Preparation for Protocol Settings 2-3Using a TCP/IP Network (Windows/UNIX)2Preparation for Protocol SettingsBefore you specify the machine's protocol settings, it is necessary to specify themachine IP address to enable communication between the machine and yourcomputers. You can use any of the following to specify the settings. Specify thesettings using the easiest method.• The machine's control panel (Additional Functions menu)• NetSpot Device Installer (Canon software included on the Network User SoftwareCD-ROM)• The ARP/PING commandsIMPORTANT• In the following operations, the machine's MAC address is necessary. To check the MACaddress from the printer control panel, follow the procedure below to make a test print.1. Press (PRINT) ➞ (OK) on the control panel; the Online indicator goesoff.2. Press (F1) repeatedly until appears.3. Press (F2) repeatedly until appears in the second lineof the display.4. Press (F4).• Before you perform the following operations in this section, check that the machine is ONand connected to the network.• If you are using NetSpot Device Installer or ARP/PING commands, the following stepsdirectly allocate the IP address to the machine. For this machine, in addition to directallocation of the IP address to the machine, you can use DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP tospecify the IP address. When the machine is started or reset, it checks whether DHCP,BOOTP, or RARP is being used, and then allocates the IP address using the firstavailable setting method. Because the machine IP address is automatically allocated atthis time, it is not necessary for you to perform the following operations in this section.However if you are reallocating the IP address, or if DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP cannot beused, perform the following operations.Settings from the Control PanelIMPORTANTSettings specified from the control panel become effective after the machine is restarted,after the procedure.PRINTF1F2F4
