Printing Problems (Network Related)
Among the several ways to use the equipment in the network, the simplest one is to set the equipment in the TCP/IP environment
using a DHCP server to assign IP addresses dynamically to devices. Using the default settings also assures an easier network
implementation, although you may be required to customize the settings to accommodate them in your particular environment.
Some common network configurations are shown below, along with the steps required to configure the equipment. If you perform all
the steps in the applicable checklist and still cannot print satisfactorily with the equipment, contact your dealer.
• You can change the network protocol settings with the touch panel of the equipment or with TopAccess (the Administration page).
• For the error messages that appear during the installation of the printer drivers, refer to the Basic Guide.

When IPv4 is supported: Set up the WINS server
address correctly, or enter “0.0.0.0” for the WINS server
address to disable the WINS service.
When IPv6 is supported: Enable LLMNR for the IPv6
setting referring to the TopAccess Guide.
5 When IPv4 is supported: If the client computers are
located in different segments, is the WINS service
correctly provided?
Next Step
When IPv4 is supported: Set up the WINS server and
enable it on the equipment to allow users access from a
different segment.
