Using Host Names with the Domain Name Service (DNS)
The printer supports DNS through an embedded DNS resolver. The DNS resolver protocol 
communicates with one or more DNS servers to resolve the IP address for a given host name 
or the host name for a given IP address. 
To use an IP host name for the printer, the system administrator must configure one or more 
DNS servers and a local DNS domain name space database. To set up the printer for DNS, 
supply a maximum of two DNS name server IP addresses.
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)
The printer supports Dynamic DNS through DHCP. You must have DHCP enabled on the 
printer for DDNS to function. Your network’s DHCP server must also support Dynamic DNS 
updates through option 12 or option 81 support. See your network administrator for details.
1.Launch your web browser.
2.Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). 
3.Select Properties. 
4.Select the Protocols folder on the left sidebar.
5.Select TCP/IP.
6.In the BOOTP/DHCP Settings section, set the BOOTP/DHCP option to ON.
7.To enable DDNS, enter the following DDNS/WINS settings information:
■DDNS: Set to ON.
■Release Host Name: Set to NO.
■DDNS/WINS Name: Use the default name provided by Xerox or enter another name.
■Primary WINS Server (optional)
■Secondary WINS Server (optional)
8.Click Save Changes when you are finished entering the settings.

Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address 
Note:Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network. 
Contact your network administrator for more information.
If you are on a network without a DNS server, or in an environment where the network 
administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP 
address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are 
in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can manually set 
the IP address.
1.On the control panel, select Printer Setup, and then press the OK button.
2.Select Connection Setup, and then press the OK button.
3.Select Network Setup, and then press the OK button.
4.Select TCP/IP Setup, and then press the OK button.
5.Select DHCP/BOOTP, and then press the OK button to select Off.
6.Select TCP/IP Address, and then press the OK button.
7.Enter the printer’s IP address, and then press the OK button.
