You must now enter the actual IP address of the print server and the print server name. If you have edited 
the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, 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 printer settings page. The 
NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it will appear as 

BRN_xxxxxx

 where 

xxxxxx

 is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.

Note

•

The node name and the NetBIOS name is printed on the Printer Settings Page. To learn how to print 
the Printer Settings Page, see 

Printing the Printer Settings Page

 on page 7-6.

•

If you search the device using the search function in Step 8 above, disable the Personal Firewall 
software if you are using it. Once you are sure that you can print, re-start your Personal Firewall 
software.
