Before entering the IP address for the machine, you must 
know the computer’s network configuration information. If 
the computer’s network configuration is set to DHCP, the 
wireless network setting should also be DHCP. Likewise, if 
the computer’s network configuration is set to Static, the 
wireless network setting should also be Static.
If your computer is set to DHCP and you want to use the 
Static wireless network setting, you must contact the 
network administrator to get the static IP address.
•For the DHCP method
If the IP address assignment method is DHCP, check if 
DHCP is shown in the Wireless Network Setting Confirm 
window. If it shows Static, click Change TCP/IP to change 
the assignment method to Receive IP address 
automatically (DHCP).
•For the Static method
If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if 
Static is shown in the Wireless Network Setting Confirm 
window. If it shows DHCP, click Change TCP/IP to enter 
the IP address and other network configuration values for 
the machine.
For example:
If the computer’s network information is as shown follows:
- IP address: 169.254.133.42
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Then, the machine’s network information should be as 
below:- IP address: 169.254.133.43
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet 
mask.)
- Gateway: 169.254.133.1

disconnect the USB cable between the computer and 
machine. Click Next.
 
If the Change PC Network Setting window appears, follow 
the steps in the window.
Click Next if you are finished with the computer’s wireless 
network settings.
If you set the computer’s wireless network on DHCP, it will 
take several minutes to receive the IP address.
