If the DHCP server is enabled, you have to assign a valid range of IP
addresses. Fill in the “Starting Address”, “Range”, “Subnet Mask”,
“Gateway”, and “DNS” fields; then the Print Server will assign a
unique IP address to each DHCP client. However, the Print Server
itself will get an IP address from the external DHCP server or use
the configured static IP address, if the Print Server is configured for
either of these two options as described in the “IP Settings” section
above. Otherwise, the internal DHCP server will assign the first IP
address to itself if no external DHCP server is found and the Print
Server is not set up to use a static IP.
There is another option called “Auto” for the internal DHCP server.
“Auto” means that the Print Server will first search for and detect
DHCP servers within the network automatically. If a DHCP server
exists on the network, the internal DHCP server will stay idle
(disabled) and would not respond back to DHCP requests that it
receives from clients. If a DHCP server doesn’t exist on the network,
the Print Server will turn on its own internal DHCP server and assign
IP addresses to clients. In this case, the internal DHCP server will
also assign the first IP address to itself only if the Print Server is not
set for a static IP as described in the “IP Settings” section above, as
static IP takes precedence. Fill in the “Starting Address”, “Range”,
“Subnet Mask”, “Gateway”, and “DNS” fields; then the Print Server
will assign a unique IP to each DHCP client.
