Type of IP Address Assignment
ere are two types for assigning an IP address to the scanner.
Static IP address:
Assign the predetermined unique IP address to the scanner.
e
IP address is not changed even when turning the scanner or router
o,
so you can manage the device by IP
address.
is type is suitable for a network where many scanners are managed, such as a large oce or school.
Automatic assignment by DHCP function:
e correct IP address is automatically assigned when the communication between the scanner and router that
supports the DHCP function succeeds.
If it is inconvenient to change the IP address for a particular device, reserve the IP address in advance and then
assign it.
DNS Server and Proxy Server
If you use an Internet connection service, congure the DNS server. If you do not congure it, you need to specify
the IP address for accessing because you may fail the name resolution.
e proxy server is placed at the gateway between the network and the Internet, and it communicates to the
computer, scanner, and Internet (opposite server) on behalf of each of them. e opposite server communicates
only to the proxy server. erefore, scanner information such as the IP address and port number cannot be read
and increased security is expected.
You can prohibit access to a specic URL by using the ltering function, as the proxy server is able to check the
contents of the communication.
Method for Setting Network Connection
For connection settings for the scanner’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, proceed as follows.
Using the Control Panel:
Congure the settings using the scanner’s control panel for each scanner. Connect to the network aer conguring
the scanner’s connection settings.
