Using DHCP
The IP address can be acquired from the DHCP server.
Note
z
PC administrator privileges are required for the setup.
z
Incorrectly allocating the IP address may cause major malfunctions such as crashing the network. Thoroughly consult the
network administrator before making the settings.
Setting the DHCP server
DHCP is the protocol that allocates IP addresses
automatically to each TCP/IP network. You can
set a subnet mask in addition to the IP address.
Note
z
Set the DHCP server so that a fixed IP address is allocated
to the device. Allocating IP addresses randomly may
disable printing via the network. See the DHCP server
manuals for how to allocate fixed IP addresses.
