Setting SNTP
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) enables the machine to synchronize its system times with public time servers located around the world. The time provided by public NTP servers is generally accurate to within milliseconds.

|
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 Настройка основных параметров аппарата.
Changes made to SNTP Settings become effective when the machine is restarted. To restart the machine, turn it OFF, wait at least 10 seconds, and then turn it ON. For instructions on how to turn the machine ON and OFF, see Chapter 2, “Before You Start Using the Machine,” in the User’s Guide.
IPv6 is not supported.

NOTE
|
|
Time synchronization is not performed during two hours before and after the selected start and end dates of the daylight saving time settings.
The default setting is ‘Off’.

Confirming SNTP Server Connection
Follow the procedure below to confirm if the TCP/IPv4 setting is properly set and the time synchronization using SNTP is working correctly.
1
Press (Additional Functions) → [System Settings] → [Network Settings].
(Additional Functions) → [System Settings] → [Network Settings].For help, see step 1 in Setting SNTP Server Settings.
2
Press [TCP IP Settings].
For help, see step 2 in Setting SNTP Server Settings.
3
Press [] or [] until [SNTP Settings] appears → press [SNTP Settings].
] or [] until [SNTP Settings] appears → press [SNTP Settings].For help, see step 3 in Setting SNTP Server Settings.
4
Press [NTP Server Check].
If <OK> is displayed, time synchronization is working correctly via SNTP.
When <Error> is displayed, check if the <NTP Server Address> setting is correct.
NOTE:
Even if you perform [NTP Server Check], the time settings will not be updated. Check that communications are possible between the machine and the NTP server.
