IPv4 Settings Help
This page enables you to configure IPv4 settings in the printer. When you are satisfied with your selections, click Save Changes to keep the settings or Discard Changes to keep the previous settings.
Note: Changing the printer's TCP/IP settings may cause you to lose your connection to the printer. Saving changes to IP settings here overwrites existing
IP settings stored in the printer. Contact your network administrator before changing TCP/IP settings.
For more information about TCP/IP settings, see:
General
TCP/IP v4 Enabled - Select this check box to enable IPv4. Both IPv4 and IPv6 can be enabled or made unavailable independently of each other. IPv4 is enabled by default. Changes to this setting become active after you save the changes, and then restart the printer.
Note: If you make both IPv4 and IPv6 unavailable you will lose your connection to the printer. If this occurs, select Printer Setup > Connection Setup > Reset Connection Setup on the printer control panel to reset TCP/IP to the default settings.
Auto IP Enable
- On - The printer attempts to assign an IP Address using the Auto
IP Protocol. This protocol enables a network device to assign an IP Address
to the device when DHCP/BOOTP requests for IP address assignment fail, and
the device has no static IP address. The IP address assigned is in the range
of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. The default setting is
On.
- Off - The printer will not use the Auto IP protocol to assign an
IP address. This setting is recommended for use on enterprise networks.
BOOTP/DHCP Settings
With these settings, the printer acquires TCP/IP information automatically.
To use the printer with BOOTP, you must set up a reservation for the printer
on the BOOTP server.
BOOTP/DHCP
- On - The printer issues BOOTP and DHCP requests on startup. This enables the BOOTP/DHCP server to assign the printer an address.
- Off - The printer does not issue BOOTP or DHCP requests on startup. Select this setting to enter the printer's TCP/IP information manually.
DHCP Server Address - Reports
the IP Address of the DHCP server. This field does not display
if BOOTP/DHCP is Off.
DHCP Lease Expiration and DHCP
Lease Renewal - These fields report when the printer's DHCP lease expires
(if not automatically renewed) and when the printer is negotiating to
renew the lease. These fields do not display if BOOTP/DHCP is off.
TCP/IP Settings
Use these settings to enter the printer's TCP/IP information manually. Set BOOTP/DHCP to Off and click Save Changes to enter the printer's TCP/IP information.
IP Address - Enter the printer's
IP address. The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a
number from
0 - 255. The value entered must be a valid IP address and not 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255,
or any address starting with 127 or 224-255. The value in this field is overwritten
when BOOTP/DHCP is enabled and a BOOTP or DHCP server assigns a value.
Network Mask - Enter a number
for the Network Mask. The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents
a number from 0 - 255. The value in this field is overwritten when BOOTP/DHCP is enabled and a BOOTP/DHCP server assigns a value.
Router / Gateway Address - Gateway addresses are used to communicate with devices not on the same network segment. Enter the gateway host IP address. The gateway host address is the address of
a host that is used to retransmit the packets from the current network segment
to another network segment. The format for each address is x.x.x.x, where x represents a number from 0 - 255. The value in this field may
be overwritten when BOOTP/DHCP is enabled and a BOOTP or DHCP server assigns
a value.
