Setting the IP address allows setting the printer protocol to enable communication between the printer and the computer. You can use one of the methods below to set the protocol:

• GARO Device Setup Utility (Canon software application provided with the printer)

• ARP/PING command

• Printer operation panel

Setting TCP/IP Protocol for the Printer ÆP. 2 - 9

This procedure selects TCP/IP for the printer protocol. You can use one of the methods below to set the protocol from the computer.

• Web Browser (Remote UI)

• FTP Client

Setting the Computer ÆP. 2 - 1 7

This procedure is performed for each computer to be used for printing.

Important

TCP/IP Network Settings (Windows)

2-2

z Steps 1, 2, and 3 should be performed by the network system administrator.

z The following print applications can be used to print on a TCP/IP network: LPD,

FTP, RAW (Windows XP, Windows 2000), and IPP (Windows XP, Windows 2000,

Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95)

Setting the Printer IP Address

Before setting the printer protocol, you must set the IP address to enable

communication between the printer and the computer. You can use one of the

methods below to set the IP address. Use whichever method is easiest:

• GARO Device Setup Utility (Æ P. 2 - 4 )

• ARP/PING command (Æ P. 2 -6 )

• Printer operation panel (Æ P. 2- 7 )

Important

z When you use the GARO Device Setup Utility to perform the printer network

settings, the subnet mask and gateway address settings are set to 0.0.0.0, so use the

Remote UI or printer operation panel to make the settings for your network.

z If you are using an operating system that is not compatible with the GARO Device

Setup Utility, use another computer on the network, use the ARP/PING command,

or use the printer operation panel to perform the settings.

z The GARO Device Setup Utility must be installed on your computer in order to

use this utility to make the settings. Ask your system administrator to install the

GARO Device Setup Utility on your computer. (Æ Setup Guide)

z Before setting the IP address, confirm that the printer is switched on and connected

to the network.

z The MAC address is required to perform the setting with the GARO Device Setup

Utility or the ARP/PING command. If you need to confirm the MAC address, use

the printer operation panel to print a Status Print or Ext. I/F Print.

1. Press the Online button. The Online lamp switches off.

2. Press the Cancel Job/Utility button.

3. Press  or  to select Status Print or Ext. I/F Print then press .

z Before setting the IP address, confirm that the printer is switched on and connected

to the network.

z If you are using a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server where the IP address is

acquired automatically, use the printer operation panel to select “Automatic” for

the “IP Mode” setting, then select ON for the server in use.

z If you are using a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server, selecting the IP address for the

printer is not required. However, the IP address changes every time the printer is

powered on, so in order to access the printer every time the printer is switched on,

the IP address must be checked by Status Print or Ext. I/F Print.

Setting the Printer IP Address

2-3

Setting the IP Address with GARO Device Setup Utility

If you are using Windows, use the GARO Device Setup Utility, the software

utility provided with the printer, to perform the printer network settings.

Note

z If you are using a Macintosh computer, use the printer operation panel to perform

the settings. (Æ Setup Guide)

On the desktop, click the Start button, point to Programs, then click GARO Device Setup Utility.

Setting TCP/IP Protocol for the Printer

To set the TCP/IP protocol on the computer to be used, you can use one of

the software applications listed below. Use whichever method is easiest:

• Web Browser (Remote UI) (Æ P.2 - 9 )

• FTP Client (Æ P. 2- 15 )

Setting TCP/IP Protocol with a Web Browser (Remote UI)

Start the Web Browser, enter the following URL for the Address, then press the Enter key.

http://<Printer IP address or name>/

Example: http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/

Important

z For the Web Browser, use Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.04 or later, or use

Internet Explorer 4.01SP1 or later. However, Netscape Navigator Version 6 or later

is not compatible.

z If you are using TurboLinux 4.0, you cannot use Netscape Communicator 4.08 to

set this printer. Use another version of a Web Browser.

z A connection through a Proxy Server cannot be used. If you are using a network

environment with a Proxy Server, use the “Proxies” server setting in the Web

Browser to add the printer IP address to the “Exceptions” text box (the address not

used by the Proxy Server). (Performing this setting may differ, depending on the

network environment.)

z Use the Web Browser to enable JavaScript and Cookie so these features can be

used.

z If more than one Remote UI is being used, then the most recently used settings

remain enabled. Starting and using only one Remote UI at a time is recommended.

