System Administrator Guide
Microsoft Networking
When running WINS, the printer registers its IP address and NetBIOS Host Name with a WINS server.
WINS allows the printer to communicate using host name only. Using Microsoft Networking removes
significant overhead for systems administrators.

Notes:
•
If DHCP is configured, WINS IP addresses are overridden.
•
If DHCP and WINS are configured, the printer uses the IP address assigned by the DHCP server,
and ignores the address from the WINS server.
•
You can use WINS and DNS address resolution at the same time.
