Updating

Updating procedure varies depending on whether the printer IP address is static or acquired by DHCP.

Important

For a static IPv4 setting

If the IP address or host name is changed, the A and PTR records are updated. If the A record is registered, CNAME is also registered. CNAMEs that can be registered are as follows:

  • Ethernet and IEEE 802.11

    RNPXXXXXX (XXXXXX represents the last 3 hexadecimal bytes of the MAC address)

    However, if CNAME (PRNXXXXXX) overlaps with the host name, CNAME will not be registered.

For DHCPv4 settings

As a substitute for the printer, the DHCP server updates the record, and one of the following occurs:

  • When the printer acquires the IP address from the DHCP server, the DHCP server updates the A and PTR records.

  • When the printer acquires the IP address from the DHCP server, the printer updates the A record, and the DHCP server updates the PTR record.

If the A record is registered, CNAME is also registered. CNAMEs that can be registered are as follows:

  • Ethernet and IEEE 802.11

RNPXXXXXX (XXXXXX represents the last 3 hexadecimal bytes of the MAC address)

For IPv6 settings

This machine updates the AAAA record and PTR record.

It also updates CNAME when the AAAA record is updated.

When a stateless address is newly set, it is automatically registered on the DNS server also.
