Notes and Restrictions for IPv6 Connection

The following are notes and restrictions for IPv6 connection.

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 connection.
The machine may be assigned an unavailable address, such as site local addresses
(fec0::) and the documentation prefix (2001:db8::/32), as an autoconfigured IPv6
address or as an IPv6 DNS server address.
If the machine is under all of the following conditions, the machine may use the DNS
information for IPv4, rather than that for IPv6: (1) the machine is in Dual Stack mode,
(2) the DNS information for both IPv4 and IPv6 are configured, (3) the machine is to
be communicate with a device that is specified using the domain name, and (4) the
machine has just been turned on.
The machine may display an incorrect machine address.
Example:
(1) Either the IPv4 or IPv6 address is not displayed in Dual Stack mode.
(2) 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.
The following operating systems support IPv6 printing.
- Windows Vista
-Linux distributions with CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) that supports IPv6
WINS does not support IPv6 communication.
NetWare does not support IPv6 communication. Use IPv4 for Netware.
When a self-signed certificate is used for SSL communication, note the following
restrictions.
(1) When the machine is specified using the domain name (for IPv4 or IPv6):
Set the host name and domain name for the machine before creating a self-
signed certificate.
Example:
When the domain name is "csw.ipv6.domain.local":
Host name: csw
Domain name: ipv6.domain.local
(2) When the machine is specified using the IPv4 address:
The self-signed certificate that is created in IPv4 or Dual-Stack mode needs to
be imported.
(3) When the machine is specified using the IPv6 address:
Secure IPP (IPP-S) communication is not available.
Bonjour does not support IPv6 communication. Use IPv4 for Bonjour.
When IPv6 is enabled and IPv4 is disabled on the machine, the Browse function of
the Scan to PC (SMB) service is not available.
When the Scan to PC (FTP) service is used, file names must be ASCII characters.
In the following cases, the lpq command (for status check) and the lprm command
(for canceling) may not be available for LPD print jobs.
