Disabling the APIPA protocol
If the APIPA protocol is enabled, the print server will automatically allocate a Link-Local IP address in the
range (169.254.1.0 - 169.254.254.255) when the print server cannot obtain an IP address through the IP
METHOD you have set.
By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. You can disable the APIPA protocol using the BRAdmin
Professional utility or a web browser. For more information, see Changing the print server settings on page
2-5.
