Making the Connection Ethernet Interface An RJ45 connector can be used as the Ethernet interface for this machine. When connecting your machine to an Ethernet network, the tasks you perform depend on how you plan to set the machine's IP (Internet Protocol) address. IP Address-A unique identifier for each device on a TCP/IP network. Subnet Mask-A filter used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. Gateway-A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. Since the IP address for each PC and machine on your network must be unique, you usually need to modify this preset address so it doesn't conflict with any other IP address or your network or any attached network. You can do this in one of two ways. Each is explained in detail in the following sections. Using DHCP Setting the address manually Using DHCP If your network supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the machine's IP address will be automatically assigned by the DHCP server when you turn on the machine. (Refer to "Network Printing" on page 6-6 for a description of DHCP.) " If the IP address of the machine is not set automatically, check if the machine has been set to allow DHCP to be used (REPORT/STATUS - REPORT - CONFIGURATION PAGE). If the machine has been set so that DHCP cannot be used, select AUTO in the UTILITY ADMIN. MANAGEMENT - NETWORK SETTING - IP ADDR. SETTING menu, and ENABLE in the UTILITY - ADMIN. MANAGEMENT - NETWORK SETTING - DHCP menu. 1 Connect your machine to the network. When using an Ethernet cable, plug the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet interface port of the machine. 2 Turn on your PC and machine. 3 After the machine's message window is initialized, install the printer driver.
