5.2 Assigning an IP address
How to assign an IP address
The IP address can be assigned using a function on the “NETWORK SET-
TING” 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
NET-
WORK SETTING? .
3
Press the [1] key from the 10-key pad
to select
IP ADDRESS
.
4
Use the * and ) keys to select
SPECIFY
, and press the [Yes] key.
– If
SPECIFY
is selected in this
step described in this manual,
AUTO
can also be selected. If
AUTO
is selected, the IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway setting are automatically as-
signed 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.
– 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 spec-
ified printer on the network due to a communication failure caused
by a change in the address. When
AUTO
is selected, we recom-
mend that you set the DHCP server to assign a fixed address to the
copier.
