Using DHCP
You can use the printer in a DHCP en-
vironment. You can also register the
printer NetBIOS name on a WINS
server when it is running.
If you connect an Ethernet interface
and IEEE 1394 (IP over 1394) interface
simultaneously, pay attention to the
following:
❖ When a static IP address is set for
both interfaces
• IP Address: If interface IP ad-
dresses overlap, the Ethernet in-
terface is selected.
• Subnet Mask: If interface subnet
masks overlap, the Ethernet in-
terface is selected.
• Gateway Address: The selected
value is applied.
Note
❒ Make the gateway address set-
ting inside the subnet set in the
interface.
❒ If a value is beyond the range of
the subnet selected by the inter-
face, the machine operates us-
ing "0.0.0.0".
❖ When obtaining addresses from the
DHCP server
• IP Address, Subnet Mask: you
can configure addresses as-
signed by a DHCP server.
Note
❒ If IP addresses overlap or the
same subnet IP addresses are
selected, the effective value is
assigned only to the priori-
tized interface.
❒ Ethernet has default interface
priority.
• AutoNet: A temporary IP ad-
dress starting with 169.254 and
not used on the network, is as-
signed to the prioritized inter-
face.
Note
❒ Default interface priority is
IEEE 1394 (IP over 1394).
• Gateway Address, DNS Server
Address, and Domain Name:
You can configure the addresses
assigned by DHCP to the prior-
itized interface.
If the gateway address is be-
yond the range of the subnet se-
lected for the interface, the
machine operates using
"0.0.0.0".
Note
❒ Ethernet has default interface
priority.
