Solution
The machine's IPv4 address can be either assigned automatically by a dynamic IP addressing protocol, such as DHCP, or entered manually. You can test the network connection if necessary.
1. Select <Menu> in the Home screen.
2. Select <Network Settings>.
- If the screen for entering a PIN appears, enter the correct PIN.
3. Select <TCP/IP Settings>
<IPv4 Settings>
<IP Address Settings>.
4. Configure IP address settings.
<Auto Acquire>
Select to automatically assign an IP address via DHCP protocol. When <On> is displayed, automatic addressing is enabled.
<Manually Acquire>
Select to configure the IP address settings by manually entering an IP address. In order to select this option, the automatic acquirement must be set to <Off>.
<Check Settings>
Select when you want to view the current IP address settings.
Automatically assigning an IP address
4-A-1. Select <Auto Acquire>.
4-A-2. Select the protocol.
- Select <Select Protocol> <DHCP>.
NOTE
If you do not want to use DHCP/BOOTP/RARP to assign an IP address
- Select <Off>. If you select <DHCP> when these services are unavailable, the machine will waste time and communications resources searching the network for these services.
4-A-3. Check that <Auto IP> is set to <On>.
- If <Off> is selected, change the setting to <On>.
4-A-4. Select <Apply>.
NOTE
- IP addresses assigned via DHCP override the address obtained via Auto IP.
Manually entering an IP address
4-B-1. Configure a setting to disable auto-acquisition.
- Select <Auto Acquire>, and set both <Select Protocol> and <Auto IP> to <Off>.
4-B-2. Select <Manually Acquire>.
4-B-3. Specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address (or default gateway).
- Enter these values in each screen, and select <Apply>.
- On how to enter text, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (canon.com/oip-manual).
IMPORTANT
Checking whether the settings are correct
- Make sure that the Remote UI screen can be displayed with your computer. If a computer is not available, you can check the connection by using the operation panel.
When you have changed the IP address after installing the printer driver
- When the MFNP port is used, the connection is maintained as long as the machine and the computer belong to the same subnet; therefore, you do not need to add a new port. When the standard TCP/IP port is used, you need to add a new port.
*If you do not know which port is used, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (canon.com/oip-manual).
Testing the Network Connection
1. Select <Menu> in the Home screen.
2. Select <Network Settings>.
- If the screen for entering a PIN appears, enter the correct PIN.
3. Select <TCP/IP Settings>
<IPv4 Settings>
<PING Command>.
4. Enter the IPv4 address of another device on the network, and select <Apply>.
If a proper connection has been established, <Received response from host.> is displayed.
