Bizhub C308 no network setting, unable to connect

Welcome to our site!

This is quite common with Konica.

Try simply powering off the machine, unplug the machine from the network & reboot it can take up to 10 mins but eventually your network settings/TCIP tab should reappear in admin settings.

Sometimes it this doesn't work try plugging the machine into another router that supports DHCP once it establishes an IP you will have access to the network settings again.

Last resort perform a clear in service mode but this can cause further issues.

i often wonder if people just dont expect it to possibly take so long because on other brands ive switched from static to DHCP and it takes like 10 seconds to obtain a DHCP assigned address so to some even waiting 2 minutes may seem to long when like you said it can often take way longer than this.

i find it like waiting for water to boil, its best to just walk away and not watch it or it will seem like its taking even longer

It happened to me every now and then that the printer spent more than 10 minutes.


In that case I had to turn it off and on again to make it go correctly.

I'm pretty sure it's not the DHCP component that causes the slowdown. I think it's the ARP request..DHCP is pretty cut and dry, You can see the normal speed by watching a laptop NIC fail to get a address assigned..There is also BootP..which ARP replaced..Not sure why this old ass tech is still showing up..this has been around since before 1985.
