Printing Problems (Network Related)
Among the several ways to use the equipment in the network, the simplest one is to set the equipment in the TCP/IP
environment using a DHCP server to assign IP addresses dynamically to devices. Using the default settings also assures
an easier network implementation, although you may be required to customize the settings to accommodate them in your
particular environment.
Some common network configurations are shown below, along with the steps required to configure the equipment. If you
perform all the steps in the applicable checklist and still cannot print satisfactorily with the equipment, contact your service
representative.
You can change the network protocol settings with the touch panel of the equipment or with TopAccess (the
Administration page).
For the error messages that appear during the installation of the printer drivers, refer to the Software Installation
Guide.
