Network Connectivity

Microsoft Networking

When running WINS, the printer registers its IP address and NetBIOS Host Name with a WINS server.
WINS allows the printer to communicate using host name only. Using Microsoft Networking removes
significant overhead for systems administrators.

Notes:
• If DHCP is configured, WINS IP addresses are overridden.
• If DHCP and WINS are configured, the printer uses the IP address assigned by the DHCP server,
and ignores the address from the WINS server.
• You can use WINS and DNS address resolution at the same time.
