Using DHCP

Note
❒
Printers that register the printer
NetBIOS name on a WINS server
must be configured for the WINS
server. See p.80 “WINS”.
❒
Supported DHCP servers are Win-
dows NT 4.0 Server Service Pack 4
or later, Windows 2000, Windows
XP Professional Server, and Net-
Ware 5/5.1, 6.
❒
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”
from 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 line, it will
result in expensive line charges.
This is because your computer
connects to the ISDN line whenev-
er 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 as-
signed by the DHCP server automati-
cally, a temporary IP address starting
with 169.254 not used on the network
can be selected automatically by the
printer.
Note
❒
The IP address assigned by the
DHCP server is given priority to
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 2 .
❒
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.
