Your IPv6-enabled printer has one interface with multiple addresses. The Interface ID is the 
part of the address after the prefix. The printer uses the Interface ID when assigning both the 
Link-Local address and automatic addresses that use router supplied prefix(es). It is not used 
in addresses supplied by DHCPv6. Link-Local addresses are used by nodes to communicate 
with other nodes on the same local network. There are two options to set the Interface ID:

■

The default is to have the Interface ID automatically computed from the MAC address 
associated with the interface. The ID is different for each device. This is the recommended 
method for setting the Interface ID.

■

The other option is to manually set the interface ID. The Interface ID must be 64 bits 
(8 bytes) in length, and must not contain special characters other than colons or valid 
hexadecimal digits (0 through 9, a through f, or A through F).

If you change the Interface ID, you will be prompted to reset the printer before the 

changes take effect.

The Interface ID can only be set in CentreWare IS.

To set the Interface ID using CentreWare IS:

Launch your web browser.

Enter your printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.

Click Properties.

Select the Protocols folder on the left navigation panel, and then click TCP/IP.

Click the TCP/IP (v6) button.

Do one of the following:

■

Select User Interface ID from MAC address.

■

Select Use this Interface ID.

Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.
