    Setting the IP Address (IP v. 4)

    12-Jul-2018
    8203740400

    Solution

    The machine's IPv4 address can be either assigned automatically by a dynamic IP addressing protocol, such as DHCP, or entered manually. You can test the network connection if necessary.

    Setting IPv4 Address
    1. Select <Menu> in the Home screen.

    2. Select <Network Settings>.
    • If the screen for entering a PIN appears, enter the correct PIN.

    3. Select <TCP/IP Settings> <IPv4 Settings> <IP Address Settings>.

    4. Configure IP address settings.
    <Auto Acquire>
    Select to automatically assign an IP address via DHCP protocol. When <On> is displayed, automatic addressing is enabled.
    <Manually Acquire>
    Select to configure the IP address settings by manually entering an IP address. In order to select this option, the automatic acquirement must be set to <Off>.
    <Check Settings>
    Select when you want to view the current IP address settings.

    Automatically assigning an IP address
    4-A-1. Select <Auto Acquire>.

    4-A-2. Select the protocol.
    • Select <Select Protocol> <DHCP>.
    NOTE
    If you do not want to use DHCP/BOOTP/RARP to assign an IP address
    • Select <Off>. If you select <DHCP> when these services are unavailable, the machine will waste time and communications resources searching the network for these services.

    4-A-3. Check that <Auto IP> is set to <On>.
    • If <Off> is selected, change the setting to <On>.

    4-A-4. Select <Apply>.
    NOTE
    • IP addresses assigned via DHCP override the address obtained via Auto IP.

    Manually entering an IP address
    4-B-1. Configure a setting to disable auto-acquisition.
    • Select <Auto Acquire>, and set both <Select Protocol> and <Auto IP> to <Off>.

    4-B-2. Select <Manually Acquire>.

    4-B-3. Specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (or default gateway).
    • Enter these values in each screen, and select <Apply>.
    • On how to enter text, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (canon.com/oip-manual).
    IMPORTANT
    Checking whether the settings are correct
    • Make sure that the Remote UI screen can be displayed with your computer. If a computer is not available, you can check the connection by using the operation panel.
    When you have changed the IP address after installing the printer driver
    • When the MFNP port is used, the connection is maintained as long as the machine and the computer belong to the same subnet; therefore, you do not need to add a new port. When the standard TCP/IP port is used, you need to add a new port.
    *If you do not know which port is used, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (canon.com/oip-manual).

    Testing the Network Connection
    1. Select <Menu> in the Home screen.

    2. Select <Network Settings>.
    • If the screen for entering a PIN appears, enter the correct PIN.

    3. Select <TCP/IP Settings> <IPv4 Settings> <PING Command>.

    4. Enter the IPv4 address of another device on the network, and select <Apply>.
    If a proper connection has been established, <Received response from host.> is displayed.
