#### If You Selected [Auto] in Step 5

1. | Select [Protocol] using [ ] and [ ], and then press [OK].
2. | Select [On] for the option to be used when setting the IP address.
[Use DHCP]: | Obtains an IP address using DHCP. (The DHCP server needs to be running.)
[Use BOOTP]: | Obtains an IP address using BOOTP. (The BOOTP daemon needs to be running.)
[Use RARP]: | Obtains an IP address using RARP. (The RARP daemon needs to be running.)
NOTE
###### When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP You can select only one from RARP, BOOTP, or DHCP. One of the following can be used: DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP. When any of the settings is turned [On], the remaining two settings are automatically turned [Off]. Because it takes approximately two minutes to check whether DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP are available, we recommend that you set the unused protocol(s) to [Off]. ###### When using DHCP If you cycle the power of the printer, you may not be able to print. This is because a different IP address from the one that has been used is assigned. When using DHCP, consult your network administrator and perform either of the following settings. Specifying the DNS Dynamic Update function "Configuring the Protocol Settings" Specifying the settings so that the same IP address is always assigned when the printer starts up

| Even if you are using any one of DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. If you cannot obtain information from the servers of DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP, the values specified manually are used.
NOTE
###### When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP You can select only one from RARP, BOOTP, or DHCP. After the printer restarts, the values obtained from DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP are displayed. (If the values were specified previously, they overwrite the obtained ones.)
