ONFIGURATION
There are a number of configuration options available which allow 
you to change the scanner, fax and printer settings to suit your 
own needs. There are three methods of configuring your MFP: 
1. From the MFP's web page.
2. From the MFP’s Management Utility (please refer to the 
user's manual of the Network Setup Tool on the CD-ROM 
supplied).
3. From the MFP scanner control panel. 
For illustration purposes only, the configuration menu options 
shown are as accessed via the scanner control panel.
NOTE
1. If the system administrator has chosen DHCP, then the 
IP address of TCP/IP, gateway, subnet mask, and DNS 
server will be automatically given.
2. When installing the MFP for the first time, it is 
recommended that the Administrator retain the default 
system settings. The settings can be customized at a 
later date, once you are familiar with the operation and 
functionality.
NOTE
In order to maintain data integrity and ensure the MFP 
configuration is consistent, when you access a menu item via 
the MFP Network Setup Tool you are directed to the 
corresponding section of the MFP web page.
