Setting an IPv4 Address

There are two methods to set an IPv4 address: allocating automatically using DHCP and entering manually. Select either of the two according to your environment. Conduct a connection test as necessary.

Setting an IPv4 Address

1
Press  (Settings/Registration).
2
Press <Preferences>  <Network>  <TCP/IP Settings>  <IPv4 Settings>.
3
Press <Use IPv4> <On> <OK> to enable IPv4 settings.
4
Press <IP Address Settings> and set an IP address.
You can set both automatic allocation and manual allocation. If you set both and set <Release Address Last Acquired from DHCP Server When Address Cannot Be Acquired> to <Off>, the manually entered IP address is used when automatic IP address retrieval fails.
Automatic allocation using DHCP
Press <DHCP> or <Auto IP>. Select one of them according to your network environment. If you select both <DHCP> and <Auto IP>, automatic allocation using DHCP takes priority.
If you press <Auto IP>, the available IP address is automatically searched in the network (LAN) and the value for each item is allocated. This function allocates the IP address without using a DHCP server. However, communication outside of the router range is not available.
In an environment where both <DHCP> and <Auto IP> cannot be used, if either of the two is selected, useless communication occurs because the machine tries to check if the service is provided on the network.
Setting by manual entry
1
Confirm that both <DHCP> and <Auto IP> are canceled.
If either of the two is selected, press the button to cancel.
2
Enter the IP address, the subnet mask, and the gateway address.
Press the button corresponding to each and enter values.
5
Press <OK>.
6
Press  (Settings/Registration) <Yes>.

Conducting a Connection Test for an IPv4 Address

When the machine is connected properly, the Remote UI login screen can be displayed from the computer (Starting the Remote UI). You can conduct a connection test on the control panel of the machine.
 (Settings/Registration) <Preferences>  <Network>  <TCP/IP Settings>  <IPv4 Settings>  <PING Command>  Enter the address of any other in-use device  <Start>
When the machine is connected correctly, the <Response from the host.> message is displayed.
Even though IP addresses are properly set, if the machine is connected to a switching hub, the machine might not be connected to the network. In this case, delay the timing of the machine's communication start and try to connect again. Setting the Wait Time When Connecting to a Network
