Select [ON] for the option to be used when setting the IP address.
[Use DHCP]:
Obtains an IP address using DHCP. (The DHCP server needs to be running.)

Obtains an IP address using BOOTP. (The BOOTP daemon needs to be running.)
[Use RARP]:
Obtains an IP address using RARP. (The RARP daemon needs to be running.)
NOTE
When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP
You can select only one from RARP, BOOTP, or DHCP.
Because it takes approximately two minutes to check whether DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP are available, we recommend that you set the unused protocol(s) to [Off].
When using DHCP
If you cycle the power of the printer, you may not be able to print. This is because a different IP address from the one that has been used is assigned.
When using DHCP, consult your network administrator and perform either of the following settings.
Specifying the DNS Dynamic Update function
 "Configuring the Protocol Settings"
Specifying the settings so that the same IP address is always assigned when the printer starts up

Set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the gateway address manually as needed.
When setting them manually, go back up the hierarchy by pressing [ ], and then perform the procedure in "If You Selected [Manual] in Step 4."
Even if you are using any one of DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. If you cannot obtain information from the servers of DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP, the values specified manually are used.
NOTE
When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP
You can select only one from RARP, BOOTP, or DHCP.
After the printer restarts, the values obtained from DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP are displayed.
(If the values were specified previously, they overwrite the obtained ones.)
