Note
❒ If a static address is not selected,
or is set to 0.0.0.0, the interface
using the address assigned by
DHCP is used.
Note
❒ Printers that register the printer
NetBIOS name on a WINS server
must be configured for the WINS
server. See p.92 “WINS”.
❒ Supported DHCP servers: Micro-
soft DHCP server - included with
Windows 2000 Server, Windows
Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0;
and the DHCP servers included
with NetWare and UNIX.
❒ If you do not use the WINS server,
reserve the printer's IP address in
the DHCP server so the same IP
address is assigned every time.
❒ To use the WINS server, change
the WINS server setting to “active”
using the control panel.
❒ Using the WINS server, you can
configure the host name via the re-
mote network printer port.
❒ DHCP relay-agent is not support-
ed. If you use DHCP relay-agent
on a network via ISDN, it will re-
sult in increased line charges. This
is because your computer connects
to the ISDN line whenever a packet
is transferred from the printer.
❒ If there is more than one DHCP
server, use the same setting for all
servers. The machine operates us-
ing data from the DHCP server
that responds first.
Using AutoNet
If the printer IP address is not auto-
matically assigned by the DHCP serv-
er, a temporary IP address starting
with 169.254 and not used on the net-
work can be automatically selected by
the printer.
Note
❒ The IP address assigned by the
DHCP server is given priority over
that selected by AutoNet.
❒ You can confirm the current IP ad-
dress on the configuration page.
For more information about the
configuration page, see Printer Ref-
erence 2.
❒ When AutoNet is running, the
NetBIOS name is not registered on
the WINS server.
❒ The machine cannot communicate
with devices that do not have the
AutoNet function.
