Setting Up Network Printing

Detail
Although the IP address is entered without using the DHCP server in the
procedure described here, it is also possible to automatically assign the
IP address from the DHCP server. When “Auto Input” - “DHCP Setting”
is set to “ON”, the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address set-
tings are automatically assigned from the DHCP server on the network,
so it is not necessary to assign them manually. However, note the follow-
ing when setting “DHCP Setting” to “ON”.
Check with the network administrator that the DHCP server exists. If the
DHCP server does not exist, be sure to specify settings for “IP Address”,
“Subnet Mask”, and “Default Gateway”.
If the settings for the IP address and other items have been assigned us-
ing the DHCP server, there is a possibility that they may be automatically
changed. When the settings for the IP address and other items are
changed, if the IP address has been used to specify a printer on the net-
work for printing, there is a possibility that printing may not be possible
because this machine cannot communicate with the network. If “DHCP
Setting” has been set to “ON”, it is recommended that the IP address as-
signed to this machine be fixed in the DHCP server settings.
