Protocol Settings - TCP/IP

This page allows you to configure the printer's host name, IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, DNS server address, and WINS server address. The methods for obtaining these addresses can be selected under [Get IP Address], [Get DNS Server Address], and [Get WINS Server Address].

When setting the IP address, verify the contents of the settings with your network administrator. The addresses for [Machine IP Address], [Subnet Mask] and [Gateway Address] must be those that actually exist.
