Preparation for Protocol Settings
Before you specify the machine's protocol settings, it is necessary to specify the
machine IP address to enable communication between the machine and your
computers. You can use any of the following to specify the settings. Specify the
settings using the easiest method.
•
The machine's control panel (Additional Functions menu)
•
NetSpot Device Installer (Canon software included on the Network User Software
CD-ROM)
•
The ARP/PING commands
IMPORTANT
•
In the following operations, the machine's MAC address is necessary. To check the MAC
address from the printer control panel, follow the procedure below to make a test print.
1. Press
(PRINT)
➞
(OK) on the control panel; the Online indicator goes
off.
2. Press
(F1) repeatedly until <TEST MENU> appears.
3. Press
(F2) repeatedly until <PRINT EN CONFIG> appears in the second line
of the display.
4. Press
(F4).
•
Before you perform the following operations in this section, check that the machine is ON
and connected to the network.
•
If you are using NetSpot Device Installer or ARP/PING commands, the following steps
directly allocate the IP address to the machine. For this machine, in addition to direct
allocation of the IP address to the machine, you can use DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP to
specify the IP address. When the machine is started or reset, it checks whether DHCP,
BOOTP, or RARP is being used, and then allocates the IP address using the first
available setting method. Because the machine IP address is automatically allocated at
this time, it is not necessary for you to perform the following operations in this section.
However if you are reallocating the IP address, or if DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP cannot be
used, perform the following operations.
Settings from the Control Panel
IMPORTANT
Settings specified from the control panel become effective after the machine is restarted,
after the procedure.
