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.

Note

  • Printers that register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server must be configured for the WINS server. See Remote Maintenance by telnet.

  • Supported DHCP servers: Microsoft DHCP server - included with Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2.

  • 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 printer operates using data from the DHCP server that responds first.
