Appendix

❖When there are static IP addresses and addresses assigned by DHCP

•IP Address and subnet mask: if a static IP address is the same as an address assigned by DHCP, or the static subnet mask address and the subnet mask address as- signed by DHCP overlap, the machine uses the static IP ad- dress interface.

Note

❒The interface with the DHCP setting is set by default.

•Gateway Address: oper- ates using the address en- tered manually.

Note

❒If a static address is not selected,

 

or is set to 0.0.0.0, the interface

using the address assigned by

 

 

DHCP is used.

Note

❒Printers that register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server must be configured for the WINS server. See p.110 “wins”.

❒Supported DHCP servers are Mi- crosoft DHCP Server included with Windows 2000 Server, Win- dows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0, and the DHCP server in- cluded with NetWare and UNIX.

❒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 re- mote network printer port.

❒DHCP relay-agent is not support- ed. If you use DHCP relay-agent on a network via ISDN, it will re- sult 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 machine operates us- ing data from the DHCP server that responds first.

Using AutoNet

If the printer IP address is not automatically assigned by the DHCP serv- er, a temporary IP address starting with 169.254 and not used on the network can be automatically selected by the printer.

Note

❒The IP address assigned by the DHCP server is given priority over that selected by AutoNet.

❒You can confirm the current IP ad- dress on the configuration page. For more information about the configuration page, see Printer Ref- erence.

❒When AutoNet is running, the NetBIOS name is not registered on the WINS server.

❒The machine cannot communicate with devices that do not have the AutoNet function. However, this machine can communicate with Macintosh computers running Mac OS X 10.2.3. or higher.
