122. Using a network-connected machineUseful network programs There are several programs available to setup the network settings easily in a network environment. For the network administrator especially, managing several machines on the network is possible. Before using the programs below, set the IP address first. 1 SyncThru™ Web Service The web server embedded on your network machine allows you to do the following tasks (see "Using SyncThru™ Web Service" on page 29): • Check the supplies information and status. • Customize machine settings. • Set the email notification option. When you set this option, the machine status (toner cartridge shortage or machine error) will be sent to a certain person's email automatically. • Configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to connect to various network environments. 2 SyncThru™ Web Admin Service Web-based machine management solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of managing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network machines from any site with corporate internet access.

132. Using a network-connected machineWired network setup You must set up the network protocols on your machine to use it on your network. You can use network after connecting network cable to a corresponding port on your machine. • For models that do not have the display screen on the control panel, use the SyncThru™ Web Service or SetIP program. - See "Using SyncThru™ Web Service" on page 61. - See "Setting IP address" on page 13. • For models that have the display screen on the control panel, configure the network setting by pressing (Menu) button > Network on the control panel. 4 Printing a network configuration report You can print Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help you to set up a network. •The machine has the display screen: Press the (Menu) button on the control panel and select Network > Network Config. (Network Configuration)> Yes. •The machine does not have the display screen: Press the (Cancel or Stop/Clear) button for more than five seconds on the control panel.Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine’s MAC address and IP address. For example: • MAC Address: 00:15:99:41:A2:78 • IP Address: 192.0.0.192 5 Setting IP address First, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located on the network.
