Address

----

❖❖❖❖

Subnet Mask

A number used to mathematically “mask” or hide an IP address on the network by eliminating those parts of the address that are alike for all the machines on the network.

❖❖❖❖

Gateway Address

A gateway is a connection or interchange point that connects two networks. A gateway address is for the router or host computer used as a gateway.

Note

❒

To get the addresses, contact your network administrator.

❖❖❖❖

Access Control Address and Access Control Mask

The Access Control Address and Access Control Mask are used to control the IP addresses that have access to the computer used for printing. If it is not necessary for you to control the access rights, select “000.000.000.000”.

Access Control

Note

❒

When the Access Control Address settings coincide with the masked result of the IP address of the computer, print jobs from that IP address can be accepted by the Network Interface Board.

❒

For example, if you assign

192.168.15.16 as the Access Control Address to the Network Interface Board, the combination of the Access Control Mask and IP address that can have access are as follows. (xxx : for any numerical value)
