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 IP addresses. 
The options available in the Network settings are as follows:
• TCP/IP (Enable/Disable TCP/IP)
• IPv4 Setting (TCP/IP IPv4 settings)
• IPv6 Setting (TCP/IP IPv6 settings)
1In the Print Settings menu, press U or V to select Network.
2Press [OK]. The Network menu screen appears.
3Select TCP/IP Settings and press [OK]. The TCP/IP Settings 
menu screen appears.
Note  Check with your network administrator when selecting the 
network setting. After all network related settings have been 
done, turn the machine OFF and ON again. This is mandatory to 
make the settings effective!

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 this abstracted interface (which is not 
dependent on the link type) to exchange IP packets back and forth with 
the link layer.

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.
1In the IPv4 Setting menu, press U or V to select DHCP.
2Press [OK]. The DHCP screen  appears.
3Press U or V to select whether DHCP is enabled.
4Press [OK]. The DHCP setting is set and the IPv4 Setting menu 
reappears.
Auto-IP (Auto-IP setting)
This protocol is used for automatic assignment of an IP address when you 
connect to a small network that does not have a DHCP server. Select an 
address from the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, and if no other 
device on the network is using that address, it is used as your address.
1In the IPv4 Setting menu, press U or V to select Auto-IP.
2Press [OK]. The Auto-IP screen  appears.
3Press U or V to select whether Auto-IP is enabled.
4Press [OK]. The Auto-IP setting is set and the IPv4 Setting menu 
reappears.
IP Address (IP address setting)
An IP address is the address of a network device such as a computer and 
is included in IP packets as needed for the sending and receiving of 
Internet data (IP packets). (IP addresses can be either destination 
addresses or source addresses.)
Specifically, an IP address is a bit string consisting of a host address (or 
host section) that identifies a computer (host) connected to the Internet 
and a network address (or network section) that identifies the network to 
which that computer belongs (or more specifically, the computers 
network interface). Bit strings (IP addresses) that are unique throughout 
the entire Internet system are allocated to each computer or interface.

							4-68Using the Operation Panel 
The IP addresses currently used on the Internet (IPv4) have a fixed length 
of 32 bits.
1In the IPv4 Setting menu, press U or V to select IP Address.
2Press [OK]. The IP Address screen  appears.
3Use the arrow keys to set the IP address.
Press U or V to increase or decrease, respectively, the value at the 
blinking cursor. You can set any value between 000 and 255.
Use Y and Z to move the cursor right and left.
4Press [OK]. The IP address is stored and the IPv4 Setting menu 
reappears.
Subnet Mask (Subnet mask setting)
The subnet mask is a way of augmenting the network address section of 
an IP address. 
A subnet mask represents all network address sections as 1 and all host 
address sections as 0. The number of bits in the prefix indicates the 
length of the network address. The term prefix refers to something 
added to the beginning and, in this context, indicates the first section of 
the IP address. 
When an IP address is written, the length of the network address can 
indicated by the prefix length after a forward slash (/). For example, 24 
in the address 133.210.2.0/24. In this way, 133.210.2.0/24 denotes 
the IP address 133.210.2.0 with a 24-bit prefix (network section). 
This new network address section (originally part of the host address) 
made possible by the subnet mask is referred to as the subnet address.
1In the IPv4 Setting menu, press U or V to select Subnet Mask.
2Press [OK]. The Subnet Mask screen  appears.
3Use the arrow keys to set the subnet mask.
Press U or V to increase or decrease, respectively, the value at the 
blinking cursor. You can set any value between 000 and 255.
Use Y and Z to move the cursor right and left.
Note  When you enter the IP address, be sure to set the DHCP 
setting to Off.

4Press [OK]. The subnet mask setting is stored and the IPv4 Setting 
menu reappears.
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 different networks can be made compatible.
On TCP/IP networks, the term gateway is used to refer to routers.
1In the IPv4 Setting menu, press U or V to select Default 
Gateway.
2Press [OK]. The Default Gateway screen  appears.
3Use the arrow keys to set the default gateway.
Press U or V to increase or decrease, respectively, the value at the 
blinking cursor. You can set any value between 000 and 255.
Use Y and Z to move the cursor right and left.
4Press [OK]. The default gateway is stored and the IPv4 Setting menu 
reappears.
Bonjour (Bonjour setting)
Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, is a service that 
automatically detects computers, devices and services on an IP network. 
Bonjour, because an industry-standard IP protocol is used, allows 
devices to automatically recognize each other without an IP address 
being specified or DNS server being set. 
Bonjour also sends and receives network packets by UDP port 5353. If a 
firewall is enabled, the user must check that UDP port 5353 is left open 
so that Bonjour will run correctly. Some firewalls are set up so as to reject 
only certain Bonjour packets. If Bonjour does not run stably, check the 
firewall settings and ensure that Bonjour is registered on the exceptions 
list and that Bonjour packets are accepted. If you install Bonjour on 
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, the Windows firewall will be set up 
correctly for Bonjour.
1In the IPv4 Setting menu, press U or V to select Bonjour.
Note  Before you input the gateway, be sure to set the DHCP 
setting to Off.

IPv6 Setting (TCP/IP IPv6 settings)
This selects the settings for TCP/IP (IPv6).
TCP/IP (IPv6) is based on the current Internet protocol, TCP/IP (IPv4). 
IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol and expands the available 
address space, which resolves the problem of the lack of addresses 
under IPv4, while also introducing other improvements such as additional 
security functionality and the capacity to prioritize data transmission. 
1In the TCP/IP Settings menu, press U or V to select IPv6 
Setting.
2Press [OK]. The IPv6 Setting menu screen appears.

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.
1In the IPv6 Setting menu, press U or V to select RA(Stateless).
2Press [OK]. The RA(Stateless) screen  appears.
3Press U or V to select whether RA (Stateless) is enabled.
4Press [OK]. The RA (Stateless) setting is set and the IPv6 Setting 
menu reappears.
DHCPv6 (DHCPv6 setting)
DHCPv6 is the next-generation of the Internets Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol and supports IPv6. It extends the BOOTP startup 
protocol that defines the protocols used for transferring configuration 
information to hosts on the network. 
DHCPv6 permits the DHCP server to use its expanded functionality to 
send configuration parameters to an IPv6 node. Because the network 
addresses that can be used are allocated automatically, the IPv6 node 
management workload is reduced in systems where the administrator 
has to exercise close control over IP address allocation.
1In the IPv6 Setting menu, press U or V to select DHCPv6.
2Press [OK]. The DHCPv6 screen  appears.
3Press U or V to select whether DHCPv6 is enabled.
