Domain Name Service (DNS)
The printer supports DNS through an embedded DNS 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 configured one or more DNS
servers and a local DNS domain name space database.
To set up the printer for DNS, supply up to two DNS name server IP addresses. There are two ways to
set up the printer:
DHCP
TCP/IP — See the next section.
