1.6.3 Checking/Setting DHCP Environment
As Windows NT/Windows 2000 can activate Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), the printer can obtain address information from the DHCP server when there is
a Windows NT/Windows 2000 computer on the network.
When in a DHCP environment, use the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server at
the same time.
If you are not sure if you have a DHCP environment, follow the procedure below to
check.
If the DHCP environment has been set up, you do not need to input the IP address as it
will be automatically set.
If the DHCP environment is not set up, set the IP address by following the procedure in
"1.6.2 Using Touch Panel Display for Setting".
Procedure
Print out the Printer Settings List by referring to "12.2 How to Print Report/List".
When the following addresses under Communication Settings are obtained:
(TCP/IP:) IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address;
(WINS:) Primary WINS Server Address, Secondary WINS Server
Address:
The DHCP server and WINS server are operating. The printer IP address is set
by the DHCP server. The name listed in Host Name of SMB in the printer
settings list is registered in the WINS server.
When the following addresses under Communication Settings are not
obtained:
(TCP/IP:) IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address;
(WINS:) Primary WINS Server Address, Secondary WINS Server
Address:
There are no DHCP server and WINS server. Set the IP address manually by
referring to "1.6.2 Using Touch Panel Display for Setting".
When the following addresses under Communication Settings are obtained:
(TCP/IP:) IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address;
but the following addresses are not obtained: (WINS:) Primary WINS Server
Address, Secondary WINS Server Address
There is no WINS server. Do not use the DHCP environment as the printer
cannot be used due to a change in the IP address allocated to the machine. Set
the IP address manually by referring to "1.6.2 Using Touch Panel Display for
Setting".
