Setting the Printer’s IP Address
Domain Name Service (DNS)
The printer supports DNS through an embedded DNS stub resolver. The DNS resolver
protocol communicates with one or more DNS servers to request the IP address for a given
host name or the host name for a given IP address.
To use an IP host name for the printer, the system administrator must have already
configured one or more DNS servers and a local DNS domain name space database.
To set up the printer for DNS, supply an IP domain name and up to two DNS name server
IP addresses. There are two ways to set up the printer:
■
DHCP — See
page 16
.
■
TCP/IP — See the next topic,
DNS Setup Using CentreWare IS
