To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded LAN 
cable.
After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address and other network settings before 
installing the software. (The factory default setting for the IP address is to receive the IP address automatically when the 
machine is used in a DHCP environment.)
Network settings can be configured using "Network Settings" in the system settings (administrator) on the machine. 

X Checking the IP address of the machine

You can check the IP address of the machine by printing out the "All Custom Setting List" in the system settings.
To print out the "All Custom Setting List", see the Operation Guide.

The machine can be connected to a computer using a USB cable if the computer is a Windows computer. (The USB 
interface on the machine cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.)
The machine and computer should be connected while the printer driver is being installed. If a USB cable is connected 
before the printer driver is installed, the printer driver will not be installed correctly. For the procedure for connecting a 
USB cable, see "WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE" (page 19).

• If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing will not 

be possible. This problem can be avoided by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine.

• This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment and in a Macintosh network 

environment.

• When using this machine on an IPv6 network, enable IPv6 setting in the "Network Settings" in the system settings 

(administrator).
