Note If SPECIFY is selected in this step, AUTO can also be selected. If AUTO is selected, the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway setting are automatically assigned by the DHCP server on the network. This means that they do not have to be assigned manually, as is the case when SPECIFY is selected. However, please note the following points when using AUTO to assign the IP address.
Network Printing in a Windows Environment (Available only with FAX3900) Check with your network administrator to determine if there is a DHCP server available on the network. (If there is, a special IP address will be assigned by the AutoIP function. However, the copier will not be able to communicate with other devices on the network that have had ordinary IP addresses assigned to them. ) Always select SPECIFY when there is no DHCP server available. When AUTO is selected to assign the IP address, the IP address may sometimes be changed automatically. If the IP address and other settings are changed, you may not be able to print to a specified printer on the network due to a communication failure caused by a change in the address. When AUTO is selected, we recommend that you set the DHCP server to assign a fixed address to the copier.

Peer-to-Peer Printing

Using the Peer-to-Peer utility, you can connect a copier and computer to the same network. The Peer-to-Peer utility is automatically installed when you install the printer driver. The TCP/IP protocol is used.

You can connect a copier and computer via the IPP print service. The IPP print service is available with a standard installation of the operating system. HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), which is part of the TCP/IP protocol, is used. Businesses and organizations may have a firewall set up to prevent unauthorized access. However, it should normally be possible to traverse an HTTP firewall. This allows you to print to network printers beyond the firewall via an IPP connection. You can connect a copier and computer via the Port 9100 print service. The Port 9100 print service is available with a standard installation of the operating system. The TCP/IP protocol is used.
