When Specifying the Settings for [Receive/Print Range Setting] (Restricting the Users Who Can Print)

1.	Select the [Enable Reject Address] check box or the [Enable Permit Address] check box under [Receive/Print Range Setting]. When the [Enable Reject Address] check box is selected, only users (clients) specified in [IP Addresses] are rejected from sending print data to the printer or performing printing. When the [Enable Permit Address] check box is selected, only users (clients) specified in [IP Addresses] are permitted to send print data to the printer or perform printing. When both the [Enable Reject Address] check box and the [Enable Permit Address] check box are selected, it is rejected to receive print data to the printer or perform printing by the following kinds of IP addresses. An IP address which is out of both the setting ranges An IP address within both the setting ranges If these check boxes are cleared, all the users can send print data to the printer or perform printing. [Receive/Print Range Setting] also restricts the settings for which FTP is used.
2.	Set the IP address. (1) Enter the IP address for which you want to reject or permit to print. Enter the IP address by separating the numbers with "." (period), for example, AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD. (2) Click [Add]. You can set up to 8 addresses. You can also enter IP addresses as follows. Input example of the IP addresses Method for entering IP addresses AAA.BBB.CCC.15-AAA.BBB.CCC.18 If you want to enter the IP addresses of consecutive numbers, place "-" (hyphen) between the address of the smallest number and that of the largest number. The example on the left is equivalent to entering addresses from AAA.BBB.CCC.15 to AAA.BBB.CCC.18. NOTE When deleting a set IP address (1) Select an IP address you want to delete. (2) Click [Delete].

2.	Select the method for setting the IP address. [Single Address] Enter the IP addresses one at a time. [Multiple Address] You can set the IP address range. [Prefix Address] You can specify the IP addresses using the prefix.
3.	Set the IP address. (1) Enter the IP address for which you want to reject or permit to print. You cannot specify a multicast address and address which consists of all zeros. (2) Click [Add]. You can set up to 8 IP addresses (8 sets of IP address for when you have specified with [Multiple Address]). The input method for IP address varies depending on the setting in Step 2. Setting in Step 2 Input Method [Single Address] Enter the IP address by separating the alphanumeric characters with ":" (a colon). [Multiple Address] Enter the IP address in [First Address] and [Last Address]. The IP addresses that fall within the entered range become the targets for rejection or permission. [Prefix Address] The prefix specified in [Prefix Address] and [Prefix Length] become the targets for rejection or permission. NOTE When "0" is entered in [Prefix Length] All the IP addresses become the target for rejection or permission. When "128" is entered in [Prefix Length] The IP address of the printer becomes the target for rejection or permission. When deleting a set IP address (1) Select an IP address you want to delete. (2) Click [Delete].
