5. Select Enabled under Release Registration to send a release request to the DHCP and DNS servers. If
the servers grant the request, the current IP address and any dynamic DNS name are released when
the printer is turned off.
6. Under Zero-Configuration Networking, select Enabled under Self Assigned Address. This option
instructs the printer to assign itself an address if a DHCP server does not provide one.
7. Click Apply to save the new settings or Undo to retain the previous settings.
8. Click Default All to reset settings to default values. This option also disables FIPS 140 mode.
Configuring Settings for IPv6
IPv6 hosts can automatically configure themselves when connected to a routed IPv6 network using the
Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP along with
other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local multicast router

DNS server, the host name appears under Verified Host Name. The default host name is XRX_xxx,
where xxx is the MAC address of the printer.
Note: If no host name, or a different host name appears under Verified Host Name, the host name
did not successfully register to the DNS server. Ensure that your network supports direct client DNS
name registration, or configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients.
Configure your DNS server to allow dynamic updates.
4. Under Domain Name, type the name of the domain to which the printer is connected.
If the domain name successfully registers to the DNS server, the domain name appears under
