Printing Files Directly from Windows

B Add an IPv4 address and host name to the hosts file using the following format:

192.168.15.16 host # NP

“192.168.15.16” is the IPv4 address, “host” is the printer's host name, and “#NP” is replaced by comments. Insert a space or tab between “192.168.15.16” and “host”, between “host” and “#NP” respectively, using one line for this format.

C Save the file.

Note

❒When using a host name under Windows Server 2003 with IPv6 protocol, perform host name resolution using an external DNS server. The host file cannot be used.
