[Use RARP]: | Obtains an IP address using RARP. (The RARP daemon needs to be running.) |
Caution
When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP
When using DHCP
- Specifying the DNS Dynamic Update function (For details on the procedure for specifying the DNS Dynamic Update function, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website(canon.com/oip-manual).)
- Specifying the settings so that the same IP address is always assigned when the printer starts up.
6-A-3. Set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the gateway address manually as needed.
When setting them manually, go back up the hierarchy by pressing [ ] (Back), and then perform the procedure in "If You Selected [Manual] in Step 5."
* Even if you are using any one of DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. If you cannot obtain information from the servers of DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP, the values specified manually are used.
Caution
When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP
(If the values were specified previously, they overwrite the obtained ones.)
6-A-4. Proceed to Step 7.
If You Selected [Manual] in Step 5
6-B-1. Select [IP Address Settings] using [ ] and [
], and then press [OK].
6-B-2. Select [IP Address], [Subnet Mask] and [Gateway Address] using [ ] and [
], press [OK].
6-B-3. [IP Address], [Subnet Mask] and [Gateway Address] are each set.
Caution
How to enter values in [IP Address], [Subnet Mask] and [Gateway Address].
1. Press [ ] and [
] to move the cursor to each field (an area separated by periods to enter three-digit numbers) in which you want to enter respective values of the address.
(The numbers in the field blinks, allowing you to enter the value.)
2. Enter the value. (Pressing [ ] increases the value and [
] decreases the value.)
3. After entering values in all the fields, press [OK] to confirm the setting.
6-B-4. Proceed to Step 7.
7. Perform a hard reset or restart the printer.
After performing a hard reset or restarting the printer, the settings are effective.

Determining Which IP Address to Assign to the Printer
Follow the steps in the procedure below to assign the IP address to the printer.
1. Open the router setup screen.
* For instructions on how to open the router setup screen, see the instruction manual that comes with the router you are using or consult the manufacturer or your network administrator.
2. Determine which IP address to assign to the printer.
Your router is preconfigured to assign a specific range of IP addresses using DHCP. Check which range of IP addresses your router assigns using DHCP and assign an IP address outside that range to the printer.
* This prevents this printer from being assigned the same IP address already assigned to another device.
Example: Router setup screen
* This example shows the range of IP addresses the router assigns using DHCP is from 192.168.11.2 to 192.168.11.65. You need to assign an IP address within a range from 192.168.11.66 to 192.168.11.254.
Caution

If you are using UNIX
Display the console screen, and then log in as a super user.
2. Enter "arp -s ⋖IP address⋗ ⋖MAC address⋗", and then press the [ENTER] key on your keyboard.
< IP address >: | Enter the IP address to assign to the printer. Specify the address with four numbers (from 0 to 255) separated with a period (.). | |
