To set up the printer for DNS, you must supply an IP domain name and up to two DNS name server IP addresses. There are three ways to set up the printer for DNS:

■BOOTP. See “Setting IP parameters: RARP or BOOTP” on page 65 and “Supported BOOTP/DHCP fields” on page 68.

■DHCP. See “Setting IP parameters: DHCP” on page 66 and “Supported BOOTP/DHCP fields” on page 68.

■On any system that supports TCP/IP, you can use PhaserLink Printer Management Software. See the next topic, “Setting up the printer for DNS using PhaserLink Printer Management Software”."
