Setting up the network You need to set up the network protocols on the machine (;printer) to use it in the network environment. If you use your machine in the wired network, refer to 'Using a wired network'. If you use your network printer in the wireless network, refer to See "Using a wireless network" on page 3.4. Note If you want to use the USB cable, connect the cable between a computer and you machine. Then, refer to the software installation in Software section. Supported network environments The following table shows the network environments supported by the machine: Item Requirements Network interface Network operating system Network protocols 10/100 Base-TX 802.11 b/g Wireless LAN Windows 2000/XP/2003/2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2 Various Linux OS Macintosh Mac OS 10.3 ~ 10.6 TCP/IP, Standard TCP/IP, LPR, IPP/ HTTP, Bonjour, DHCP, BOOTP Using a wired network You must set up the network protocols on your printer to use it on your network. This chapter will show you how this is easily accomplished. Printing Configuration report Press and hold Stop/Clear button for about 4 seconds to print a machine report. Please review your machines User's Guide to learn of additional details. Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine MAC address and IP address. For example: MAC Address : 00:15:99:41:A2:78 IP Address : 192.0.0.192 Setting IP address Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server) located on the network. In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons. • DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address on the report. • Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address from your computer. In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this address for you. IP setting using the SetIP program The following procedure is based on Windows XP. This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. MAC address is a hardware serial number of the network interface and can be found in the Network Configuration Report. Note • You only need to run this program if your network requires a static IP address. Otherwise, you may proceed to the Configuring the machine's wireless network part of this document. If you are unsure of this requirement ask the system administrator or the person who has set up your local network. • You can only use the SetIP program when your machine is connected to a network or directly connected to a PC with the crossover network cable included with your machine. In most cases we recommend using the crossover cable. You will be asked to connect this cable in a moment. Installing the program 1 Insert the driver CD provided along with your machine. When the driver CD runs automatically, close the window. 2 Start Windows Explorer and open the X drive. (X represents your CD-ROM drive.) 3 Double click Application > SetIP. 4 Double click Setup.exe to install this program. 5 Click OK. If necessary, select a language from the drop-down list. 6 Follow the instruction on the window to complete the installation. Starting the program 1 Connect your machine and the computer using crossover network cable. 3.2
