Configuring the WINS Server

This section explains how to configure the WINS server.

The printer can be configured to register its NetBIOS name with a WINS server when the power is turned on. This enables the NetBIOS name of the printer to be specified from DeviceManager NX even in a DHCP environment.

Note

  • The WINS server is supported by Windows Server 2003 or later.

  • For details about the WINS server settings, see Windows Help.

  • If there is no reply from the WINS server, the NetBIOS name is registered by broadcast.

  • The NetBIOS name can be entered using up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
