Network (Network settings)
This printer supports TCP/IP and TCP/IP (IPv6) protocols.
IP is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol. This printer routinely uses the 
TCP/IP (IPv4) protocol, but provides a separate setting for the next-
generation IP, IPv6. 
TCP/IP (IPv4) uses 32-bit IP addresses, but the rapid growth in the 
number of Internet users has resulted in a shortage of IP addresses. IPv6 
was developed to expand the range of available IP addresses by using 
128-bit...

TCP/IP (Enable/Disable TCP/IP)
The TCP/IP system refers to the Internet system, which has a 5-layer 
structure consisting of the interface layer, link layer, network (IP) layer, 
transport (TCP/UDP) layer and application layer.
The interface layer is a key layer in the TCP/IP system that provides an 
abstracted interface that is not dependent on the link (communication 
line: frame relay or Ethernet, etc.) to the IP module (IP layer). This means 
that the IP module can use...

DHCP (DHCP setting)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the protocol that assigns 
the information required to establish a network connection when a host 
attempts to connect to the network (Internet). This information includes 
the IP address of the local node and the default router (the router in the 
hosts own network system) and the DNS (Domain Name System) server. 
DHCP is an extension of the BOOTP (Bootstrap) startup protocol.

Default Gateway (Gateway setting)
Gateway generally refers to a protocol conversion device used to allow 
networks with differing protocol systems to interconnect. 
For example, a Gateway device is required to connect a different closed 
network (using its own protocols) to the open Internet (using TCP/IP). 
By installing a gateway, the communications protocols and data display 
modes on...

IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol and expands the available 
address space, which resolves the problem of the lack...

RA(Stateless) (RA (Stateless) setting)
The IPv6 router communicates (transmits) information such as the global 
address prefix using ICMPv6. This information is the Router 
Advertisement (RA).
ICMPv6 stands for Internet Control Message Protocol, and is a IPv6 
standard defined in the RFC 2463 Internet Control Message Protocol 
(ICMPv6) for the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Specification.
