If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using a Domain Name System (DNS), you can also 
enter the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can 
also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network 
Configuration List. To learn how to print the Network Configuration List, see 

Printing the Network 

Configuration List on page 31. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and 
by default it will appear as “
