STATIC disables dynamic addressing and allows you to type a static IP address. Type a
−
Machine IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address.
DHCP allows the printer to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server or a BOOTP server that is
−
configured to accept DHCP requests. The printer requests that the server register the IP address
and hostname of the printer with the DNS server.
− BOOTP allows the printer to obtain an IP address from a BOOTP server that does not respond
to DHCP requests.
6. Under Broadcast, select Enabled as needed.
Note: If the printer does not obtain an IP address from a DHCP/BOOTP server, enable broadcast.
This situation occurs when your DHCP/BOOTP server is on a different subnet than the printer and
communicates through a router acting as a relay agent.
In the Zero-Configuration Networking pane, for Self Assigned Address, select Enabled as needed.
7.
This option instructs the printer to assign itself an address when a DHCP server does not provide
one.

Note: If you select Default All, the printer disables FIPS 140 mode.

Configuring IPv6

IPv6 hosts can automatically configure themselves when connected to a routed IPv6 network using the
Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP along
with other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local multicast
router solicitation request for configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers respond to this
request with a router advertisement packet containing network-layer configuration parameters.
