Using the Machine on Your Network
This section provides instructions for using the Canon imageCLASS MF5700
Series machine on your network as a shared printer.
By setting your machine as a shared printer on your network, the network users can
share the machine for printing. The print server and clients do not need to use the
same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 98/Me client to a
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 print server, or vice versa.
You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not
running when the client was started.
If the server is running on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, you can print even if no
one is logged into the server.
For more information, see the Network Guide.
Setting the Machine as a Shared Printer
If you plan to share your Canon imageCLASS MF5700 Series machine on a
network, install the print server locally, then make the following settings. For more
information, see your print server system documentation.
