What Happens When
the Print Server is
Turned on?
If no IP address can be assigned via boot protocols, the print server
assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf. For this purpose, the print
server picks an IP address at random from the address range
(169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf and sends a query to
the network.
If this IP address has already been assigned elsewhere in the
network, the print server will receive a message. The print server
then sends another query with a different IP address. If the IP
address is available, it is saved in the print server.
If you wish to use an IP address different from the one assigned via
ZeroConf, you can save a freely definable IP address in the print
server later on.
