You can use the printer in a DHCP environment. You can also register the print-
er NetBIOS name on a WINS server when it is running.

❖ When a static IP address is set for both interfaces

• IP Address: If interface IP addresses overlap, the Ethernet interface is se-

lected.

• Subnet Mask: If interface subnet masks overlap, the Ethernet interface is

selected.

• Gateway Address: The selected value is applied.

❒ Make the gateway address setting inside the subnet set in the interface. 
❒ If a value is beyond the range of the subnet selected by the interface, the

machine operates using “0.0.0.0”.

❖ When obtaining addresses from the DHCP server

• IP Address, Subnet Mask: you can configure addresses assigned by a

DHCP server. If IP addresses overlap or the same subnet IP addresses are
selected, the effective value is assigned only to the prioritized interface.
Ethernet has default interface priority.

• AutoNet: A temporary IP address starting with 169.254 and not used on

the network, is assigned to the prioritized interface.

• Gateway Address, DNS Server Address, and Domain Name: You can con-

figure the addresses assigned by DHCP to the prioritized interface.
If the gateway address is beyond the range of the subnet selected for the
interface, the machine operates using “0.0.0.0”.
Ethernet has default interface priority.

❖ 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 assigned by DHCP overlap, the machine uses the static IP address
interface. The interface with the DHCP setting is set by default.

• Gateway Address: operates using the address entered 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.
