Network Configuration 3. Type a unique Host Name for your printer. 4. Select the desired method for obtaining a dynamic IP address from the IP Address Resolution drop-down menu, or select Static to define a static IP address. 5. If you select Static, type the Machine IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address in the appropriate fields. Notes: • If you select BOOTP or DHCP, you cannot change the IP address, Subnet Mask, or default gateway. • If RARP address resolution mode is selected, you cannot change the IP address. Select Static to disable dynamic addressing. 6. Type a valid Domain Name. DNS Configuration for IPv4 1. Type an IP address for the Preferred DNS Server, Alternate DNS Server 1, and Alternate DNS Server 2. Note: If DHCP or BOOTP is the IP Address Resolution setting, you cannot change the Domain Name, Primary DNS Server, Alternate DNS Server 1, and Alternate DNS Server 2 settings. 2. Under Dynamic DNS Registration (DDNS), select Enabled. Note: If your DNS Server does not support dynamic updates, you do not need to enable DDNS. 3. Under Release Registration, select Enabled if you want the printer to release its IP address when it restarts. Zero-Configuration Networking 1.
