Set Up the IP Address, if
Necessary
If your network meets either of the following
conditions, an IP address is assigned to the
computer and to the machine automatically.
• If a DHCP or BOOTP server is on the network
• Universal Plug-and-Play
If all the computers connected to the network
are
• Windows 7
• Windows Vista
• Windows XP
• Windows 2000
• Windows Server 2008 R2
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows Server 2003,
• or your router supports Universal Plug-
and-Play,
an IP address is automatically assigned to the
computer and to the machine even if a DHCP/
BOOTP server is not on the network.
If the network does not meet the conditions
above, or your network administrator or internet
service provider specifies a unique IP address for
the computer and your machine, set the IP
addresses manually.
General Information
• You must enter the administrator password to
complete this procedure.
• When setting an IP address manually, ask the
network administrator or your internet service
provider which IP address to use. If the IP
address is not set correctly, the network might
go down or Internet access could be disabled.
Note
If you are configuring a small network consisting
of only your machine and a computer, set the IP
addresses as shown below (according to
RFC1918):
For the computer

Subnet mask:
Default gateway:
