Configuring the Protocol Settings

This section describes the procedure for specifying the settings using the Remote UI.
In the Remote UI, you can specify the settings by accessing the printer from a Web browser via a network.
IMPORTANT
Before configuring the protocol settings
When configuring the protocol settings for the printer using the above software, the TCP/IP protocol must be able to be used in your network environment.
Make sure that each setting option for TCP/IP is specified, the printer and computer are connected properly, and the printer is ON.
About SMB printing
You can use SMB printing only when an SD card is installed.
NOTE
When specifying the settings using software other than the Remote UI
You can also specify the settings using the following software.
"FTP Client"
You can specify the settings by accessing the FTP server of the printer using Command Prompt.
The specifiable options vary depending on the software. See "Network Setting Items" and use software appropriate to the network environment you are using or options that you want to specify.
