❖ When there are static IP addresses

• 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.

❒ The interface with the DHCP

setting is set by default.
• Gateway Address: oper-

ates using the address en-
tered manually.

❒ 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.

❒ 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.

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

❒ 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.
