Setting the Interface ID
Your IPv6-enabled printer has one interface with multiple addresses. The Interface ID appears 
after the prefix. The printer uses the Interface ID when assigning both the Link-Local address 
and automatic addresses that use router-supplied prefix(es). It is not used in addresses supplied 
by DHCPv6. Link-Local addresses are used by nodes to communicate with other nodes on the 
same local network. There are two ways to set the Interface ID:
■Automatic (default): The Interface ID is identified from the MAC address associated with 
the interface and different for each device.
■Manual: When using this option, verify that the interface ID is 64 bits (8 bytes) and 
does not contain certain special characters other than colons or valid hexadecimal digits (0 
through 9, a through f, or A through F).
Note: If you change the Interface ID, you are prompted to reset the printer before the changes 
take effect.
The Interface ID can only be set in CentreWare IS.
Using CentreWare IS
To set the Interface ID using CentreWare IS:
1.Launch your web browser.
2.Enter your printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.
3.Click Properties.
4.Select the Protocols folder on the left navigation panel, and then click TCP/IP.
5.Click the TCP/IP (v6) button.
6.Do one of the following:
■Select User Interface ID from MAC address.
■Select Use this Interface ID.
7.Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

DHCPv6
DHCPv6 is used to acquire TCP/IP information.
The following DHCPv6 options are available in CentreWare IS:

advertisement. This is the default setting.
■Always, for all configuration options (stateful) - Stateful DHCPv6 is always attempted, 
and router flags related to how to perform DHCP are ignored. Configuration options and 
an IPv6 address are accepted if DHCPv6 is successful.
■Always, for all configuration options except address (stateless) - Stateless DHCPv6 is 
always attempted, and router flags related to how to perform DHCP will be ignored. 
Configuration options are accepted if DHCPv6 is successful, but no IPv6 address is 
assigned.
