Automatic Address Assignment
Addresses can be assigned automatically when a router is found that offers one or more
prefixes. Automatically assigned addresses are routeable. Each router-supplied prefix is
combined with the Interface ID to create an address. The use of router-supplied prefixes is
enabled by default.
To enable/disable automatic address assignment, use one of the following options:
■ The printer’s control panel
