Note
If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the
DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter
the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the printer settings page. The
NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it will appear as
BRN_xxxxxx
where
xxxxxx
is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.

One of the benefits of the IPP printing protocol is that it establishes the model name of the printer when you
