Cautions to Take When Using in a Network

Using DHCP

You can use this printer in a DHCP environment.
• Supported DHCP servers are those which are included with Windows 2000
Server, and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008.
• DHCP relay-agent is not supported. If you use DHCP relay-agent on a net-
work via ISDN, it will result in increased line charges. This is because your
computer connects to the ISDN line whenever a packet is transferred from the
printer.
• If there is more than one DHCP server, use the same setting for all servers.
The printer operates using data from the DHCP server that responds first.
Using AutoNet
If the printer IPv4 address is not assigned by a DHCP server automatically, a
temporary IPv4 address starting with 169.254, which is not used on the network,
can be automatically selected by the printer.
If an AutoNet address is set as the printer's IP address, it changes every time you
turn on the printer. Configure the TCP/IP settings according to your network
environment.
You must change this setting to "on" to use AutoNet.
Note
❒ The IP address assigned by the DHCP server is given priority over that select-
ed by AutoNet.
❒ You can confirm the current IPv4 address on the configuration page.
❒ The printer cannot communicate with devices that do not have the AutoNet
function. However, this printer can communicate with Macintosh computers
10
running Mac OS X 10.2.3. or higher.
