Connect the WorkCentre to an Ethernet Network Using TCP/IP

NOTE: Before connecting the WorkCentre to the network, make sure the other machine functions (such as copying) are operating correctly.

Step 1: Test the machine:

If the machine is not already powered on, press the power switch to the [|] (on) position. The power switch is located on the left side of the machine, towards the back.
Load an original either face-up in the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) or face-down in the back, left corner of the Document Glass.
Make two to three copies.
Perform one of the following depending on the result:
- If the copies are made successfully, connect the machine to the network as described in the steps below.
- If the copies are not made successfully, search the knowledge base to resolve the copy problem before proceeding.

Step 2: Connect the WorkCentre to the network:

Power off the machine by pressing the power switch to the [O] (off) position.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the network to the RJ45 connector. The RJ45 connector is located on the left side of the machine, towards the back.

NOTE: The Ethernet cable is not supplied with the machine.
Power on the machine by pressing the power switch to the [|] (on) position. When the machine is powered on, it will automatically obtain an IP address if an active DHCP server is on the Network. Alternatively, a static IP address can be manually assigned.

See the Related Content for additional information regarding configuring TCP/IP using DHCP or a static IP address.

NOTE: To use a static IP address, DHCP must be disabled, and then the IP address, Gateway address, Subnet Mask, and DNS Server address must be manually entered.
