step 1: Setting up the TCP/IP protocol on the Network Card
The setting up of IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are required for the Network Card.
Normally there are two ways to set up these addresses. You may need to ask your network
administrator about the set up of these addresses.
• By using the DHCP server
• By using the printer’s operator panel display
■ By using the DHCP server
This Network Card supports DHCP server. Therefore, it is possible to assign the IP address, etc.
automatically from the DHCP server.

• In case of the factory default, once the IP address, etc. is assigned, it will be kept in
the printer’s memory. When the printer is turned on again, the Network Card attempts
to obtain the same IP address, etc. But if the DHCP server has already lent this
address to other device, a different IP address, etc. will be assigned.
• The IP address assigned from a DHCP server has either limited or infinite lease term.
It is recommended to use Infinite lease with this Network Card. The Network Card
does not ask for an extension of the lease even if Its IP address has a limited lease
term. If the infinite IP address is assigned, the lease term is terminated when the
printer is turned off.
■ By using the printer’s operator panel display
If the administrator manages the IP address, ask your network administrator for the values. If not,
decide the value by referring to the example below.
The IP address must be unique on every network computer and device. The Subnet Mask must be
the same on all network computers and devices.
Example: Assigning the IP address. Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
10.X.X.X
(For
X,
you can choose any number from
0
- 255 except O.O.O.O
and 255.255.255.255)
255.000.000.000
Not required.

• It is recommended to select “DLC Peer-to -Peer printing” if you use Windows 95/
Windows 98 and you have trouble setting up the IP address values. Its settings are
comparatively easy.
