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 then 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.
6-3
Network Printing in a Windows Environment (Available only with FAX3900)
6
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. )
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
keys to enter the IP
address.
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”.

8 Use the 10-key pad and the
and
keys to enter the subnet

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.
H
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.
H
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”.
Set the power switch on the copier to “2”, then “1” to restart the copier.
