CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN
cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded
LAN cable.
After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to
configure the IP address and other network settings
before installing the software. (The factory default setting
for the IP address is to receive the IP address
automatically when the machine is used in a DHCP
environment.)
Network settings can be configured using "NETWORK SETTINGS" in the key operator programs on
the machine.
If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If
Caution
this happens, printing will not be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS
server or by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine.
Checking the IP address of the machine
You can check the IP address of the machine by printing out the "PRINTER SETTINGS LIST" in the
custom settings. Follow these steps to print out the "PRINTER SETTINGS LIST".
Press the [CUSTOM SETTINGS] key, touch the [LIST PRINT] key, touch the [PRINTER TEST PAGE]
key, and then touch the [PRINTER SETTINGS LIST] key.
