3 Connecting a Network Cable
Connect a network cable to the copier.
3.1 Types of Cable That Can Be Used
Use a Category 5 or 5E network cable.
3.2 Connecting the Network Cable
Insert a network cable into the network port.
1Insert one end of the network cable into the network port as shown in
the illustration.
2Insert the other end of the network cable into an open port on the
network hub.
About the LEDs

LED1 (LINK): This is lit when the network cable is connected
correctly. If this LED is not lit, check the
connection again, even if the copier appears to
be connected correctly. If this LED is not lit when
both ends are connected correctly, the network
cable may be damaged.
LED2 (ACT): This LED blinks when data is being transfered.

Assigning an IP Address 4
4 Assigning an IP Address
Assign an IP address to the copier from the operation panel on the copier.

Note
Always assign an IP address only after consulting your network
administrator.
4.1 Entering the IP Address from the Operation Panel
Use the 10-key pad on the operation panel to enter the IP address.
(Example) To enter “192.168.0.10”

Note
If an element of the number is less than three digits, press the key
to move the cursor into the area to the right of the current element.

4.2 Assigning an IP Address
The IP address can be assigned by the Network Setting function. This
function can also set the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway settings.
1Press the [Utility] key.
The Utility menu screen appears.
2Use the and keys to select
“NETWORK SETTING?”.
3Select [1] from the 10-key pad, to
select “IP ADDRESS”.
4Use the and keys to select
“SPECIFY”, then press the [Yes]
key.

Note
If “SPECIFY” is selected in this step, “AUTO” can also be selected.
If “AUTO” is selected, an IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway setting are automatically assigned by a DHCP server on
the network. This means that they do not have to be assigned
manually, as is the case when “SPECIFY” is selected. However,
please note the following points when using “AUTO” to assign the
IP address.

Assigning an IP Address 4
Check with your network administrator that there is a DHCP server
available on the network. (If this is the case, a special IP address
will be assigned by the AutoIP function. However, the copier will
not be able to communicate with other devices on the network that
have had ordinary IP addresses assigned to them. For details
about the AutoIP function, refer to 9.1 Product Specifications.)
Always select “SPECIFY” when there is no DHCP server available.
When “AUTO” is selected to assign the IP address, the IP address
may sometimes be changed automatically. If the IP address and
other settings are changed, you may not be able to print to a
specified printer on the network due to a communication failure
caused by the change in number. When “AUTO” is selected, we
recommend that you set the DHCP server to assign a fixed
address to the copier.
5Use the 10-key pad or and to
enter the IP address.

Note
If an IP address is already entered, it can be overwritten by a new
one.
The IP address shown in the illustration is only an example. Always
check with your network administrator before entering an IP
address for the printer.
6Press the [Yes] key to confirm the setting. “The NETWORK
SETTING?” menu appears again.
HProceed to enter the Subnet Mask setting.
7While the “NETWORK SETTING?”
menu is displayed, press [2] on the
10-key pad to select “SUBNET
MASK”.

SETTING?” menu appears again.
HProceed to enter the Default Gateway setting.
10 While the “NETWORK SETTING?”
menu is displayed, press [3] on the
10-key pad to select “GATEWAY”.
11 Use the 10-key pad or and to
enter the Default Gateway address.

Note
The Default Gateway address shown in the illustration is only an
example. Always check with your network administrator before
entering a default geteway address.
12 Press the [Yes] key to confirm the setting.
HThe “NETWORK SETTING?” menu appears again. Finally, the
specified IP address, network mask, and default gateway settings
are registered on the copier itself. In order to register these
settings, the copier must be restarted by turning it OFF/ON.

[Panel Reset] to select “PLEASE RE-START POWER SUPPLY OFF/
ON”.
