Checking Your Network Environment

Refer to the following diagram examples to conﬁrm the network environment that is connected to your machine. Then, perform the necessary operations to set up that environment.

Sample Windows Network

Before You Start

Using 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.

NOTE

NetBIOS is available only for Windows 95/98/Me.

Windows 95

Windows 98 Windows NT

Protocol: NetWare, TCP/IP, NetBIOS

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

Machine

Without Using a NetWare Server

In a network environment like the one below, either a TCP/IP or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) protocol can be used for printing. Multiple protocols can also be used at the same time.

NOTE

NetBIOS is available only for Windows 95/98/Me.

Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows NT

Protocol: TCP/IP, NetBIOS

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)"

Before You Start

NOTE

•

Once you set up the machine as a network printer, each computer can print directly to it. Using the 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. 2-40.

•

In a network comprising only of Windows 95/98/Me computers that do not use the TCP/IP protocol, can use the NetBIOS protocol only for connecting to a network and printing. For detailed information, see Chapter 4, "Using a NetBIOS Network (Windows 95/98/Me)."

Sample UNIX Network

With computers that operate on a UNIX network, the TCP/IP protocol is used. (See Chapter 2, "Using a TCP/IP Network (Windows/UNIX).")

Checking Your Network Environment

Using a Network with Different Types of Computers

When there are various types of computers on the network, network operations depend on the type of computer being used.

For example, if you are using Windows 98 and UNIX computers, you will need to specify and conﬁgure the setup of each computer described in both “Sample Windows Network,” on p. 1-4 and “Sample UNIX Network,” on p. 1-6.

Windows Solaris

Protocol: TCP/IP, NetWare, NetBIOS

TCP/IP Network Setup Procedures

To use a TCP/IP network, it is necessary to perform the following procedures.

Connect the network cable. (See Chapter 1, “Before You Start Using This

Using a TCP/IP Network (Windows/UNIX)

Machine,” in the PCL Printer Guide.)

Connect the network cables in accordance to the directions speciﬁed in the PCL Printer Guide.

Specify the protocol settings. (See “Specifying Protocol Settings,” on p. 2-3.)

Specify the machine’s protocol settings using one of the following methods:

• The machine’s operation panel (Data Registration menu)

• NetSpot (Canon software provided with the optional Network Kit III)

• A web browser (Remote UI)

• ARP/PING commands

• An FTP Client

Specify the computer settings for printing. (See “Setting Up a Computer for

Printing,” on p. 2-22.)

Connect each computer you want to use for printing to a TCP/IP network, and install the printer driver software.

IMPORTANT

•

It is recommended that the Network Administrator perform steps 1 and 2 above.

•

If you are printing using a TCP/IP network, you can use the following print applications:

- LPD (Line Printer Daemon)

- FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

-Raw (Windows 2000/XP only)

- IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) (Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP only)

This machine does not come with printer driver software that can be used for each UNIX platform.

•

If you are conﬁguring the basic protocol settings for the ﬁrst time, use the operation panel on your LASER CLASS 700 Series machine.

TCP/IP Network Setup Procedures

Specifying Protocol Settings

Preparation for Protocol Settings

Before you specify the machine’s protocol settings, it is necessary to specify the IP address of the machine to enable communication between the machine and your computers. You can use any of the following to specify the settings. Specify the settings using one of the following methods:

• The machine’s operation panel (Data Registration menu)

• NetSpot (Canon software provided with the optional Network Kit III)

• The Remote UI

• ARP/PING commands

• An FTP Client

IMPORTANT

•

Before you enter the IP address of your machine, contact your Network Administrator to allocate your IP address. Enter the correct IP address to avoid network problems.

•

In order to perform the following operations in this section, the machine’s MAC address is necessary. To check the MAC address from the printer’s operation panel, follow the procedure below to make a test print.

1. Press

2. Press [Menu] until <TEST MENU> appears.

3. Press [Item] until <PRINT EN CONFIG> appears

•

Before you perform the following operations in this section, make sure that the machine is connected to a power source, and connected to the network.

•

If you are using NetSpot or ARP/PING commands, the following steps directly allocate the IP address of the machine. You can also 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. Then, the machine allocates the IP address using the ﬁrst available procotol.

•

It is not necessary for you to perform the following operations in this section, if you are using the machine to automatically allocate the IP address. However, if you are reallocating the IP address, or if DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP cannot be used, perform the following operations in this section.

[PRT.Message] ➞ [Go] on the operation panel to take the printer ofﬂine.

➞

press [Enter/Cancel].

Specifying Network Settings from the Operation Panel

Use the procedures described in this section to specify the following network settings:

• IP Address (automatically or manually)

• Subnet Mask

• Default Gateway

• DNS Server Address

• DNS Dynamic Setting

• Host Name

• Domain Name

IMPORTANT

Speciﬁed settings from the operation panel become effective after the machine has been restarted (When you disconnect the power cord, then connect it again).

NOTE

•

For speciﬁc network settings, contact your Network Administrator.

•

Althrough you may specify the network settings from the operation panel of the machine, it is much easier to specify these settings from the Remote UI. (See "Using a Web Browser (Remote UI)," on p.2-14).
