Protocol Settings - TCP/IP
This page allows you to configure the printer's host name, IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS server address. The methods for obtaining these addresses can be selected under [Get IP Address], and [Get DNS Server Address].
When setting the IP address, verify the contents of the settings with your network administrator. The addresses for [Machine IP Address], [Subnet Mask] and [Gateway Address] must be those that actually exist.
