You must now enter the actual IP address of the print/scan server and the print/scan 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/scan server. As the print/scan server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you 
can also enter the NetBIOS name of the print/scan server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the 
network configuration 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 Network Configuration Page. To learn how 
to print the Network Configuration Page, see Printing the Network Configuration Page on page 3-7.

•

If you search for 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.
