Notes and Restrictions for IPv6 Connection

This section describes notes and restrictions to observe when using IPv6 connection.

If you change a printer name or a host name, because of the limitation on the number or
type of characters used, a name differing from the designated name may be assigned.
We recommend that you not change printer names or host names.
Printing via IPv6 supports the following versions of the operating systems.
- Windows Vista
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
- Windows 8.1
- Windows Server 2008
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Linux distribution that Common Unix Printing System supports IPv6 and is printable
IPv6 does not support the following protocols:
- UPnP Discovery
Some features of SMB are not supported (If you attempt to use services with a NetBIOS
name, communication may not be available in some environment).
IPv6-in-IPv4-tunneling in the machine itself is not supported.
If more than one router exist in the same subnet, a communication error may occur.
In a dual stack environment, some services may cause performance problems depending
on the network settings (for example, when you attempt to set the machine to prioritize
IPv6 in an environment where the Web server is started with IPv4).
In a multi-prefix environment (where multiple IPv6 global addresses are used), data
transmission from the machine to a device installed on another network may fail.
In a multi-prefix environment (where multiple IPv6 global addresses are used), an address
that is not assigned to the machine may be used for communication.
The machine may be assigned an unavailable address, such as site local addresses (fec0::)
or the documentation prefix (2001:db8::/32), as an autoconfigured IPv6 address or as an
IPv6 DNS server address.
The machine may use the DNS information for IPv4 rather than that for IPv6 if: the
machine is in Dual Stack mode, the DNS information for both IPv4 and IPv6 is configured,
the machine is to be communicate with a device that is specified using the FQDN, and the
machine has just been turned on.
The machine may display an incorrect machine address.
Example:
Either the IPv4 or IPv6 address is not displayed in Dual Stack mode.
A different IPv6 address is displayed.
When a document is printed via an IPv6 network, the Secure Watermark feature is not
available.
A time synchronization server cannot be specified in IPv6 format. Use the IPv4 format to
specify a time synchronization server directly.
