Specifying Protocol Settings 2-3Using a TCP/IP Network (Windows/UNIX)2Specifying Protocol SettingsPreparation for Protocol SettingsBefore you specify the machine’s protocol settings, it is necessary to specify the IPaddress of the machine to enable communication between the machine and yourcomputers. You can use any of the following to specify the settings. Specify thesettings using one of the following methods:• The machine’s operation panel (Data Registration menu)• NetSpot (Canon software provided with the optional Network Kit III)• The Remote UI• ARP/PING commands• An FTP ClientIMPORTANT• Before you enter the IP address of your machine, contact your Network Administrator toallocate your IP address. Enter the correct IP address to avoid network problems.• In order to perform the following operations in this section, the machine’s MAC address isnecessary. To check the MAC address from the printer’s operation panel, follow theprocedure below to make a test print.1. Press [PRT.Message] ➞ [Go] on the operation panel to take the printer offline.2. Press [Menu] until appears.3. Press [Item] until appears ➞ press [Enter/Cancel].• Before you perform the following operations in this section, make sure that the machine isconnected to a power source, and connected to the network.• If you are using NetSpot or ARP/PING commands, the following steps directly allocatethe IP address of the machine. You can also use DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP to specify theIP address. When the machine is started or reset, it checks whether DHCP, BOOTP, orRARP is being used. Then, the machine allocates the IP address using the first availableprocotol.• It is not necessary for you to perform the following operations in this section, if you areusing the machine to automatically allocate the IP address. However, if you arereallocating the IP address, or if DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP cannot be used, perform thefollowing operations in this section.
