This section describes the procedure for specifying the settings common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 using the control panel.

Specify the settings required for your network environment. If you want to use both TCP/IPv4 communications and TCP/IPv6 communications, specify the settings required for both protocols.

After performing this procedure, follow the procedure in "Confirming TCP/IPv4 Settings (PING Command)" and "Confirming TCP/IPv6 Settings (PING Command)" to check whether the network settings are correct.

Press [On] to use LPD as the print application.

Set the time until the job is automatically canceled when print data cannot be received due to a problem such as a communication error.

Press [On] to use Raw as the print application.

If you want to establish bidirectional communication, press [On] for <Bidirectional Communication>.

Set the time until the job is automatically canceled when print data cannot be received due to a problem such as a communication error.

If you want to use SNTP time synchronization, press [On] for <Use SNTP>.

Enter the interval for performing time synchronization in <Polling Interval>.

Press [NTP Server Address] → enter the IP address or host name of the NTP server → press [OK].

Press [On] for <Use FTP Printing> to use FTP as the print application.

To set the user name, press [User Name]. Enter the user name for logging in to the FTP server → press [OK].

To set the password, press [Password]. Enter the password for logging in to the FTP server → press [OK]. On the Confirm screen, enter the same password to confirm the password → press [OK].

If the job name in the job log is garbled when performing FTP printing with Windows 8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2, press [On].

Specify the WSD print settings if you are using Windows Vista/Server 2008/7/Server 2008 R2/8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2.

If you want to use the WSD (Web Services on Devices) print application, press [On] for <Use WSD>.

[Use HTTP] is automatically set to 'On' if you select [On].

<Use WSD Browsing> is automatically set to 'On' if you select [On] for <Use WSD>, and enables information for the machine to be obtained using WSD.

If you want to use WSD Scan function, press [On] for <Use WSD Scan Function>. [Use HTTP] is automatically set to 'On' if you select [On]. For more information on WSD Scan function, see "WSD Scan."

If you want to enable file transfers when connecting to the internet via a firewall, press [On].

Press [On] to use IPP as the print application. [Use HTTP] is automatically set to 'On' if you select [On].

To use SSL to encrypt the IPP data, press [On] for <Use SSL>.

If you want to use the IPP authentication function, press [On] for <Use Authentication>. Press [User Name] → enter the user name to use for IPP authentication → press [OK]. Press [Password] → enter the password to use for IPP authentication → press [OK]. On the Confirm screen, enter the same password to confirm the password → press [OK].

Press [On] for <Response> to use device information from other machines, such as an Address Book or Department ID Management settings, or respond to a multicast discovery from utilities.

Set the scope name, as necessary. Press [Scope Name] → enter the scope name to use for multicast discovery → press [OK].

Press [On] to use the Remote UI, IPP printing, WSD printing, WSD scanning, and Department ID Management PIN confirmation.

In the following cases, press [On] for <Use Proxy> and specify the proxy settings according to the network environment you are using:

Press [Server Address] → enter a proxy server IP address or FQDN (for example, example.company.com) → press [OK].

In [Port Number], enter the port number of the proxy server.

If you want to use a proxy in the same domain, press [On] for <Use Proxy within the Same Domain>.

If you want to use proxy authentication, press [Set Authentication] → press [On] for <Use Proxy Auth.>. Press [User Name] → enter the user name to use for proxy authentication → press [OK]. Press [Password] → enter the password to use for proxy authentication → press [OK]. On the Confirm screen, enter the same password to confirm the password → press [OK].

By specifying the settings described below, you can filter received packets and transmitted packets using MAC (Media Access Control) addresses and improve security when sending and receiving data. The possibility of a third party gaining unauthorized access can be reduced by configuring the settings for [MAC Address Filter] in accordance with the environment you are using.

If you want to deny data transmission/reception between a device with a specified MAC address and the machine, set the default policy for the transmission or reception filter so as to allow transmission/reception, and enter the MAC address to be denied. Data transmission/reception between the device having the specified MAC address and the machine will be disabled. If you want to enable data transmission/reception only with a device having a specified MAC address, set the default policy for the transmission or reception filter so as to deny transmission/reception, and enter the MAC address to be allowed. Data transmission/reception will be enabled only between the device having the specified MAC address and the machine.

Press [On] to confirm the Department ID and PIN when printing using a driver that supports Windows Vista/7. [Use HTTP] is automatically set to 'On' if you select [On].
