Protocol Settings
0R9W-1S3
This section describes how to specify the protocol settings for the machine using the control panel. If you are configuring the settings for the first time, use the control panel of the machine.
After configuring the settings, you can change them using software other than the control panel of the machine. For more information, see "Settings/Registration Table."
TCP/IP Settings
SMB and WINS Settings
TCP/IP Settings
1.
Specify the TCP/IP settings.
If you have not entered the TCP/IP settings yet, enter them now. (For more information, see "TCP/IPv4 Settings,""TCP/IPv6 Settings," or "Settings Common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6.")
SMB and WINS Settings
To resolve a name with WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), specify the WINS settings using the following procedure. WINS is a service for associating a NetBIOS name (which is a computer name or printer name on an SMB/CIFS network) with an IP address. To use WINS, specify the IP address settings for the WINS server.
1.
Press (Settings/Registration).
2.
Press [Preferences] → [Network] → [TCP/IP Settings] → [Computer Name/Workgroup Name Settings].
3.
Specify each setting → press [OK].
[Computer Name]: Enter the name of the computer that the machine will belong to. Be sure to enter a name that is not being used by another computer or printer on the network.
[Workgroup Name]: Enter the name of the workgroup that the machine will belong to. If there are no workgroups in the environment you are using, create a workgroup in Windows and enter the name of that workgroup.
[Comment]: If necessary, you can enter a comment relating to the machine. When viewing the printer information, the comment entered here is displayed.
IMPORTANT
You cannot enter the domain name for [Workgroup Name].
You cannot enter a character string in [Computer Name] and [Workgroup Name] that includes spaces.
If you are using Windows, an access error may occur if you use only numbers for [Computer Name].
4.
Press [WINS Settings] for [TCP/IP Settings] → specify the following items → press [OK].
If you want to use WINS name resolution, press [On] for <WINS Resolution>. Enter the IP address of a WINS server in [WINS Server Address].
Set the scope ID if a scope ID is set on the computer in the network environment you are using. Press [Scope ID]. Enter the scope ID → press [OK].
IMPORTANT
If DHCP determines the IP address, the IP address obtained from a DHCP server is overwritten with the IP address of a WINS server (obtained from the DHCP server), whenever possible.
The scope ID is an identifier for determining the range available to a printer or computer. The scope ID set here is used regardless of the setting for <WINS Resolution>.
If you set a scope ID, the machine cannot communicate with any computer whose scope ID is different from the scope ID you set here.
If a scope ID is not set on any of the computers in your network environment, leave [Scope ID] blank.
