Hi, this message is typically displayed because the copier is set to try to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server, but it's not connected to a network (the cable is unplugged) or it doesn't find a DHCP server (if it's just connected to a computer, for example).

If the copier is supposed to be on your network, check to make sure the network cable is plugged in.  If it is, verify that your DHCP server is working correctly.

If the copier is not networked, you can turn this message off by disabling the DHCP request.  To do that, follow these steps:

1. Press the User Tools button.
2. On the screen, touch System Settings.
3. Select the Interface Settings or Host Interface tab.
4. Touch Machine IPv4 Address
5. Touch Specify
6. Touch OK
7. Press the User Tools button to exit. 

The DHCP message should go away within a few seconds.  If it doesn't, turn the copier off then turn it back on and it will be gone.
