Resetting the TCP/IP Configuration
Use the following procedure at the control panel to reset the TCP/IP configuration to the default 
settings:
Select Printer Setup > Connection Setup > Reset Connection Setup, then press the OK button.
Setting the Interface ID
Your IPv6-enabled printer has one interface with multiple addresses. The Interface ID is the part of the 
address after the prefix. The printer uses the Interface ID when assigning both the Link-Local address 
and automatic addresses that use router supplied prefix(es). It is not used in addresses supplied by 
DHCPv6. Link-Local addresses are used by nodes to communicate with other nodes on the same local 
network. There are two options to set the Interface ID:
• The default is to have the Interface ID automatically computed from the MAC address associated 
with the interface. The ID is different for each device. This is the recommended method for setting 
the Interface ID.
• The other option is to manually set the interface ID. The Interface ID must be 64 bits (8 bytes) in 
length, and must not contain special characters other than colons or valid hexadecimal digits (0 
through 9, a through f, or A through F).
Note:If you change the Interface ID, you will be prompted to reset the printer before the changes 
take effect.
The Interface ID can only be set in CentreWare IS.
Using CentreWare IS
To set the Interface ID using CentreWare IS:
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Enter your printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.
3. Click Properties.
4. Select the Protocols folder on the left navigation panel, then click TC P / I P.
5. Click the TCP /I P  ( v 6) button.
6. Do one of the following:
• Select User Interface ID from MAC address.
• Select Use this Interface ID.
7. Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

Automatic Address Assignment
Addresses can be assigned automatically when a router is found that offers one or more prefixes.

To enable/disable automatic address assignment, use one of the following options:
• The printer’s control panel
• CentreWare IS
Enabling/Disabling Automatic Address Assignment with the Control Panel

DHCPv6
DHCPv6 is used to acquire TCP/IP information.
The following DHCPv6 options are available in CentreWare IS:
•As directed by the router - DHCPv6 is performed according to values in a router advertisement. 
This is the default setting.
•Always, for all configuration options (stateful) - Stateful DHCPv6 is always attempted, and router 
flags related to how to perform DHCP are ignored. Configuration options and an IPv6 address will 
be accepted if DHCPv6 is successful.
•Always, for all configuration options except address (stateless) - Stateless DHCPv6 is always 
attempted, and router flags related to how to perform DHCP will be ignored. Configuration options 
will be accepted if DHCPv6 is successful, but no IPv6 address will be assigned.
•Never - DHCPv6 is not used even if directed to do so by a router.
