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).”
