Setting IPv6 addresses
The machine supports the following IPv6 addresses for network printing and 
managements.
• Link-local Address : Self-configured local IPv6 address (Address starts with 
FE80).
• Stateless Address : Automatically configured  IPv6 address by a network 
router.
• Stateful Address : IPv6 address configur ed by a DHCPv6 server.
• Manual Address : Manually configured IPv6 address by a user.
DHCPv6 address config uration (Stateful)
If you have a DHCPv6 server on your network, yo u can set one of the following 
options for default dyna mic host configuration.
1Press the   (Menu) button on the control panel.
2 Press Network  > TCP/IP (IPv6)  > DHCPv6 Config.
3 Press  OK to select the requ ired value you want.
• DHCPv6 Addr. : Always use DHCPv6 rega rdless of router request.
• DHCPv6 Off : Never use DHCP v6 regardless of router request.
• Router : Use DHCPv6 only when  requested by a router.

From the SyncThru™ Web Service
 
For models that do not have the disp lay screen on the control panel, you 
need to access  SyncThru™ Web Service  first using the IPv4 address and 
follow the below procedure to use IPv6.
 
1Access a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, from Windows.  Enter 
the machine IP address (h ttp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in the address field and 
press the Enter key or click Go .
2 If it’s your first time logging into  SyncThru™ Web Service you need to 
log-in as an administrator. Type in  the below default ID and password.
• ID: admin
• Password: sec00000 
3 When the  SyncThru™ Web Service  window opens, move the mouse 
cursor over the  Settings of the top menu bar and then click  Network 
Settings .
4 Click TCP/IPv6 on the left pane of the website.
5 Check the  IPv6 Protocol  check box to activate IPv6.

Wireless network setup
 
• Make sure your machine supports a wireless network. Wireless network may not be available depending on th e model. (see "Features by models" 
on page 7).
• This features available for SCX-472xW Series  only.
 
12 
Getting started
Understanding your network type
Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the 
machine at a time.
Wireless network name and network key
Wireless networks require higher security, so  when an access point is first set up, 
a network name (SSID), th e type of security used, and  a Network Key are created 
for the network. Locate this  information before proceeding with the machine 
installation.
13 
Choosing the installation type
You can install a wireless network from the machine’ s control panel or the 
computer. 
From the control panel
You can configure wireless para meters with the control panel.
• See "Using the WPS b utton" on page 154.
• See "Using the menu button" on page 157.Infrastructure mode
This is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs 
(Small Office/ Home Office). This mode uses an access point to 
communicate with the wireless machine.
Ad hoc mode
This mode does not use an access point. The wireless 
computer and wireless machine communicates directly.

1542.  Using a Network-Connected Machine
From the computer
From the computer, we recommend using a USB cable with the program 
provided in the supplied software CD 
• See "Setup using Windows" on page 159.
• See "Setup using Maci ntosh" on page 165.
• With a USB cable:  You can simply set up a  wireless network using the 
program on the supplied software  CD. Only Windows and Macintosh 
operating systems are sup ported (see "Setup using Windows" on page 159 
or "Setup using Macint osh" on page 165).
 
You can also install a wireless network in Printer Settings Utility with a USB 
cable after installing the driver (Win dows and Macintosh operating systems 
are supported).
 
• With a network cable:  You can set up a wireless network using the 
SyncThru™ Web Service program (see "Using a network cable" on page 170).
14 
Using the WPS button 
If your machine and an access point (or wireless rou ter) support Wi-Fi Protected 
Setup™ (WPS), you can ea sily configure the wireless network settings by 
pressing the   (WPS) button on the  control panel without a computer.
 
If you want to use the wireless network using the infrastructure mode, make 
sure that the network cable is disconnected from the machine. Using the 
WPS (PBC)  button or entering the PIN from the computer to connect to the 
access point (or wireless router) varies depending on the access point (or 
wireless router) you are using. Refer to  the user's guide of the access point 
(or wireless router) you are using.
 
Items to prepare
• Check if the access point (or wi reless router) supports Wi-Fi Protected 
Setup™ (WPS).
• Check if your machine supports Wi-Fi Protecte d Setup™ (WPS).
• Networked computer (PIN mode only)
Choosing your type
There are two methods available to conne ct your machine to a wireless network 
using the   (WPS) button  on the control panel.
The  Push Button Configuration (PBC)  method allows you to connect your 
machine to a wireless network by pre ssing both the   (WPS) button on the 
control panel of your machine and the  WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected 
Setup™ (WPS)-enabled access point  (or wireless router) respectively.
