This chapter gives you step-by-step instructions for setting up the network connected machine and software.
You need to set up the network protocols on the machine to use it as your network machine.
The following table shows the network environments supported by the machine:
Item |
Requirements |
---|---|
Network interface |
Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX |
Network operating system |
|
Network protocols |
|
There are several programs available to setup the network settings in network environment.

Before using the programs below, set the IP address first. |
Web server embedded on your network machine, which allows you to:
Configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to connect to various network environments.
Customize machine settings.
This utility program allows you to select a network interface and manually configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol. (See IP setting using SetIP Program)

TCP/IPv6 is not supported by this program. |
You must set up the network protocols on your machine to use it on your network. This chapter will show you how this is accomplished.
You can use network after connecting network cable to a corresponding port on your machine.
You can print a Network Configuration Report from the machine's control panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help you to set up a network and troubleshooting problems.
To print the report:
In ready mode, press and hold the (cancel
button) for about 5 seconds. You can find your
machine’s MAC address and IP address.
For example:
MAC Address : 00:15:99:41:A2:78
IP Address : 192.0.0.192
Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.
DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the report.
Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address from your computer.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this address for you.
This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. A MAC address is the hardware serial number of the network interface and can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
For using SetIP program, disable the computer firewall before continuing by performing the following:
Open
> > .Double click
.Click
.Disable the firewall.
Insert the supplied software CD provided with your machine. When the driver CD runs automatically, close that window.
Start Windows Explorer and open the X drive. (X represents your CD/DVD drive.)
Double-click SetIP.
>Double-click
to install this program.Click
. If necessary, select a language from the drop-down list.Follow the instructions in the window and complete the installation.
Connect your machine to the network with a network cable.
Turned on the machine.
From the Windows SetIP > SetIP.
menu, select > >Click on the icon (third
from left) in the SetIP window
to open the TCP/IP configuration window.
Enter the machine’s new information into the configuration window as follows. In a corporate intranet, you may need to have this information assigned by a network manager before proceeding.
Network Configuration Report and enter it without the colons. For example, 00:15:99:29:51:A8 becomes 0015992951A8.
: Find the machine’s MAC address from the: Enter a new IP address for your printer.
For example, if your computer’s IP address is 192.168.1.150, enter 192.168.1.X. (X is number between 1 and 254 other than the computer’s address.)
: Enter a Subnet Mask.
: Enter a Default Gateway.
Click Network Configuration Report. Confirm that all the settings are correct.
, and then click . The machine will automatically print theClick SetIP program.
to close theIf necessary, restart the computer’s firewall.
You can also set up the various network settings through the network administration programs such as Embedded Web Service.
You may need to reset the machine to the factory default settings when machine that you are using is connected to new network environment.
You can set up the machine driver, follow the steps below.
This is recommended for most users. All components necessary for machine operations will be installed.
Make sure that the machine is connected to the network and powered on.
Insert the supplied software CD into your CD/DVD drive.
The software CD should automatically run and an installation window appear.
If the installation window does not appear, click
and then . Type X:\ , replacing “X” with the letter which represents your drive. Click .If you use Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Server R2 click

The Custom Installation allows you to select the machine’s connection and choose individual component to install. Follow the guide on the window. |
The list of printers available on the network appears. Select the printer you want to install from the list and then click
.If you do not see your printer on the list, click
to refresh the list, or select to add your printer to the network. To add the printer to the network, enter the port name and the IP address for the printer.To verify your printer’s IP address, print
a Network Configuration page. (By pressing the (cancel
button) for about 5 seconds, then release. (Example
IP Address is 13.121.52.104)
To find a shared network printer (UNC Path), select
] and enter the shared name manually or find a shared printer by clicking the button.

If you cannot find your machine in network, please turn off the firewall and click .For Windows operating system, > and start windows firewall, and deactivate this option. For other operating system, refer to its on-line guide. |
After the installation is finished, a window asking you to print a test page appears. If you choose to print a test page, select the checkbox and click
. Otherwise, just click and skip to step 8.If the test page prints out correctly, click
.If not, click
to reprint it.Click
