[. . . ] NC-6 5-1 5 5. 2 Assigning an IP Address Assigning an IP Address The IP address can be assigned using a function on the "NETWORK SETTING" menu. Other functions on the "NETWORK SETTING" menu can be used to specify the subnet mask and default gateway settings. 1 Press the [Utility] key. The first Utility mode screen appears. 2 Use the and keys to select "NETWORK SETTING?". 3 Press the [1] key from the 10-key pad to select "IP ADDRESS". 4 Use the and keys to select "SPECIFY", and press the [Yes] key. Note If "SPECIFY" is selected in this step, "AUTO" can also be selected. If "AUTO" is selected, the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway setting are automatically assigned by the DHCP server on the network. This means that they do not have to be assigned manually, as is the case when "SPECIFY" is selected. However, please note the following points when using "AUTO" to assign the IP address. 5-2 NC-6 Assigning an IP Address 5 Check with your network administrator to determine if there is a DHCP server available on the network. (If there is, a special IP address will be assigned by the AutoIP function. However, the copier will not be able to communicate with other devices on the network that have had ordinary IP addresses assigned to them. For details about the AutoIP function, refer to "Product Specifications" on page 9-1. ) Always select "SPECIFY" when there is no DHCP server available. When "AUTO" is selected to assign the IP address, the IP address may sometimes be changed automatically. If the IP address and other settings are changed, you may not be able to print to a specified printer on the network due to a communication failure caused by a change in the address. When "AUTO" is selected, we recommend that you set the DHCP server to assign a fixed address to the copier. 5 Use the 10-key pad and the and address. keys to enter the IP Note If an IP address is already entered, it can be overwritten by a new one. The IP address shown in the illustration is only an example. Always check with your network administrator before entering an IP address for the printer. 6 Press the [Yes] key to confirm the setting. The "NETWORK SETTING" menu appears again. Proceed to enter the subnet mask setting. 7 While the "NETWORK SETTING" menu is displayed, press the [2] key in the 10-key pad to select "SUBNET MASK". NC-6 5-3 5 8 Use the 10-key pad and the and keys to enter the subnet mask address. Assigning an IP Address Note The subnet mask address shown in the illustration is only an example. Always check with your network administrator before entering a subnet mask address. 9 Press the [Yes] key to confirm the setting. The "NETWORK SETTING" menu appears again. Proceed to enter the default gateway setting. 10 While the "NETWORK SETTING" menu is displayed, press the [3] key on the 10-key pad to select "GATEWAY". 11 Use the 10-key pad and the and keys to enter the default gateway address. Note The default gateway address shown in the illustration is only an example. Always check with your network administrator before entering a default gateway address. 12 Press the [Yes] key to confirm the setting. The "NETWORK SETTING" menu appears again. Finally, the specified IP address, network mask, and default gateway settings are registered on the copier itself. In order to register these settings, the copier must be restarted by turning it off, then on again. 13 While the "NETWORK SETTING" menu is displayed, press the [No] key or the [Panel Reset] key to select "PLEASE RE-START POWER SUPPLY OFF/ON". 14 Set the power switch on the copier to "O", then "I" to restart the copier. 5-4 NC-6 Printing the Configuration Page 6 6 Printing the Configuration Page Detailed information on the settings can be printed so that the contents of the settings can be easily checked. Note The Configuration Page cannot be printed for copiers that are not equipped with the optional PCL printer controller or fax option. 1 Press the [Status] key on the control panel of the copier. 2 Use the and keys to select "PRINTER REPORT?". 3 Press the [Yes] key. A list of the types of report that can be printed appears. 4 Use the and keys to select "CONFIGURATION PAGE?". 5 Press the [Yes] key. The contents of the settings are printed.
