Solution
The machine's IPv4 address can be either assigned automatically by a dynamic IP addressing protocol, such as DHCP, or assigned by manually entering a fixed IP address. When connecting the machine to a wired LAN, make sure that the connectors of the LAN cable are firmly inserted into the ports.

NOTE:
When using DHCP
- If you turn OFF the power and ON again, an IP address differing from the current one will be assigned. This may disable printing. To use DHCP, specify one of the following settings after consulting the network administrator.
- Configuring the DNS Dynamic Update Function
- Specifying Settings for the DHCP Server to Constantly Assign the Same IP Address
If you do not want to use DHCP/BOOTP/RARP to assign an IP address
- Set all the protocols to <Off>. If you set <Use DHCP>, <Use BOOTP>, or <Use RARP> to <On> when the DCHP/BOOTP/RARP servers are unavailable, the machine will waste time and communication resources in searching the network for available services.

How to enter addresses
- Use [

When you are unsure of the IP address to input
- The IP address can be determined from the router settings of the network.

Checking whether the settings are correct
- Make sure that the Remote UI screen can be displayed with your computer.
If you have changed the IP address after installing the printer driver
- By following the procedure for changing the standard TCP/IP port described in the "Printer Driver Installation Guide," specify the port to use again.
Using a computer
- In addition to using the operation panel, you can also set the IP address from the computer by using the method shown below.
- Setting the IP address by using the NetSpot Device Installer: Start the utility application NetSpot Device Installer on the User Software CD-ROM, and set the IP address.
- Setting the IP address by using the ARP/PING commands: Start Command Prompt installed in the operating system as standard, and set the IP address by entering ARP/PNG commands at command prompts.
When you want to use a fixed IP address for the machine, you can determine the IP address as shown below.
To Determine the IP AddressAn IP address consists of four numbers delimited by a period (.) (example: 192.168.1.45). Each number must be in the range from 0 to 255. In general, set the first three numbers to be the same as those for the router because they are common in the network. Determine the last number (for example, 45 in 192.168.1.45) that is different from that for other devices.
Checking the Router SettingsWhen you want to use a fixed IP address, check the settings of the DHCP that functions to automatically assign an IP address in a network. To avoid duplication of the IP address, you need to set an IP address outside the range of IP addresses assigned by DHCP. Since a router often functions as a DHCP server, check the router settings.
NOTE:
For how to display the setting screen of the router, see the instruction manual of your router.
1. Display the setting screen of the router.
2. Check the range of IP addresses assigned by DHCP.
The range of IP addresses assigned by DHCP is set according to your router.
- Example DHCP setting screen of the router:
3. Determine the IP address of the machine.
In the example screen shown in step 2, assign an IP address in the range of 192.168.11.66 to 192.168.11.254 to the machine because an IP address that the router assigns by DHCP is in the range of 192.168.11.2 to 192.168.11.65.
Start Command Prompt installed in Windows as standard, and set the IPv4 address of the machine.
1. Start [Command Prompt].
- Open the [Start] menu and select [All Programs] or [Programs] [Accessories] [Command Prompt].
2. Enter "arp -s <IP address> <MAC address>" and press the [ENTER] key.
| <IP address> | Enter the IP address to assign to the machine. |
| <MAC address> | Enter the MAC address of the machine with separation at every two digits by a hyphen "-." |
- Example: arp -s 192.168.1.45 00-1E-8F-46-80-2e
3. Enter "ping <IP address>-l 479" * and press the [ENTER] key.
* Enter a lowercase "L" for "-l."
| <IP address> | Enter the same address as the one that you typed in step 2. |
- Example: ping 192.168.1.45 -l 479
Restart the machine, and the specified IP address is configured in the machine.- The subnet mask and gateway address are set to "0.0.0.0."
4. Enter "exit" and press the [ENTER] key.
Command Prompt exits.NOTE
To disable the ARP/PING command
- The ARP/PING command can be used to change the IP address settings of the machine via the network. Thus, in order to ensure secure communication, it is recommended to disable the ARP/PING command after setting the IP address. For details on the procedure for settings, see the "e-Manual" (HTML manual) in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
For details on other procedures for starting and using NetSpot Device Installer, see the following.
- Starting method: The Readme file of NetSpot Device Installer
See the Readme file of NetSpot Device Installer located in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
- Usage: Help of NetSpot Device Installer
Help is displayed by clicking [Help] in the [Help] menu.
IMPORTANT
If Windows Firewall is enabled
- Before starting NetSpot Device Installer, configure Windows Firewall to unblock NetSpot Device Installer.
- For details on the configuration procedure, see the Readme file of NetSpot Device Installer.
For operating systems not compatible with NetSpot Device Installer
- Perform the settings from another computer on the network or by using the printer's control panel or the ARP/PING command.
