2 On the TCP/IP Settings screen, press [ WINS Configuration] → specify the
following.
[On] for <WINS Resolution>: You can resolve the name with WINS. Enter the IPv4 address of a WINS server
in [ WINS Server Address ].
Enter the [ Scope ID ] settings if a scope ID is set on the computer in the network environment you are
using. The scope ID is an identifier for determining the range available to a printer or computer. The
scope ID set here is used regardless of the setting for <WINS Resolution>.
If DHCP determines the IPv4 address, the IPv4 address obtained from a DHCP server is overwritten with the
IPv4 address of a WINS server (obtained from the DHCP server), whenever possible.
If you set a scope ID, the machine cannot communicate with any computer whose scope ID is different from
the scope ID you set here.
If a scope ID is not set on any of the computers in your network environment, leave [Scope ID] blank.
