Assigning an IP Address
From the control panel of the copier, assign an IP address to the copier.
Note
Always assign an IP address only after consulting your network
administrator.
Entering the IP Address From the Control Panel
Use the 10-key pad on the control panel to enter the IP address.
Example: To enter “192.168.0.10”

Assigning an IP Address
The IP address can be assigned using a function on the “NETWORK
SETTING” menu. Other functions on the “NETWORK SETTING” menu
can be used to specify the subnet mask and default gateway settings.
1 Press the [Utility] key.
The first Utility mode screen
appears.
2 Use the
and
keys to select
“NETWORK SETTING?”.
3 Press the [1] key from the 10-key
pad to select “IP ADDRESS”.
4 Use the
and
keys to select
“SPECIFY”, and then press the
[Yes] key.
Note
If “SPECIFY” is selected in this step, “AUTO” can also be selected.
If “AUTO” is selected, the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway setting are automatically assigned by the DHCP server on
the network. This means that they do not have to be assigned
manually, as is the case when “SPECIFY” is selected. However,
please note the following points when using “AUTO” to assign the
IP address.

Check with your network administrator to determine if there is a
DHCP server available on the network. (If there is, a special IP
address will be assigned by the AutoIP function. However, the
copier will not be able to communicate with other devices on the
network that have had ordinary IP addresses assigned to them. )
Always select “SPECIFY” when there is no DHCP server available.
When “AUTO” is selected to assign the IP address, the IP address
may sometimes be changed automatically. If the IP address and
other settings are changed, you may not be able to print to a
specified printer on the network due to a communication failure
caused by a change in the address. When “AUTO” is selected, we
recommend that you set the DHCP server to assign a fixed
address to the copier.
5 Use the 10-key pad and the
and
keys to enter the IP
address.
Note
If an IP address is already entered, it can be overwritten by a new
one.
The IP address shown in the illustration is only an example. Always
check with your network administrator before entering an IP
address for the printer.
6 Press the [Yes] key to confirm the setting. “The NETWORK SETTING”
menu appears again.

Proceed to enter the subnet mask setting.

The “NETWORK SETTING” menu appears again. Finally, the
specified IP address, network mask, and default gateway settings
are registered on the copier itself. In order to register these
settings, the copier must be restarted by turning it off, then on
again.

key or the [Panel Reset] key to select “PLEASE RE-START POWER
SUPPLY OFF/ON”.
