Settings Common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6

This section describes the procedure for specifying the settings common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 using the control panel.

Specify the settings required for your network environment. If you want to use both TCP/IPv4 communications and TCP/IPv6 communications, specify the settings required for both protocols.

After performing this procedure, follow the procedure in "Confirming TCP/IPv4 Settings (PING Command)" and "Confirming TCP/IPv6 Settings (PING Command)" to check whether the network settings are correct.

Press

Press [Preferences] → [Network] → [TCP/IP Settings].

Press [LPD Print Settings] for [TCP/IP Settings] → specify the following items → press [OK].

Press [On] to use LPD as the print application.

NOTE
The imagePRESS Printer Kit may be required to output a banner page. Output of a banner page is set on a print-job basis. Even if [On] is selected for <LPD Banner Page>, a banner page cannot be output for a print job unless it is set.

Press [RAW Print Settings] for [TCP/IP Settings] → specify the following items → press [OK].

Press [On] to use Raw as the print application.

If you want to use SNTP time synchronization, press [On] for <Use SNTP>.

Enter the interval for performing time synchronization in <Polling Interval>.

Press [NTP Server Address] → enter the IP address or host name of the NTP server → press [OK].

IMPORTANT
In order to perform time synchronization through SNTP, it is necessary to set the time zone of the region in which you are using the machine in advance. For instructions on how to set the time zone, see "Current Date and Time." If you want to set the digital signature method for the IKE (Internet Key Exchange) authentication when performing IPSec communication (see "Registering a Security Policy"), it is necessary to set <Use SNTP> to 'On'.

→ [Print] → [Job Log] on the touch panel display.)

Press [WSD Settings] for [TCP/IP Settings] → specify the following items → press [OK].

Specify the WSD print settings if you are using Windows Vista/Server 2008/7/Server 2008 R2.

If you want to use the WSD (Web Services on Devices) print application, press [On] for <Use WSD>.

[Use HTTP] is automatically set to 'On' if you select [On].

<Use WSD Browsing> is automatically set to 'On' if you select [On] for <Use WSD>, and enables information for the machine to be obtained using WSD.

If you want to use WSD Scan function, press [On] for <Use WSD Scan Function>. [Use HTTP] is automatically set to 'On' if you select [On]. For more information on WSD Scan function, see "WSD Scan."

Press [Use FTP PASV Mode] for [TCP/IP Settings] → specify the following items → press [OK].

If you want to use the IPP authentication function, press [On] for <Use Authentication>. Press [User Name] → enter the user name to use for IPP authentication → press [OK]. Press [Password] → enter the password to use for IPP authentication → press [OK]. On the Confirm screen, enter the same password to confirm the password → press [OK].

IMPORTANT
In order to select [On] for <Use SSL> to allow SSL communication, a key pair is necessary. You can use the preinstalled key pair, or generate an original key pair with the machine, to set as the default key. For information on the default key, and instructions on how to generate an original key pair, see "Generating a Key Pair and Server Certificate" or "Registering a Key Pair File and Server Certificate File Installed from a Computer."

13.

Press [Up].

14.

Press [Firewall Settings] for [Network] → [MAC Address Filter].

15.

Specify the following settings → press [OK].

By specifying the settings described below, you can filter received packets and transmitted packets using MAC (Media Access Control) addresses and improve security when sending and receiving data. The possibility of a third party gaining unauthorized access can be reduced by configuring the settings for [MAC Address Filter] in accordance with the environment you are using.

If you want to deny data transmission/reception between a device with a specified MAC address and the machine, set the default policy for the transmission or reception filter so as to allow transmission/reception, and enter the MAC address to be denied. Data transmission/reception between the device having the specified MAC address and the machine will be disabled. If you want to enable data transmission/reception only with a device having a specified MAC address, set the default policy for the transmission or reception filter so as to deny transmission/reception, and enter the MAC address to be allowed. Data transmission/reception will be enabled only between the device having the specified MAC address and the machine.

IMPORTANT
Up to 100 MAC addresses can be specified.

If you want to deny transmission/reception of data with a device with a specified MAC address:

If you want to allow transmission/reception of data only with a device with a specified MAC address:

If you do not want to restrict data transmission/reception:

If you want to deny transmission/reception of data with a device with a specified MAC address:

Press [Outbound Filter] or [Inbound Filter] for [MAC Address Filter] → [On] for <Use Filter> → [Allow] for <Default Policy>.

Press [Register].

Enter the MAC address for which data transmission/reception is to be denied → press [OK].

If you want to allow transmission/reception of data only with a device with a specified MAC address:

Press [Outbound Filter] or [Inbound Filter] for [MAC Address Filter] → [On] for <Use Filter> → [Reject] for <Default Policy>.

IMPORTANT
If you set <Default Policy> to 'Reject', data transmission/reception is only possible with the device with the MAC address specified in this procedure. Be sure to confirm the MAC address when configuring the settings. If a corresponding MAC address does not exist, data transmission/reception will not be possible.

Press [Register].

Enter the MAC address for which data transmission/reception is to be allowed → press [OK].

If you do not want to restrict data transmission/reception:

Press [Outbound Filter] or [Inbound Filter] for [MAC Address Filter] → [Off] for <Use Filter>.

16.

Press [Up] → [Up] → [TCP/IP Settings].

17.

Press [Confirm Dept. ID PIN] for [TCP/IP Settings] → specify the required settings → press [OK].

Press [On] to confirm the Department ID and PIN when printing using a driver that supports Windows Vista/7. [Use HTTP] is automatically set to 'On' if you select [On].

IMPORTANT
A key pair to use for encrypted SSL communication is required to confirm Department IDs and PINs. Even if you set <Confirm Dept. ID PIN> to 'On', Department IDs and PINs cannot be confirmed if the key pair is corrupted or invalid. In this case, erase the key pair and see "Generating a Key Pair and Server Certificate" or "Registering a Key Pair File and Server Certificate File Installed from a Computer" to register a new key pair. If there is no key pair, you cannot set <Confirm Dept. ID PIN> to 'On'. You can use the preinstalled key pair, or generate an original key pair with the machine, to set as the default key. For information on the default key, and instructions on how to generate an original key pair, see "Generating a Key Pair and Server Certificate" or "Registering a Key Pair File and Server Certificate File Installed from a Computer."
