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.
* Functions with USB connection and network connection can be used simultaneously.
* To use the scanning function with Macintosh, you need to connect with a USB cable.
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.
