DHCP transactions
■ On power up or reset, the printer sends a DHCP discover packet, indicating
its Ethernet address and requesting an IP address.
■ The DHCP server responds to the discover packet with a DHCP offer packet,
which contains an IP address from within the assigned scope and the
assigned lease.
■ The printer examines the DHCP offer packet and decides whether to
accept the lease. The printer sends a request packet, accepting the IP address
and the lease.
■ The DHCP server sends an acknowledgment packet to the printer, completing
the transaction.

There can be multiple DHCP servers on the same network, each defining its
own scopes and leases. The printer selects the first lease offered.
