DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a system in which DHCP servers 
can allocate IP addresses dynamically.  Under DHCP, the server gives the printer 
(called a DHCP client)  its IP address when the printer is reset.

In Control Panel:Network, select Add Software.  

Select TCP/IP components.

In the second window that is displayed, select DHCP server.

Access your DHCP management utility:

■

  Click Start; select Programs, then Administrative 

.  Select DHCP Manager.

■

  Go to the Network Administration group and select 

.

Configure DHCP with a scope; a scope is a range of IP addresses available 
to be allocated to DHCP clients.  For example, the scope could be the IP 
addresses 192.2.194.101 through 192.2.194.254. 

Click Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, DHCP Manager.

Double-click Local Machine.

Click Scope, Create.

Enter the IP information to define the scope.  

Open the Network Administration group.

Double-click DHCP Manager.

Double-click Local Machine.

Click Scope, Create.

Enter the IP information to define the scope.

Define the lease.  A lease is a pre-determined time that the printer holds the 
IP address.  When the lease time expires, the printer queries the DHCP 
server again  to renew its lease of the IP address.  It is recommended that 
you set the lease to Unlimited.

Define a name for the scope.  You are prompted to activate the newly 
created scope.  Answer Yes.
