To enable these features, you need to set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the unit. Important: LConsult your network administrator when setting the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. 2.10.1 Setting up automatically with a DHCP server Your situation: – When only one unit is connected to the LAN. If your network administrator manages the network with a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, it will automatically assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the unit. 1After connecting the LAN cable to the unit and the computer, connect the power cord. LThe IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway will be set automatically. 2Install Multi-Function Station on the computer that you want to use it with. See page 23 for details. Note: LYou can connect two or more units and assign IP addresses automatically with a DHCP server, but we recommend assigning static IP addresses manually for each unit to avoid unnecessary trouble. 2.10.2 Setting up manually Your situation: – When your network administrator does not manage the network with a DHCP server. – When two or more units are connected to the LAN. You need to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway manually. 1{Menu} 2Press {#}{5}{0}{0} to display “DHCP”. 3Press {0} to select “DISABLED”. i {Set} 4Set each item.

3. Printer 28 3.1.1 Printing on special media You can print not only on plain paper but also on special media (transparencies / labels / envelopes). LPlease refer to page 81 for information on recording paper. To print on transparencies Use transparencies designed for laser printing. We recommend the following: 3M ® CG3300/CG5000 LLoad transparency sheets one page at a time for printing, print-side down. LRemove each transparency after printing and place it on a flat surface to cool and to prevent it from curling. LDo not re-use transparencies that have already been fed through the unit. This includes transparencies that have been fed through and ejected without being printed on. LSome types of transparencies have instructions recommending which side to print on. If the print quality is poor, try printing on the other side of a new transparency. To print on labels Use labels designed for laser printing. We recommend the following: Aver y ® 5160/5161/5162/5163/5164/5165/5167/5168 XEROX ® LWH100/LWH110/LWH120/LWH130/LWH140 LLoad label sheets one page at a time for printing, print-side down. LRemove each label after printing. LDo not use the following types of labels: – Labels that are wrinkled, damaged or separated from the backing sheet. – Any sheet of labels that has spaces in it where some of the labels have been removed. – Labels that do not completely cover the backing sheet as follows. To print on envelopes Use envelopes designed for laser printing. We recommend the following: – High quality envelopes of 90 g/m 2 (24 lb) paper, – Envelopes that have thin, sharply creased leading edges, – Envelopes that have diagonal seams, and– Envelopes with a moisture content of 4 % to 6 % by weight. LYou can load 10 envelope of 90 g/m 2 (24 lb) paper at a time for printing, print-side down. LInsert envelopes, print-side down (1), then adjust the recording paper guides (2). LRemove each envelope after printing. Note: LWrinkles and waving may occur in some cases, even if high quality envelopes are used. LAvoid printing in high humidity. High humidity may cause the envelope to curl or seal the envelope. LStore envelopes away from moisture and humidity, where they can lay flat and their edges will not be bent or damaged. Do not use envelopes with any of the following characteristics (using these may result in paper jams): LIrregularly shaped envelopes LEnvelopes with curls, wrinkles, nicks, twists, dog- ears or other damage LEnvelopes with side seam construction LHighly textured envelopes, or envelopes with extremely shiny surfaces LEnvelopes that seal by removing a peel-off strip LEnvelopes with more than one flap to be sealed LSelf-adhesive envelopes LEnvelopes that are baggy or not sharply creased LEmbossed envelopes LEnvelopes that have previously been printed on LEnvelopes that include cotton and/or fiber material 2 1
