Configuring Network Settings

Setting the IP Address

Set the IP address of the product.

  1. Select the IP address assignment method.
    For wired LAN: [Network] > [Wired] > [Mode] in [IPv4] or [IPv6]
    For wireless LAN: [Network] > [Wi-Fi] > [Connections] > [Mode] in [IPv4] or [IPv6]

    Initial value:
    • [IPv4]: [DHCP]
    • [IPv6]: [Disabled]
  2. Set and check the IP address in [IP Address].
    If you select [DHCP] in [Mode], the IP address acquired from the DHCP server appears.
    If you select [Static], enter the IP address manually.
    If you are using IPv6 and select [Auto], an IP address is automatically generated.

    Initial value:
    • [IPv4]: 0.0.0.0
    • [IPv6]: ::

    • If you select [DHCP] in [Mode], [Renew Lease] appears. Tap it to update the lease time and get the IP address from the DHCP server again.
  3. As needed, set the subnet mask, default gateway, prefix length, and DNS server address.
    Initial value:
    • [IPv4] > [Netmask]: 255.255.255.0
    • [IPv4] > [Gateway]: 0.0.0.0
    • [IPv4] > [Primary DNS]: 0.0.0.0
    • [IPv4] > [Secondary DNS]: 0.0.0.0
    • [IPv6] > [Prefix Length]: 64
    • [IPv6] > [Gateway]: ::
    • [IPv6] > [Primary DNS]: ::
    • [IPv6] > [Secondary DNS]: ::

Setting the TCP/IP Port

[Interface] > [Network] > [Wired] > [Ports]

[Interface] > [Network] > [Wi-Fi] > [Ports]

Set the TCP/IP port.

Specify the port numbers to be used for ports 1 to 3 and configure the settings.

The displayed items vary depending on the settings for [Flow Control].

The intended uses for each port are as follows:

  • Port 1
    When connected to two ports in STATUS4: Receiving print data
    When connected to one port in STATUS3/STATUS5: Receiving print data and returning the status
  • Port 2
    When connected to two ports in STATUS4, returning the status
  • Port 3
    When connected to one port in STATUS3/STATUS4/STATUS5, receiving print data and returning the status

Initial value:

  • [Port1]: 1024
  • [Port2]: 1025
  • [Port3]: 9100
  • [Flow Control]: [Status4 ENQ]
  • [TCP Connection Queue]: Enabled
  • [Legacy Status for Port 9100]: Disabled
  • [Status4 Cyclic Response]: 500ms
  • [BCC]: Disabled

  • Each port (1, 2, 3) must be set to different values. Also, set a port number that is not used by any other service.
  • When you have enabled [TCP Connection Queue] (initial value), be sure to use one port connection for STATUS3, STATUS4, and STATUS5. Operation using two port connections for STATUS4 is not guaranteed.

  • The settings for [TCP Connection Queue], [Legacy Status for Port 9100], and [Status4 Cyclic Response] should typically remain unchanged.

Setting DHCP Options

[Interface] > [Network] > [Wired] > [DHCP Options]

[Interface] > [Network] > [Wi-Fi] > [DHCP Options]

Configure DHCP server options.

This can be set when [DHCP] is selected in [Mode] under [IPv4] or [IPv6].

Initial value:

  • [Hostname] (Wired): sato-wired-
  • [Hostname] (Wi-Fi): sato-wlan-
  • [Name] (Wired): sato-wired-
  • [Name] (Wi-Fi): sato-wlan-
  • [Suffix]: [Printer Serial]
  • [Domain Name]: -
  • [Hostname Option]: Disabled
  • [Domain Name Option]: Disabled
  • [FQDN Option]: Disabled
  • [User Class Option]: Disabled
  • [User Class Name]: [PTR]

  • In [Hostname] > [Name], periods can only be entered as delimiters.

Setting Wireless LAN Connections Manually

[Interface] > [Network] > [Wi-Fi] > [Connections] > [Manual]

Set the SSID and security authentication for the wireless LAN.

You can select the SSID from the wireless LAN networks displayed on the screen or enter one manually.

The displayed items vary depending on the authentication method used.

Initial value:

  • [SSID]: SATO_PRINTER
  • [Security]: [WPA3]
  • [WEP Authentication]: [Open System]
  • [KEY Index]: 1
  • [Authentication]: [Personal (PSK)]
  • [EAP Mode]: [FAST]
  • [192-bits Security]: Disabled
  • [Inner Method]: [Auto]
  • [Verify Server Cert.]: Enabled

  • The range of the key index varies depending on the connected device. If the range of the key index of the device you are connecting to is 0 to 3 and the product is set to "1", set "0" for the device you are connecting to.

  • Set the security method so that the product, host and network devices match.
  • If [6GHz] is selected in [Band], [Security] is fixed to [WPA3]. ([6GHz] is available only in North America and Japan.)
  • Depending on the length of the WEP key, the number of characters you can set for [Key 1] to [Key 4] are as follows:
    • When the key length is 64 bits
      ASCII: 5 characters
      Hexadecimal: 10 characters
    • When the key length is 128 bits
      ASCII: 13 characters
      Hexadecimal: 26 characters
  • For [PSK], you can enter 8 to 63 ASCll characters or 64 hexadecimal digits.
