Solution
Setting the IP address to the machine allows it to communicate with computers on the network.
The machine is set to automatically obtain IPv4 address as the factory default. If the machine does not obtain the address automatically or you want to assign the specific IP address to the machine, configure the IP address settings referring the procedures below.
The IP address (IPv4) is obtained automatically in the default setting.
This section describes the procedure for changing the IP address settings manually.

NOTE
Before settings, make sure that the machine is connected and the power of the machine is turned ON.

(1) Change <Auto Obtain> settings.
- <Select Protocol>
<Off>
Set the IP address settings not to obtain the IP address automatically.
<DHCP>
Obtains the IP address using DHCP. (The DHCP server needs to be running.)
<BOOTP>
Obtains the IP address using BOOTP. (The BOOTP daemon needs to be running.)
<RARP>
Obtains the IP address using RARP. (The RARP daemon needs to be running.)
- <Auto IP>
<Off>
Set the IP address settings not to obtain the IP address automatically.
<On>
The machine obtains the IP address automatically.

Turn OFF the machine and wait for at least 10 seconds before turning it ON again.
NOTE
- Before settings:
Make sure that the machine is connected and the power of the machine is turned ON.
- When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP:
- You can select only one from any of DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.
- After the machine is restarted, the values obtained from DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP are displayed.
(If the values have been specified previously, they overwrite the obtained ones.)
- Because it takes 2 minutes to check whether DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP are available, it is recommended that you set to <Off> when you do not use them.
- When using DHCP:
If you cycle the power of the machine, you may not be able to print. This is because a different IP address from the one that has been used is assigned.
When using DHCP, consult your network administrator and perform either of the following settings.
- Specifying the DNS Dynamic Update function
- Specifying the settings so that the same IP address is always assigned when the machine starts up
- The IP address obtained by DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP:
Even if <Auto IP> is set to <On>, the settings are specified by priority.
NOTE
- If the machine is not connected to the network properly, the IP address is not displayed.
- When the startup time setting is specified, the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are displayed after the specified time elapsed.
- When the machine is connected to a switching hub, the machine may not be able to connect to a network even though your network settings are appropriate. In this case, the startup time of the machine needs to be waited.

1. Start the Remote UI and then log on in the system manager mode.
2. Click [Menu] -> [Settings] -> [TCP/IP Settings].
3. Select the [IPv6] check box.
4. Specify the stateless address.
Clear the [Stateless Address] check box when not using the stateless address.
5. When using the manual address, perform the following settings.
When not using the manual address, proceed to Step 6.
(1) Select the [Manual Address] check box.
(2) Enter [IP Address].
(3) Enter [Prefix Length].
(4) Enter [Default Router Address] as needed.
6. Set DHCPv6.
When using the stateful address, select the [Use DHCPv6] check box.
7. Click [OK].
8. Restart the machine.
Turn OFF the machine and wait for at least 10 seconds before turning it ON again.
IMPORTANT
- IPv6
- You cannot only use IPv6 without using IPv4.
- Encrypted by IPsec (Security Architecture for Internet Protocol) is not supported.
- The address that you cannot enter in [IP Address] and [Default Router Address].
- The address that starts with the letter "ff" (Multicast Address)
- The address that starts with the number "0:0:"
NOTE- IPv6 address:
This machine can have up to nine of the following IPv6 addresses (only one address can be registered manually). In IPv6 communication, multiple IPv6 addresses can be used at the same time.
| Type | Registrable number | Overview |
| Link-Local Address | 1 | A link local address is automatically set using a specific prefix (information indicating the network the machine belongs to) "fe80::" and an interface identifier generated from the MAC address of this machine. Because a link local address is valid only within the same prefix, it cannot traverse the router. When the machine is using the IPv6, one link local address is always set. |
| Manual Address | 0 or 1 | A fixed address that you enter manually. If you want to set the IP address manually, you can specify the prefix length or the default router address. |
| Stateless Address | 0 to 6 | A stateless address is automatically set using the machine's MAC address and the prefix (information indicating the network the machine belongs to) included in the RA (Router Advertisement) notified by the router. |
| Stateful Address | 0 or 1 | A stateful address can be obtained from a DHCP server using DHCPv6. |
- Stateless Address:
When restarting the machine (when the power is turned on), the stateless address is erased.
NOTE
- If the machine is not connected to the network properly, the IP address is not displayed.
- When the startup time setting is specified, the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are displayed after the specified time elapsed.
- When the machine is connected to a switching hub, the machine may not be able to connect to a network even though your network settings are appropriate. In this case, the startup time of the machine needs to be waited.

IMPORTANT
- When the network startup time settings for the machine is specified:
After the machine is turned ON, execute the PING command when the time specified in <Startup Settings> elapsed.
- When the machine is connected to a switching hub:
You may not be able to connect the machine to a network even though your network settings are appropriate. If you delay the startup time for the machine's network, this may solve the problem.
