“Step 1 Configuring the Network Settings of
●
“Step 2 Setting Up Your Computer and
Machine for Scan to Shared Folder” P.65
Note
● You need to configure the network setting of the computer
before this procedure.
Memo
● You can skip step 1 if the IP address is already set on your
machine.
Step 1 Configuring the Network
Settings of Your Machine
Connect your machine to a network with an
Ethernet cable or Wireless LAN connection
(MC342dw, MC362w, MC562w, MC562dw,
ES5462dw MFP, MPS2731mc only), and then
configure the machine’s IP address and other
network information from the operator panel.
You can set the IP address either manually or
automatically.
If there is no DHCP server or BOOTP server on
the network, you need to manually configure the
IP address on the computer or machine.
If your network administrator or internet
service provider specifies a unique IP address
for the computer and your machine, set the IP
addresses manually.
Note
● When setting an IP address manually, ask the network
administrator or your internet service provider which IP
address to use. If the IP address is set incorrectly, the
network may go down or Internet access may be disabled.
● Conform the IP version of the machine to that of your
computer.
● Set [TCP/IP] setting to [Enable] on your machine. (By
factory default, it is set to [Enable].)
Memo
● If configuring a small network consisting of only your
machine and a computer, set IP addresses as shown
below (according to RFC1918).
