IV. Specifying the copier settings
From the copier, specify the necessary settings for
using the image controller.
<Image Controller Settings>
1. Turn on the copier.
2. Display the Service Mode screen.
(For details on displaying the screen, refer to the
Service Manual.)
3. Touch [System 2].
4. Touch [Image Controller Setting].
5. Touch [Controller 1].
6. Touch [END].
7. Touch [Exit].
8. Turn the copier off, then on again. (If the copier
has not been turned off, the setting changes are
not applied.)
V. Connecting the copier and image con-
troller to a network
The network functions of the copier can be used
even when the image controller is installed.
There are two ways of connecting to a network from
this copier. When connection b is used, some func-
tions are limited.
Note:
• Use a network cable (Category 5E or later rec-
ommended) to connect to a computer.
• For details of the connection method, see step
18 and subsequent steps in “III. Installation pro-
cedures.”
a: Connecting the copier and image controller
with separate LAN cables
• With this connection method, the network func-
tions of the copier are not impaired, and the
image controller functions are added.
• When this connection is made, the KM Box func-
tion is unavailable.
The KM Box function is described at the end of
this manual.
• The IP address settings for the copier and image
controller are specified separately.
• In order to use the network functions of the
copier, the network settings on the copier must be
specified according to the functions to be used.
1. Use a network cable to connect the LAN port of
the copier to the hub (LAN).
2. Use a network cable to connect port 1 of the
image controller to the hub (LAN).
Note:
Depending on the connection method, the image
controller TCP/IP settings are different. For details,
refer to 9 in “VI. Specifying basic image controller
settings (IP address)”.

b: Connecting the copier and image controller
with the supplied copier LAN cable (cross-
over cable), and connecting the image con-
troller to a hub (LAN)
With this connection method, the following copier
function limitations are applied.
• AppleTalk and IPX/SPX protocols
• IPv6, IPsec, browsing for file transmissions
(SMB), and replies to broadcasts
• The 1000Base-T network speed cannot be used.
These functions can be used from the image con-
troller.
The function limitations are not applied to the image
controller.
1. Use the supplied copier LAN cable (crossover
cable) to connect the LAN port of the copier to
port 2 of the image controller.
2. Use a network cable to connect port 1 of the
image controller to the hub (LAN).
<Copier Network Settings>
Since the IP address of the copier can be set from
the image controller, it is not necessary to specify
the IP address from the copier. The IP address of
the copier appears at the end of the Configuration
Sheet for the image controller. However, the DHCP
settings must be specified from the copier in order
for the copier and image controller to communicate
internally through the crossover cable.
• Specifying the copier DHCP setting
Utility mode - “Administrator Settings” - “Network
Settings” - “TCP/IP Settings” - “IPv4 Settings” -
“Auto Input” - “DHCP Settings” - “ON”
• In order to use the network functions of the
copier, the network settings on the copier must be
specified according to the functions to be used.
Note:
• When manually specifying the IP address of the
image controller
Since the IP address of the copier is one num-
ber higher than the IP address of the image
controller, consecutively numbered IP
addresses must be available.
(Example: Image controller: 192.168.1.10;
Copier: 192.168.1.11)
However, “xxx.xxx.xxx.255” cannot be specified
for the IP address of the image controller if it is
set manually.
• When using DHCP to specify the IP address of
the image controller
Use the IP address assigned by the DHCP
server for the IP address of the image controller
and copier
• Depending on the connection method, the
image controller TCP/IP settings are different.
For details, refer to step 9 in “VI. Specifying
basic image controller settings (IP address)”.

With this connection method, be careful of the tim-
ing for turning on the image controller and the
copier. For details on the timing, refer to the end of
this manual.
