Using DHCP

Using DHCP

You can use the printer in a DHCP en- vironment. You can also register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server when it is running.

If you connect an Ethernet interface and IEEE 1394 (IP over 1394) interface simultaneously, pay attention to the following:

When a static IP address is set for both interfaces

IP Address: If interface IP ad- dresses overlap, the Ethernet in- terface is selected.

Subnet Mask: If interface subnet masks overlap, the Ethernet in- terface is selected.

Gateway Address: The selected value is applied.

Note

Make the gateway address set- ting inside the subnet set in the interface.

If a value is beyond the range of the subnet selected by the inter- face, the machine operates us- ing "0.0.0.0".

When obtaining addresses from theDHCP server

• IP Address, Subnet Mask: you can configure addresses assigned by a DHCP server.

Note

 

If IP addresses overlap or the

 

same subnet IP addresses are

 

selected, the effective value is

 

assigned only to the priori-

 

tized interface.

 

Ethernet has default interface

 

priority.

 

• AutoNet: A temporary IP ad-

 

dress starting with 169.254 and

 

not used on the network, is as-

6

signed to the prioritized inter-

face.

Note

Default interface priority is IEEE 1394 (IP over 1394).

Gateway Address, DNS Server Address, and Domain Name: You can configure the addresses assigned by DHCP to the prior- itized interface.

If the gateway address is be- yond the range of the subnet se- lected for the interface, the m achine o perates using "0.0.0.0".

Note

Ethernet has default interface priority.
