NOTE

For DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

 

operation, BOOTP must be enabled.

 

If an IP address is configured through DHCP and is

 

subsequently changed through the control panel,

 

the DHCP assigned address is released.

 

If a printer is configured through DHCP, and

 

you manually change the subnet mask or default

 

gateway through the control panel, you should

 

also change the IP address.
