Note
❒ Printers that register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server must be configured for the WINS
server. See p.201 “WINS”.
❒ Supported DHCP server is Windows NT 4.0 Server Service Pack 4 or later, Windows 2000 Server
and NetWare 5.
❒ If you do not use the WINS server, reserve the printer's IP address in the DHCP server so that the
same IP address is assigned every time.
❒ DHCP relay-agent is not supported. If you use DHCP relay-agent on a network via an ISDN line, it
will result in expensive line charges. This is because your computer connects to the ISDN line when-
ever a packet is transferred from the printer.
Using AutoNet
If the printer IP address is not assigned by a DHCP server automatically, a temporary IP address starting
with 169.254 which is not used on the network can be selected automatically by the printer.
Limitation
❒ You must change the setting to "on" to use AutoNet. See p.202 “AutoNet”.
Note
❒ The IP address assigned by the DHCP server is given priority to that selected by AutoNet.
❒ You can confirm the current IP address on the configuration page. For more information about the
configuration page, see p.130 “Printing a Configuration Page”.
❒ When AutoNet is running, the NetBIOS name is not registered on the WINS server.
