Using a TCP/IP Network
● Using RARP:
❑ Press [RARP].
❑ Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
If this information cannot be obtained via RARP after restart of the machine, the settings
entered in the initial setup operation (above) are used.
● Using BOOTP:
❑ Press [BOOTP].
❑ Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
If this information cannot be obtained via BOOTP after restart of the machine, the settings
entered in the initial setup operation (above) are used.
NOTE
• Only one of the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP settings can be selected at any one time.
• Even if you use the DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP settings, you should enter an IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway address. If this information cannot be obtained from the DHCP, BOOTP, or
RARP server, the settings entered from the control panel are used.
• If the machine is restarted after settings are made to use any of DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, the
TCP/IP Settings screen displays the IP address setting values obtained from the DHCP, BOOTP,
or RARP server. (If the IP address, host name, and domain name have been set previously,
these will be overwritten by the setting values obtained from DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.)
• If you use DHCP without the DNS dynamic update function, it is recommended that an identical
IP address be assigned to the machine at all times. (If the IP address is not identical, the host
name for the machine will not be able to correspond to the IP address.)
• It takes about two minutes to check whether the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP settings can be used.
If you do not plan to use one of these settings, it is recommended that you turn them off.
