Before Installing the Software
To install the software over a network connection, a Ethernet cable and the supplied CD-ROM
are required. To automatically obtain the IP address, a router with a built-in DHCP server is re-
quired.
Selecting the type and method of IP address configuration
What is an IP Address?
The IP address is an identification number allocated to computers and other devices connected
to an IP network. An IP address is an address for use on a network. There are two types of IP
address: IPv4 and IPv6.
IPv4 address
The IPv4 address consists of four fields, such as "192.168.0.113". The first three fields
(192.168.0) are fixed, and the last one (113) is variable.

2. Variable part
To manage the network, only the variable part needs to be changed.

IPv6 address
Because IPv4 addresses are running out as a result of the widespread use of the Internet, IPv6
has been developed as a next generation Internet protocol.

What is a DHCP Server?
You can configure settings to automatically obtain the IP address from a DHCP server.
A DHCP server is required on the network for the machine to receive an IP address automati-
cally.
Types of IP addresses that can be configured for the machine
(1) Configuring the Machine Settings to Obtain an IPv4 Address Automatically
(2) Configuring the Machine's IPv4 Address Manually
(3) Configuring the Machine Settings to Obtain an IPv6 Address Automatically
(4) Configuring the Machine's IPv6 Address Manually
Connecting the computer and machine
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
CTT138
2. Plug the other end of the cable into a network device, such as a hub.
3. Turn on the power.

MAC address
This is a unique address identifying the hardware.
IPv4 Configuration
You can check the IP address.
If using a DHCP server:
You can check the IPv4 address automatically assigned by a DHCP server.
If the IPv4 address is not automatically assigned by the DHCP server:
If the IPv4 address is not automatically assigned by a DHCP server, the machine automati-
cally selects an unused IPv4 address starting with "169.254.xxx.xxx" (AutoIP function).
IPv6 Configuration
You can check the Link-local address.

Quick Install for Network
For SP 202SN/203SFN/204SFN/204SN models, specify an IP address using the control panel
before installing the driver. For details about doing this, see "Changing the IP Address Settings
Using the Control Panel (SP 202SN/203SFN/204SFN/204SN only)".
In an IPv6 environment, specify an IP address using Web Image Monitor before installing the
driver. For details about configuring the IPv6 address, see "Configuring Network Settings" and
"Using Web Image Monitor" in the User Guide . For information about how to launch Web Im-
age Monitor, see "Starting Web Image Monitor".
Select [Network Quick Install (Fixed IP)] or [Network Quick Install (DHCP)]
