DNS Server The IP address of the network’s domain name server (DNS).
When you use the Web or send an e-mail message, you use a domain
name to do it. For example, the URL http://www.hp.com contains the
domain name hp.com. The Internet's domain name servers (DNS)
translate the domain name into an IP address. Devices use the IP
addresses to refer to one another.
•IP Address: the domain name server’s IP address.
• Not Specified: the IP address is not specified, or the device is
initializing.
Note: Check to see if a DNS IP address appears on the network
configuration page. If no address is shown, obtain the DNS IP
address from your ISP. The DNS IP address is required for Instant
Share registration, and can be entered through the embedded Web
server.
mDNS Service Name Multicast Domain Name Server Service Name. The name used by Apple
Rendezvous to identify the HP PSC, which consists of the device name
and the MAC Address. For example, psc 2500 series (<MAC Address>).
Rendezvous is used with local and ad-hoc networks that don’t use central
DNS servers. To perform name services, Rendezvous uses a DNS
alternative called mDNS.
With mDNS, your computer can find and use any printer connected to
your local area network. It can also work with any other Ethernet-
enabled device that appears on the network.

•Set: password is specified. You must enter the password to make

•Not Set: no password is set. A password is not required for making
changes to the embedded Web server parameters.
