IP Filter

This page allows you to set the IP Filter setting. Enter the IP addresses and address masks that you want the printer to control connections from and select [Reject], [Permit], or [Off]. The IP addresses and address masks must be series of four numbers between 0 and 255.

Setting Order of IP Addresses/Address Masks
You can set a maximum of five IP addresses/address masks, and the first pair will be given a priority. If setting multiple IP addresses/address masks, enter the pair that covers the smallest area first.

The following explains how to set [IP Filter].
