NOTE
A network name for the printer cannot consist of numeric characters only - it must be a mix of alpha-numeric characters. If the Printer name is changed, the printer must be restarted for the change to take effect. If any settings require a printer restart, a reminder will be displayed when that settings is selected.
NOTE
Typically, DHCP is used to automatically obtain network settings. If IP is assigned automatically. If you choose NO, then you must set the IP yourself. The only thing you might want to change is the network name of the printer. The settings are displayed to troubleshoot possible network connection problems. One situation that would require changes is if your network does not use DHCP to automatically obtain network settings. In this case network settings have to be entered manually. If you don't know how to do this, bring in a network consultant to determine what the setting must be for the network (alternately, you can purchase a DHCP router for your network that will automatically supply the network settings - most modern modems use DHCP).
