Attention (Protocol Settings)

When setting the IP address

NOTE
If you changed the IP address after installing the printer driver
Specify the port to be used again in the printer driver.
When using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP
When restarting or resetting the printer, whether the options for which [On] is selected are available is checked, and the IP address is assigned by the method that is determined to be available the soonest.
(If the values are specified manually in advance, they overwrite the obtained ones.)
Because it takes one to two minutes to check whether DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP are available, we recommend that you set the unused protocols to [Off].
Each server or daemon (the DHCP server, BOOTP daemon, or RARP daemon) must be running on the network.
Even if you are using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, specify the settings for [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], and [Gateway Address] manually. If you cannot obtain information from the servers of DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP, the values specified manually are used.
When using DHCP
If you cycle the power of the printer, you may not be able to print. This is because a different IP address from the one that was used is assigned.
When using DHCP, consult your network administrator and perform either of the following settings.
Specifying the DNS Dynamic Update function
Specifying the settings so that the same IP address is always assigned when the printer starts

When configuring the DNS Settings

IMPORTANT
DNS Dynamic Update
DNS Dynamic Update is a function that adds the IP address of the device and the names specified as the host name and domain name to the DNS server automatically.
This function can be used in the environment in which a Dynamic DNS server is being used.
When using the DNS Dynamic Update function
You need to set the IP address, host name, and domain name of the DNS server.
For details on the procedure for setting a port when using DNS
See "Values for Setting a Port" or ask your network administrator.

When configuring the Multicast Discovery Settings

NOTE
Multicast discovery
This is a function that searches for certain devices using Service Location Protocol (SLP).
By using the multicast discovery function, you can search for only the devices whose values in [Scope Name] are verified, using the service location protocol (SLP) from utility software, such as NetSpot Device Installer.
