I think I understand. I watched a video on YouTube and here's the way he explained it:
If the DHCP range is 192.168.1.0 -- 192.168.1.254, when a computer is placed on the network for the first time, the DHCP server will assign it a network address at the lowest end of the range. In this case the IP address would be 192.168.1.0. The next device installed on the network would have an IP address of 192.168.1.1. In other words, it just counts up from the beginning of the DHCP range.
In conclusion, if the DHCP server does not limit the DHCP range, you need to make sure the IP address of the copier is at the upper end of the DHCP range in order to avoid any IP conflicts.
I think I have that right.
