# Using DHCP

You can use the printer in a DHCP environment. You can also register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server when it is running.

- Printers that register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server must be configured for the WINS server.

- Supported DHCP servers are Microsoft DHCP Server included with Windows Server 2003/2003/2008/2008 R2 and the DHCP server included with NetWare and UNIX.

- If you do not use the WINS server, reserve the printer's IP address in the DHCP server so the same IP address is assigned every time.

- To use the WINS server, change the WINS server setting to "active" using the control panel.

- Using the WINS server, you can configure the host name via the remote network printer port.

- DHCP relay-agent is not supported. If you use DHCP relay-agent on a network via ISDN, it will result in increased line charges. This is because your computer connects to the ISDN line whenever a packet is transferred from the printer.

- If there is more than one DHCP server, use the same setting for all servers. The machine operates using data from the DHCP server that responds first.

- DHCP servers can operate in an IPv6 environment, but they cannot be configured to allocate IPv6 addresses or obtain host names.
