Setting IPv4 address
First, you have to set up an IPv4 address for network printing and
management. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically
assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located
on the network.
If you use IPv6 address, refer to "IPv6 Configuration" on page 32.
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. 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.

IPv4 setting using SetIP Program (Windows)
This program is for manually setting the network IPv4 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
.
For using SetIP program, disable the computer firewall before continuing
by performing the following:
1.
Open
Control Panel
.
2.
Double click
Security Center
.
3.
Click
Windows Firewall

•
MAC Address:
Find the machine’s MAC address from the
Network Configuration Report and enter it without the colons. For
example, 00:15:99:29:51:A8 becomes 0015992951A8.
•
IP Address:
Enter a new IP address for your printer. For
example, if your computer’s IP address is 192.168.1.150, enter
192.168.1.X. (X is number between 1 and 254 other than the
computer’s address.)
