CAUTION:

Changing the IP address for the Device will affect NetBIOS/IP, LPR/LPD, FTP, SNMP, and

Port 9100 printing. It will also interrupt the ability to communicate with the device using the Internet
Services (series of web pages on the Device). When you change the Device's IP Address, make sure to
print out a Settings List (as stated in this guide) so that you have a record of the TCP/IP addresses for
use with workstations that need to communicate with the Device using TCP/IP.

DHCP TIP: When using DHCP, set a reasonably long Lease Time for the IP Address so that the Device
can be shut down and serviced, when required, without being continuously assigned a new IP Address.

8. Determine the method to use to supply the DNS Server IP Addresses (to resolve Host Names with IP

Addresses).

9. Determine whether or not Dynamic DNS should be enabled.

10. Determine the method to use to supply the WINS Server IP Address (to resolve Host Names with IP

Addresses exclusively in an NT environment).
