Setting the IP Address
TCP/IP and IP Addresses
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/
IP addresses and additional system settings information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your
computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s IP address.
Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is important that
the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. For example, your
printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another
device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically programs an IP address into every computer and printer on the network that is
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP
addressing.
Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use the
installerontheSoftwareDisctodetectorassignanIPaddresstoyourprinter. Forfurtherinstructions,
insert the Software Disc into your computer's CD/DVD drive. After the Installer starts, follow the
prompts for installation.
Note:
For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established TCP/IP network.
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address
There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:
❏ DHCP
❏ DHCP/Auto IP (enabled by default)
Printer Connection and Software Installation 43

Setting Up the Printer for Shared Printing
One way to make a new printer available for other computers on a network is to use the Software Disc
supplied with your printer. Using the supplied CD is helpful in a way that it will install utilities
including Status Monitor as well. The following, however, describes the procedures for sharing a
printer on a network without using the supplied CD.
To set up a printer to be shared on a network, you need to set up the printer for network sharing and
install print drivers for the printer on every computer on the network.
Note:
You need to purchase an additional Ethernet cable at your own cost to connect a printer to an Ethernet
network.

About Print Media
Using paper that is not appropriate for the printer can cause paper jams, image quality problems, or
printer failures. To achieve the best performance from your printer, we recommend you use only the
paper described in this section.
Whenusingpaperotherthanthat recommended, contactourlocalrepresentativeofficeorauthorized
dealer.
Print Media Usage Guidelines
The papertray accommodatesvarious sizes andtypesof paper and other specialty media. Follow these
guidelines when loading paper and media:
❏ Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.
❏ For 60 to 135 gsm (16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long, where the paper fibers run along the length
of the paper, is recommended. For paper heavier than 135 gsm (36 lb bond), grain short, where the
paper fibers run along the width of the paper, is preferred.
❏ Envelopes can be printed from the paper tray and the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI).
❏ Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.
❏ Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
❏ Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with
release strips.
❏ Print all envelopes single-sided only.
❏ Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
❏ When loading print media in the paper tray, do not load it above the fill line on the paper width
guides of the paper tray.
❏ Slide the paper width guides to adjust to the paper size.
❏ If excessive jams or wrinkles occur, use paper or other media from a new package.
Printing Basics 115
AL-MX200 Series User’s Guide
Warning:
!
Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper.
When paper jam occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.

❏ Width: 148–215.9 mm (5.83–8.50 inches)
❏ Length: 210–355.6 mm (8.27–14.00 inches)
The supported paper weight ranges from 60 to 105 gsm.
Follow the guidelines below when loading source documents into the ADF:
❏ Load documents face up so that the top of the document enters the printer first.
❏ Place only loose sheets of paper in the ADF.
❏ Adjust the document guides so that they fit against the documents.
❏ Insert paper in the document feeder tray only when the ink on the paper is completely dry.

Print Media Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print
quality.
❏ Store print media in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and
fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to
visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
❏ Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
❏ Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing print media.
❏ Store print media flat. Print media should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
❏ Avoid having food or drinks in the area where print media is stored or handled.
❏ Donotopensealedpackagesofpaperuntilyouarereadytoloadthemintotheprinter. Leavepaper
in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an
inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
❏ Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the bag and
reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags.
Supported Print Media
Using unsuitable print media may lead to paper jams, poor print quality, breakdown and damage to
your printer. To use the features of your printer effectively, use the suggested print media that is
recommended here.
Important:
The toner may come off the print media, if it gets wet by water, rain, steam and so on. For more
information, contact our local representative office or authorized dealer.
