This section describes the procedure for setting IP v. 6.
Specify the settings for IP v. 6 using the Remote UI after specifying the settings for IP v. 4.
| Type | Registrable Number | Overview |
| Link-Local Address | 1 | A link-local address is automatically set with a combination of the specific prefix "fe80::" (information which indicates the network to which the printer belongs) and the interface identifier created from this printer's MAC address. Because this address is valid only within the same prefix, it cannot traverse the router. One link-local address is specified for this printer whenever IP v. 6 is being used. |
| Manual Address | 0 to 1 | This is an address that you can enter manually. By setting the IP address manually, you can specify the prefix length and the default router address. |
| Stateless Address | 0 to 6 | A stateless address is automatically set with a combination of the prefix included in RA (Router Advertisement) sent by the router and this printer's MAC address. |
| Stateful Address | 0 to 1 | You can obtain a stateful address from the DHCP server using DHCP v. 6. |
Caution
Caution
About the IP v. 6 address
1. Start the Remote UI, and then log in as Administrator.
2. Select [Network] from the [Device Manager] menu.
3. Click [Change] under [TCP/IP].
4. Set [IP v. 6] to [On].
5. Specify the stateless address.
Set [Stateless Address] to [Off] when not using the stateless address.
Caution
About the stateless address
6. If you want to use a manual address, specify the following settings.
If you do not want to use a manual address, proceed to Step 7.
1. Set [Manual Address] to [On].
2. Enter [IP Address].
3. Enter [Prefix Length].
4. Enter [Default Router Address] as needed.
Caution
Addresses which cannot be entered in [IP Address] and [Default Router Address]
7. Specify DHCP v. 6.
Set [DHCP v. 6] to [On] when using the stateful address.
8. If you want to use the DNS server, specify the following settings.
If you do not want to use the DNS server, proceed to Step 9.
1. Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server in [Primary DNS Server Address] in [IP v. 6].
2. Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server in [Secondary DNS Server Address] in [IP v. 6].
3. Specify [DNS Host Name] and [DNS Domain Name].
- Input Example of [DNS Domain Name]: "example.com"
9. If you want to use DNS Dynamic Update, specify the following settings.
If you do not want to use the DNS server, proceed to Step 10.
1. Set [DNS Dynamic Update] to [On].
* By specifying [DNS Host Name] and [DNS Domain Name] in LPR using DNS Dynamic Update, you can use the printer without fixing the IP address of the printer.
2. Specify the setting for [Register Stateless Address].
* If you specify [On], the stateless address is registered in the DNS server.
3. Specify the setting for [Register Manual Address].
* If you specify [On], the manual address is registered in the DNS server.
4. Specify the setting for [Register Stateful Address].
* If you specify [On], the stateful address is registered in the DNS server.
