Using DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto
configuration mechanisms that the printer uses. If  you have a DHCP server on your network,
the printer automatically obtains its IP address from  that server and registers its name with
any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name  services as long as a WINS (Windows
Internet Naming Service) server IP address has been specified.
NOTE
DHCP services must be available on the  server. Refer to your system...
