Setting an IPv4 Address
 |
The machine's IPv4 address can be either assigned automatically by a dynamic IP addressing protocol, such as DHCP, or assigned by manually entering a fixed IP address. When connecting the machine to a wired LAN, make sure that the connectors of the LAN cable are firmly inserted into the ports (Connecting to a Wired LAN).

When using DHCP
If you turn OFF the power and ON again, an IP address differing from the current one will be assigned. This may disable printing. To use DHCP, specify one of the following settings after consulting the network administrator.

Determining the IP Address to Assign to the Machine
When you want to use a fixed IP address for the machine, you can determine the IP address as shown below.
To Determine the IP Address
An IP address consists of four numbers delimited by a period (.) (example: 192.168.1.45). Each number must be in the range from 0 to 255. In general, set the first three numbers to be the same as those for the router because they are common in the network. Determine the last number (for example, 45 in 192.168.1.45) that is different from that for other devices.
Checking the Router Settings
When you want to use a fixed IP address, check the settings of the DHCP that functions to automatically assign an IP address in a network. To avoid duplication of the IP address, you need to set an IP address outside the range of IP addresses assigned by DHCP. Since a router often functions as a DHCP server, check the router settings.

Determine the IP address of the machine.
In the example screen shown in step 2, assign an IP address in the range of 192.168.11.66 to 192.168.11.254 to the machine because an IP address that the router assigns by DHCP is in the range of 192.168.11.2 to 192.168.11.65.
