Making the Connection
Ethernet Interface
An RJ45 connector can be used as the Ethernet interface for this machine.
When connecting your machine to an Ethernet network, the tasks you per-
form depend on how you plan to set the machine’s IP (Internet Protocol)
address. Machines are shipped with a preset IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway.
IP Address
—A unique identifier for each device on a TCP/IP network.
Subnet Mask
—A filter used to determine what subnet an IP address
belongs to.
Gateway
—A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another
network.
Since the IP address for each PC and machine on your network must be
unique, you usually need to modify this preset address so it doesn’t conflict
with any other IP address or your network or any attached network. You can
do this in one of two ways. Each is explained in detail in the following sec-
tions.
Using DHCP
Setting the address manually
Using DHCP
If your network supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the
machine’s IP address will be automatically assigned by the DHCP server
when you turn on the printer. (Refer to “Network Printing” on page 7-6 for a
description of DHCP.)
"
If your machine is not automatically assigned an IP address, verify
that DHCP is enabled on the machine ([Utility Settings] – [User Set-
tings] – [Print Settings] – [Report Print] – [Config. Page]). If it is not
enabled, you can enable it in the [Utility Settings] – [Admin Settings] –
[Ethernet] – [TCP/IP] – [DHCP]
menu.
1
Connect your machine to the network.
When using an Ethernet cable, plug the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet
interface port of the machine.
2
Turn on your PC and machine.
