2. To allow your DHCP server to provide your WINS server address to the printer, select DHCP next to
Obtain WINS Server Address Automatically.
3. If you want to provide the WINS server address manually, type it in the Primary Server IP
Address field.
4. If desired, type the secondary WINS server address in the Secondary Server IP Address field.
5. Click Apply.
