Changing or Modifying the IP Address Using CentreWare Internet Services (IS)
CentreWare IS is a printer administration and support tool using web technology. With
CentreWare IS software, you can access printer status and manage your printer over a TCP/IP
network using a web browser. For more information, go to
Explore/CentreWare IS
on the User
Documentation CD-ROM.
After setting the printer’s IP address, you can modify the TCP/IP using CentreWare IS.

Using Host Names with the 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 resolve 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 configure one or more
DNS servers and a local DNS domain name space database.
To set up the printer for DNS, supply a maximum of two DNS name server IP addresses. There
are two ways to set up the printer:
■
TCP/IP–Go to “DNS Setup Using CentreWare Internet Services.”
■
DHCP–Go to “Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS).”
