TCP/IP
This menu has eight sections: TCP/IP ENABLEIP ADDRESSSUBNET MASKGATEWAYIP BOOT 
TRIESIP METHODAPIPA and IPV6.
TCP/IP ENABLE
You can enable and disable the TCP/IP protocol.
IP ADDRESS=
This field displays the current IP address of the printer. If you have selected a IP METHOD of STATIC
enter the IP address that you wish to assign to the printer (check with your network administrator for the 
IP address to use). If you have selected a method other than STATIC, the printer will attempt to determine 
its IP address using the DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your printer will probably 
be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of your network. We recommend that you contact 
your network administrator for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected on.
SUBNET MASK=
This field displays the current subnet mask used by the printer. If you are not using DHCP or BOOTP to 
obtain the subnet mask, enter the desired subnet mask. Check with your network administrator for the 
subnet mask to use.
GATEWAY=
This field displays the current gateway or router address used by the printer. If you are not using DHCP 
or BOOTP to obtain the gateway or router address, enter the address you wish to assign. If you do not 
have a gateway or router, leave this field blank. Check with your network administrator if you are unsure.
IP BOOT TRIES
This field displays how many times the printer attemp to scan the network to obtain the IP address through 
the IP METHOD you have set (see IP METHOD on page 7-3). The default setting is 3.
IP METHOD
This field displays methods to obtain the IP address using TCP/IP protocols.
AUTO:
In this mode, the printer will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP 
server is configured to allocate an IP address to the printer, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP 
server will be used. If no DHCP server is available, then the printer will scan for a BOOTP server. If a 
BOOTP server is available, and it is configured correctly, the printer will take its IP address from the 
BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is not available, the printer will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP 
server also does not answer, the IP address is scanned through APIPA facility, see Using APIPA to 
configure the IP address
 on page A-3
. After it is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes for the 
printer to scan the network for a server.
STATIC
In this mode the ’s IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked to 
the assigned address.
