There are two ways to connect the machine to a computer: Network connection and USB connection. Select the
connection type according to your environment or functions to be used.
* The network function is available only for MF4580dn/MF4570dn/MF4420n.
* Functions with USB connection and network connection can be used simultaneously.
About obtaining the IP address automatically (AutoIP)
<DHCP> or <Auto IP> is enabled in the default setting.
Even if you do not set the IP address manually, this machine can
obtain it automatically.
•
Even if you do not have a dedicated device such as a DHCP server,
the IP address is obtained automatically.
•
The <DHCP> setting is prioritized over <Auto IP>.
If a fixed IP address is set as the IP address of the computer, set the
fixed IP address also for this machine manually.
