MX-NB11  IP ADDRESS SETTING  7 - 1

Before setting the IP address, enter the print mode and set the User
program No. 5, “ENABLE DHCP,” to “2: OFF.”

When connecting a network box, use this setting in the user pro-
gram to set the IP address of the network box.

1)

With the network box connected, enter the user program from
the printer mode, and select [IP ADDRESS SETTING].

2)

When [IP ADDRESS SETTING] is selected, the display indi-
cates [IP ADDRESS], [SUBNET MASK], and [DEFAULT
GATEWAY] setting menu sequentially.

• One block is composed of 3 digits, and every menu displays 4

blocks. Use 10-key to input into each block.

• On [DEFAULT] menu, the top digit of each block is “0.”

• The cursor at the right end of the selected block flashes.

• The entered value is displayed on the flashing cursor. When

three valid numbers are entered, the cursor moves to the next
block on the right. (If the number to be entered is 10, enter 10 and
press [

1/3] key, or enter 010, and the cursor moves to the next

block. (“0” on the top digit, in this case, is not displayed.)

• The cursor is moved by entering three digits of numbers or press-

ing [

1/3] key.

• To shift between [IP ADDRESS], [SUBNET MASK], and 

[DEFAULT GATEWAY], press [

1/3] key.

Though, therefore, three digits are entered on the last block of 
[IP ADDRESS], the display is not shifted to the first block of
[SUBNET MASK].

• When the clear key is pressed, if the value of the selected block

is changed from that on selection of setting, it is reset to the value
on selection of setting.

• When the clear key is pressed with the value unchanged or reset

to the value on selection of setting, the display is shifted to the
menu of item 1. (In this case, all the changes in values made
before pressing the clear key are cleared.)

User Program Number 6: 
“IP ADDRESS SETTING” can also be used to check the machine’s
IP ADDRESS when “IP ADDRESS” is selected.

When the User Program Number 5: 
“ENABLE DHCP” is “ON” and the machine is under DHCP environ-
ment, the IP address on the display is shown with “

✔” at the tail

end.

cedures” again.

4)

Turn OFF the power of the machine.

5)

Check to confirm that the machine is turned OFF, and remove
the USB memory from the machine. 
Upgrading is completed with the above operation.

If upgrading is once failed, further upgrading may be impossible.
Use, therefore, great care not to execute the following procedures.
1

Never turn OFF the machine during upgrading.

2

Never remove the USB memory except when in “2. Upgrading
