Checking Your Network Environment

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

IMPORTANT

If you are using the optional imagePASS, see the manual provided with the optional

Before You Start

imagePASS.

Sample Windows Network

In a Windows network environment, the TCP/IP or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/ IP) protocol can be used. Multiple protocols can be used at the same time. In addition to IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4), the machine also supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), and has a dual stack configuration that enables it to communicate with both IPv4 networks and IPv6 networks. The functions of IPv4 are always enabled, and you can select whether to use the functions of IPv6. To use the e-mail/I-fax function, the TCP/IP protocol is required.

After configuring the settings in accordance with Chapter 2, "Settings Common to the Network Protocols," see the following, depending on the protocol:

• Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP Network"

• Chapter 5, "Using a NetBIOS Network"

IMPORTANT

•

The machine does not support NetBEUI.

•

The IPv6 network of the machine does not support encryption using IPsec (Security Architecture for Internet Protocol).

•

If you are using the optional imagePASS, you cannot use the functions of IPv6.

Checking Your Network Environment

Sample Macintosh Network

In Mac OS 8/9, the AppleTalk (EtherTalk) protocol is used. In Mac OS X, either the AppleTalk (EtherTalk), TCP/IP, or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) protocol can be used.

To use the e-mail/I-fax function or to send data, the TCP/IP protocol is required.

After configuring the settings in accordance with Chapter 2, "Settings Common to the Network Protocols," see the following, depending on the protocol:

• Chapter 6, "Using an AppleTalk Network (Macintosh)"

• Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP Network"

• Chapter 5, "Using a NetBIOS Network"

IMPORTANT

The protocol you can use differs depending on the version of Mac OS or type of printer driver. For details, see the Mac PS Driver Guide, the Mac UFR II Driver Guide, or the Network Quick Start Guide.

Sample UNIX Network

With UNIX computers, the TCP/IP protocol is used.

After configuring the settings in accordance with Chapter 2, "Settings Common to the Network Protocols," see the following:

Using a Network with Various Types of Computers

If there are various types of computers on the network, the network operations you are required to perform depend on the type of computers being used. For example, if you are using Windows XP and Macintosh computers, you will need to specify the settings described in both "Sample Windows Network" and "Sample

Before You Start

Macintosh Network".

To use the e-mail/I-fax function, the TCP/IP protocol is required. To use the data sending function, either the TCP/IP, NetWare, or NetBIOS protocol is required.

After configuring the settings in accordance with Chapter 2, "Settings Common to the Network Protocols," see the following, depending on the protocol:

• Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP Network"

• Chapter 4, "Using a NetWare Network (Windows)"

Network Environment Setup Procedures

Connecting the Machine to a Computer or Network

The machine can be connected to a computer or network with a USB cable or 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet cable.

IMPORTANT

•

External USB devices (e.g., memory, keyboard, mouse, etc.) are not supported.

•

A USB cable or network cable are not included in this package. Please obtain a suitable cable for your computer or network.

Connecting to a Network

The machine supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and NetWare, which enables it to be used by Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux computers. It also has a 10Base-T/ 100Base-TX connector that can be used on most LANs.

Connect the machine's RJ-45 connector to a hub port using a Category 5 twisted pair LAN cable.

WARNING

When connecting the interface cable or network cable, be sure to observe the following precautions to avoid electrical shock.

- Turn OFF the machine's main power switch before disconnecting the power cord from the power outlet. (See Chapter 1, "Before You Start Using This Machine," in the Reference Guide.)

- Turn OFF the computer and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

IMPORTANT

•

You cannot use the machine as a repeater, bridge, or gateway.

•

If two or more machines are on an AppleTalk network, they should be switched 'ON' 10 seconds or more apart.

NOTE

•

The machine can automatically detect the type of Ethernet (10Base-T or 100Base-TX).

•

If you are using a mixed 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX environment, devices on the network (hubs, routers, etc.) must support the mixed environment. For more information, consult your local authorized Canon dealer.

•

After connecting the network cable, perform the following operations. (For more information, see the relevant descriptions.)

- Set the date and time, and System Manager settings. (See Chapter 6, "System Manager Settings," in the Reference Guide.)

- Set the network settings.

- Install a driver if necessary. (See the PCL Driver Guide, the PS Driver Guide, the UFR II

Driver Guide, the Fax Driver Guide, the Mac PS Driver Guide, the Mac UFR II Driver Guide, or the Network Quick Start Guide.)
