Items:

• Ethernet Board Setting

Sets the Ethernet interface type.

Available options: 10BT/100BTX AUTO*, 100Base-TX, 10Base-T.

• TCP/IP: IP Address

Select whether to obtain the necessary information (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address) for using the TCP/IP protocol from the DHCP server automatically or manually. Check with the network system administrator for the value to specify.

Displayed as "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd" where aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd are each a 3-digit value of 000 - 255. However, "aaa" cannot be 127 or any number from 224-255.

Available options: Auto Obtain (DHCP), Auto Obtain (BOOTP), Specify

Address.

The IP address can be set when any of the interface cards (TCP/IP of

LPD, SMB, Salutation, FTP Client, Agent: Start UDP, Internet Service) using TCP/IP is activated.

• When a wrong IP address is set, the whole network might be adversely affected.

• This machine does not support Classless Inter Domain Routing

(CIDR). Hence, even if the subnet mask is set to

"255.255.240.0", it will still activate as "255.255.255.0".

• TCP/IP: Subnet Mask

Sets the necessary subnet mask for using the TCP/IP protocol.

Displayed as "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd" where aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd are each one of the following values: 000, 128, 192, 224, 240, 248, 252, 254, 255. However, the bits in the middle cannot be set to 0. Check with the network system administrator for the value to specify.

This machine does not support Classless Inter Domain Routing

(CIDR). Hence, even if the subnet mask is set to

"255.255.240.0", it will still activate as "255.255.255.0".

• TCP/IP: Gateway Address

Sets the necessary gateway address for using the TCP/IP protocol.

Displayed as "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd" where aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd are each a 3-digit value of 000 - 255. However, "aaa" cannot be 127 or any number from 224-255.

Check with the network system administrator for the value to specify. Define this setting only when it is necessary to set the gateway address. In environments where the gateway address can be set dynamically, there is no need to define the setting.

Sets the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server when asked to see the DNS while using the TCP/IP protocol. Displayed as "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd" where aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd are each a 3-digit value of 000 - 255. However, "aaa" cannot be 127 or any number from 224-255. Check with the network system administrator for the value to specify.

• Agent: IPX Start Up

Defines the setting of the agent which uses IPX as a protocol of the transport layer.

Available options: Off*, On.

Defines the setting of the agent which uses UDP as a protocol of the transport layer.

Available options: Off, On*.

Agent is necessary when using SNMP software with which you can manage multiple printers from a distance. The printer information is controlled by this agent and the SNMP software will collect the printer information from the agent.

If UDP is set to On when the IP address is not set, the IP address setting screen will be displayed. Set the IP address using this screen. At this point, if the IP address is not set using this screen,

Agent: UDP Start Up will be forcibly set to Off.

• Agent: Community String

Specifies the community name for enabling the settings from the SNMP software to this machine.

Input no more than 12 characters from A-Z, 0-9 and space.

Community String will be displayed when Agent: IPX Start Up or

Agent: UDP Start Up is set to ON.

• PCL Memory

Sets the memory capacity for the use of PCL 6. The printing speed may be increased when the memory capacity is increased. When printing documents with large amounts of data, the resolution might decrease. Increasing the memory capacity might prevent a decrease of resolution.

Available memory capacity: 2.50-32.00 MB in increments of 0.25 MB (5.0 MB*).

• When the Port Status of the port is set to Disable, the item corresponding to the port will not be selectable.

• Depending on the data volume sent from the computer, the releasing time for the computer may not be changed even if the memory capacity is increased.

• After removing the RAM module and switching on the power, the following process will be executed automatically if memory becomes insufficient compared with the previous memory setting:

(1) Change and allocate the setting values of the various memories

(e.g. Receive buffer memory).

(2) If allocation in (1) is not possible, set the status of port related to

Ethernet to Disable and reallocate.

• When increasing the memory capacity of the receive buffer, either disable the port status of the port not in use or install the RAM module.

• Error code (086-701 or 086-705) may be displayed after memory changes. Simply press the Job Status Stop button on the control panel and you can continue using the machine.

• All data stored in each of the memory capacity will be cleared if system is reset.

• If the distributed memory capacity cannot be maintained and memory becomes insufficient when the port status is at Enable, the following processes will be automatically executed:

A. Change and allocate the setting values of the various memories (e.g. Receive buffer).

B. If allocation in A is not possible, set the status of the Ethernet port to Disable and reallocate.

• When the interface board is installed, disable the port status of the port not in use.

• After removing the RAM module and switching on the power, the above process will be executed even if the memory becomes insufficient compared with the previous memory setting.
