Using DHCP

Using DHCP
You can use the printer in a DHCP environment. 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. See p.91 “WINS”.
❒
Supported DHCP servers: Microsoft DHCP server - included with Windows
2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0; and the DHCP
servers included with NetWare.
❒
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 remote net-
work printer port.
❒
DHCP relay-agent is not supported. If you use DHCP relay-agent on a net-
work via ISDN, it will result 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 printer operates using data from the DHCP server that responds first.
Using AutoNet
If the printer IP address is not automatically assigned by the DHCP server, a
temporary IP address starting with 169.254 and not used on the network can be
automatically selected by the printer.
Note
❒
The IP address assigned by the DHCP server is given priority over that select-
ed by AutoNet.
❒
You can confirm the current IP address on the configuration page. For details
about the configuration page, see “List/Test Print”,
Printer Reference
.
❒
When AutoNet is running, the NetBIOS name is not registered on the WINS
server.
❒
The printer cannot communicate with devices that do not have the AutoNet
function.