Note

z If you have started the Remote UI with the printer name, confirm that the DNS

environment and the board DNS settings are executed correctly.

z If the Raw mode or NetBEUI print history is displayed when the Remote UI starts,

the Document Name and User information cannot be acquired. Therefore, only the

following are displayed: “Unidentified” and Raw TCP” for the Document Name

and User settings in the Raw mode, “Unidentified” and “LSLM_USER” for the

Document Name and User settings for NetBEUI.

Note

z If a password has been set for the printer, enter the password and click the OK

button. If no password has been set, then a password entry is not required.

TCP/IP Network Settings (Windows)

From the Device Manager menu on the left, select Network.

The Network page opens.

To the left of TCP/IP, click the Edit button.

The Edit TCP/IP Protocol settings page opens.

Setting TCP/IP Protocol for the Printer

2-11

Note

Click the Frame Type list box and select Ethernet II.

z If you select Disabled, the network interface board will no longer be recognized on

the TCP/IP network.

z To use the printer with “Disabled” specified, perform the IP address setting

described in “Setting the Printer IP Address” (Æ P.2 -3 )

2-12

Select the method for setting the printer IP address.

To set the IP address, first click all the buttons off. If the IP address is to be acquired automatically, click on the button for the method to be used: DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.

Note

z If you select DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP to select the IP address, make sure that the

IP address can be set by DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP at power on after a reset. After

confirming which setting can be used, the IP address is assigned. If the check box

for DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is clicked off, the check is not performed with that

function. If none of these methods can be used, perform the IP address setting then enter the IP address into the “IP Address” text box.

TCP/IP Network Settings (Windows)

Note

z The check to determine whether DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP can be used requires

about 1 or 2 minutes to execute. Clicking off the check boxes for a method that

cannot be used is recommended.

z In order to have DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP assign the IP address, the DHCP,

BOOTP, or RARP must be booted.

Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address in the appropriate text box.

For the “IP Address” enter the IP address of the printer. For “Subnet Mask” and “Gateway Address” enter the settings for the TCP/IP network.

z When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP you cannot select more than one. The value

acquired from DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is used.

Below the IPP URL text box, click the Raw Mode Bi-direction button on. Normally this setting does not need to be changed.

Perform the DNS settings.

In the DNS Server Address text box, enter the IP address of the DNS server. Next, in the DNS Domain Name text box, enter the assigned domain name of the printer. Example: sales_dept.xyz_company.co.jp

Note

z DNS can be used for this printer in the following cases:

• When the dynamic update function is enabled by clicking DNS Dynamic

Update on (see Step 10 below).

• After the name of the SMTP server has been specified with the entry in the

SMTP Server Address box (see Step 11 below).

When the dynamic update function is used for DNS, click the DNS Dynamic Update check box on and set the following items:

DNS Host Name: Enter the host name of the printer.

(Example: sales_printer)

DNS Domain Name: Enter the assigned domain name of the printer.

(Example: sales_dept.xyz_company.co.jp)

Setting TCP/IP Protocol for the Printer

2-13

Note

z The DNS dynamic update function automatically registers the printer IP address,

as well as the specified DNS Host Name and Domain Name on the DNS Server.

z This function is used for a DNS server that can be automatically updated, i.e. for a

Dynamic DNS Server.

z By using LPR to set the DNS Host Name and DNS Domain Name, the printer can

be used without a fixed IP address.

To have the e-mail function notify the user about the printer status when paper jams or other problems occur, enter the IP address of the e-mail server into the SMTP Server Address.

z This setting requires some preliminary detailed settings. (Æ “Managing the Printer

with E-mail Notification”, P.2-34)

Press the OK button.

From the Device Manager menu on the left, select Network, then click the Reset button.

The new settings are enabled when the network interface board is re-started.

2-14

This completes the printer protocol settings.
