Using DHCP

Using DHCP
You can use the printer in a DHCP en-
vironment. You can also register the
printer NetBIOS name on a WINS
server when it is running.
Note
Printers that register the printer
NetBIOS name on a WINS server
must be configured for the WINS
server.
Supported DHCP servers are Mi-
crosoft DHCP Server included
with Windows 2000 Server, Win-
dows Server 2003, and Windows
NT 4.0, and the DHCP server in-
cluded 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 IPv4 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 IPv4
address on the configuration page.
For more information about the
configuration page, see General
Settings Guide.
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. However, this
machine can communicate with
Macintosh computers running
Mac OS X 10.2.3. or higher.
