You must now enter the actual IP address of the print server and the print server name. 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.

The node name and the NetBIOS name is printed on the Printer Settings Page. To learn how to print

If you search the device using the search function in Step 8 above, disable the Personal Firewall
