Performing Setup from the Control Panel
Eth. Subnet Mask
[255.255.255.0]
This option lets you modify the subnet mask for printing with TCP/IP over Ethernet.
To set the subnet mask, enter one of the following values:
•
255.0.0.0
if the IP address starts with a number less than 128
•
255.255.0.0
if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191
•
255.255.255.0
if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191
Confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator before proceeding.
In some cases the required setting may be different from those listed.
Auto Gateway
Yes/No [Yes]
Use this option to get the gateway address automatically for printing with TCP/IP.
This option appears only if you selected DHCP or BOOTP as the protocol in the
previous options.
If you select a DHCP or BOOTP protocol and later change it to RARP, you must
return to Setup and set this option to No. You can then set the address manually. This
is because RARP does not support automatic assignment of the gateway address.
Gateway Address
[127.0.0.1]
This option appears only if you answered No to Auto Gateway, or if you selected
RARP as the protocol.
Use this option to set the gateway address for printing with TCP/IP. If your network
uses a gateway, you must change the default to a correct gateway address for your
network.
IP Filtering
Off/On [Off]
Select On to setup a range of IP addresses that is available for connecting to the
printer.
IP Filter Mask
O00.000.000.000
Enter the IP filter mask that specifies the available range for connecting to the printer.
