DNS Settings (IPv6 Settings)

Return to Overview

DNS (Domain Name Service) is a service used for associating a host name (which is a name of a computer or a printer on a TCP/IPv6 network) with a unique IPv6 address.


Remark
  • To set the machine to a network with the LASER CLASS 810, an optional network printer kit is required.

  1. Confirm that <SAME HOST/DOMAIN> is displayed, then press [OK].

<ON>: Enables you to automatically register the IPv6 address, host name, and domain name set for the machine in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating if your environment includes a dynamic DNS server. Proceed to step 21.
 
     
  1. Confirm that <REG. MANUAL ADD> is displayed, then press [OK].
 
     
  1. Press [] or [] to select <ON> or <OFF>, then press [OK].
