Checking Your Network Environment

Refer to the following diagram examples to conﬁrm the network environment that is connected to the machine, and then perform the necessary operations for that environment.

Sample Windows Network

Before You Start

With a NetWare Server

In a network environment like the one below, a NetWare, TCP/IP, or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) protocol can be used for printing. Multiple protocols can also be used at the same time. NetBIOS is available only for Windows 95/98/Me.

Windows 95

Windows 98 Windows NT

Protocol: NetWare, TCP/IP, NetBIOS

1-4

NetWare Server

Depending on the protocol, see the following:

• Chapter 2, "Using a TCP/IP Network (Windows/UNIX)"

• Chapter 3, "Using a NetWare Network (Windows)"

• Chapter 4, "Using a NetBIOS Network (Windows 95/98/Me)"

Checking Your Network Environment

The Machine

Without a NetWare Server

In a network environment like the one below, either TCP/IP or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) protocol can be used. Multiple protocols can also be used at the same time. NetBIOS is available only for Windows 95/98/Me.

Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows NT

Protocol: TCP/IP, NetBIOS

The Machine

Depending on the protocol, see the following:

• Chapter 2, "Using a TCP/IP Network (Windows/UNIX)"

• Chapter 4, "Using a NetBIOS Network (Windows 95/98/Me)"

NOTE

•

Once you set up the machine as a network printer, each computer can output directly to it. Using TCP/IP protocol with Windows 2000/XP or Windows NT as a print server provides efﬁcient management of your network printer. For the detailed procedure, see "Print Server Settings," on p. 2-35.

•

In a network comprising only Windows 95/98/Me that does not use the TCP/IP protocol, you can use NetBIOS protocol only to specify basic settings.

Machine," in the PCL Printer Guide.)

Connect the network cables in accordance with the PCL Printer Guide.

Preparation for Protocol Settings (See "Preparation for Protocol Settings," on

p. 2-3.)

Specify the machine's basic protocol settings for communication between the machine and computers using the machine. To specify the settings use:

• The machine's Control Panel (Additional Functions menu)

• NetSpot Device Installer (Canon utility software)

• ARP/PING commands

Protocol Settings (See "Protocol Settings," on p. 2-13.)

Specify the machine's advanced protocol settings. To specify the settings use:

• NetSpot Device Installer (Canon utility software)

• NetSpot Console (via a web browser) (Canon utility software)

• A web browser (Remote UI)

• An FTP client

Computer Settings for Printing (See "Setting Up a Computer for Printing," on

p. 2-21.)

In the following operations, the machine's MAC address is necessary. To check the MAC address from the printer control panel, follow the procedure below to make a test print.

1. Press

off.

2. Press (F1) repeatedly until <TEST MENU> appears.

3. Press (F2) repeatedly until <PRINT EN CONFIG> appears in the second line

of the display.

4. Press (F4).

If you are using NetSpot Device Installer or ARP/PING commands, the following steps directly allocate the IP address to the machine. For this machine, in addition to direct allocation of the IP address to the machine, you can use DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP to specify the IP address. When the machine is started or reset, it checks whether DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is being used, and then allocates the IP address using the ﬁrst available setting method. Because the machine IP address is automatically allocated at this time, it is not necessary for you to perform the following operations in this section. However if you are reallocating the IP address, or if DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP cannot be used, perform the following operations.
