❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
When there are static IP addresses
and addresses assigned by DHCP
• IP Address and subnet mask: if
a static IP address is the same as
an address assigned by DHCP,
or the static subnet mask ad-
dress and the subnet mask ad-
d r e s s a s s i g n e d b y D H C P
overlap, the machine uses the
static IP address interface.
Note
❒
The interface with the DHCP
setting is set by default.
• Gateway Address: oper-
ates using the address en-
tered manually.
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.105 “wins”.
❒
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 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 .
❒
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.
