press OK when Yes appears to confirm printing.
Network Configuration Report

will then be printed out.

Please review your machines User’s Guide to learn of additional details.

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

Firstly, 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. (If the access point has an available LAN port, you may

connect your machine directly to the access point.) 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. Leave the machine attached to

the network.

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 this address for you.

IP setting using control panel

1.

Press Menu on the control panel until you see Network on the

bottom line of the display and press OK.

2.

Press the left/right arrow until TCP/IP appears and press OK.

3.

Press the left/right arrow until Static appears and press OK.

4.

Press the left/right arrow until IP Address appears and press OK.

5.

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

the left/right arrow to move between bytes.

6.

Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the 4th byte.

7.

When you have finished, press OK.

8.

Repeat steps 6 and 7 to configure the other TCP/IP parameters:

subnet mask and gateway address.

IP setting using SetIP program

The following procedure is based on Windows XP.
This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your

machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. A

MAC address is the hardware serial number of the network interface and

can be found in the Network Configuration Report.

Installing the program

1.

Insert the Printer Software CD-ROM provided with your machine.

When the driver CD runs automatically, close that window.

2.

Start a web browser such as Internet Explorer and open the X drive.

(X represents your CD-ROM drive.)

3.

Double-click Application > SetIP.

4.

Double-click Setup.exe to install this program.

5.

Click OK. If necessary, select a language from the drop-down list.

You only need to run this program if your network requires a

static IP address. Otherwise, you may proceed to the
Configuring the machine’s wireless network

part of this

document. If you are unsure of this requirement ask the system

administrator or the person who has set up your local network.

You can only use the SetIP program when your machine is

connected to a network or directly connected to a PC with the

crossover network cable included with your machine. In most

cases we recommend using the crossover cable. You will be

asked to connect this cable in a moment.
