Windows 2000 Server

z After performing the settings for a TCP/IP network with a Windows computer,

every computer on the network can print with every printer connected directly to

the network. Also, setting up a Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT

computer as a server greatly improves the efficiency of managing network printers.

TCP/IP Network Settings (Windows)

This chapter describes the setting methods and procedures for

connecting the printer to a TCP/IP network.

Procedures Required for a TCP/IP Network

Here is a summary of the procedures required to set the printer for use on a

TCP/IP network.

Connect the network cable. ÆSetup Guide

Follow the instructions in the Setup Guide to connect the network cable.

Setting the Printer IP Address ÆP. 2 - 3

Setting the IP address allows setting the printer protocol to enable communication between the printer and the computer . You can use one of the methods below to set the protocol:

• GARO Device Setup Utility (Canon software application provided with the printer)

• ARP/PING command

• Printer operation panel

Setting TCP/IP Protocol for the Printer ÆP. 2 - 8

Perform this procedure to set the printer protocol. You can perform these settings with the web browser from a computer on the network:

• Web browser (Remote UI)

Setting the Computer ÆP. 2 - 1 3

This procedure is performed for each computer to be used for printing.

Important

z Steps 1, 2, and 3 should be performed by the network system administrator.

z An LPD connected print application can be used to print on the TCP/IP network.

z This printer is not compatible with RAW protocol. If you are using Windows XP or

Windows 2000, you must set and use LPR protocol.

TCP/IP Network Settings (Windows)

2-2

Setting the Printer IP Address

Before setting the printer protocol, you must set the IP address to enable

communication between the printer and the computer. You can use one of the

methods below to set the IP address. Use whichever method is easiest:

• GARO Device Setup Utility (Æ P. 2 - 4)

• ARP/PING command (Æ P. 2 - 6 )

• Printer operation panel (Æ Setup Guide, Chapter 2, “Doing the settings

on the Printer Operation Panel”)

Important

z When you use the GARO Device Setup Utility to perform the settings, you must

make the settings from a computer in the same subnet as the printer.

z When you use the GARO Device Setup Utility to perform the printer network

settings, the subnet mask and gateway address settings are set to 0.0.0.0, so use the

Remote UI or printer operation panel to make the settings for your network.

z If you are using an operating system that is not compatible with the GARO Device

Setup Utility, use another computer on the network, use the ARP/PING command,

or use the printer operation panel to perform the settings.

z The GARO Device Setup Utility must be installed on your computer in order to

use this utility to make the settings. Ask your system administrator to install the

GARO Device Setup Utility on your computer. (Æ Setup Guide)

z Before setting the IP address, confirm that the printer is switched on and connected

to the network.

z The MAC address is required to perform the setting with the GARO Device Setup

Utility or the ARP/PING command. If you need to confirm the MAC address, use

the printer operation panel to print a Status Print.

1. Press Online to display MAIN MENU.

2. Press  or  to select Test Print then press .

3. Press  or  to select Status Print then press Enter.

Setting the Printer IP Address

2-3

Setting the IP Address with GARO Device Setup Utility

If you are using Windows, use the GARO Device Setup Utility, the software

utility provided with the printer, to perform the printer network settings.

Note

z If you are using a Macintosh computer, use the printer operation panel to perform

the settings. (Æ Setup Guide, Chapter 2, “Doing the settings on the Printer

Operation Panel”)

On the desktop, click the Start button, point to Programs, then click GARO Device Setup Utility.

Click the Settings button.

TCP/IP Network Settings (Windows)

2-4

Enter the MAC address into the MAC Address box then click the Next button.

The utility searches for the printer on the network and when the printer is found, the protocol settings dialog box opens.

Important

z If the printer cannot be found, make sure that the computer and the printer are in

the same subnet. If you use the GARO Device Setup Utility to perform the settings,

you must make the settings from a computer in the same subnet as the printer.

For the TCP/IP Frame Type, select ETHERNET II from the list, enter the IP address allocated for the printer into the IP Address box, then click the Next button.

When printing via AppleTalk, select Phase2 for AppleTalk Phase. When printing with NetWare Type.

, select the frame type in use for NetWare Frame

Setting the Printer IP Address

2-5

Confirm the settings then click the Finish button.

The network interface settings are changed.

Note

z The subnet mask and gateway address settings have been set to 0.0.0.0. After

completing the above settings, use the Remote UI or the printer operation panel to

perform the subnet mask and gateway address settings for your network. (Æ P. 2 - 8)

This completes preparation for selecting the printer protocol. Now you are ready to select the printer protocol. (Æ P.2 - 8 )

Setting the IP Address with the ARP/PING Command

The examples of entries and settings below are for the English operating

system.

Start at the MS-DOS prompt or command line.

Execute the following commands, and add the static entry to the arp table.

arp -s <IP address> <MAC address>

IP address:

Set the IP address assigned to the printer. The IP address consists of four decimal numbers (within the range 0 to 255) separated by dots.

MAC address:

Set the MAC address of the printer. In the MAC address every two numbers is separated by a hyphen (-).

arp -s XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 00-00-XX-XX-XX-XX

Execute the following commands to set the IP address for the printer.

ping <IP address> -l 479

IP address:

Set the same address entered at Step 2.

Sample:

ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -l 479

TCP/IP Network Settings (Windows)

2-6

Note

z The -l entry is the alphabetic lower case “L” (not the number “1”).

z The subnet mask and gateway address settings have been set to 0.0.0.0. After

completing the above settings, use the Remote UI or the printer operation panel to

perform the subnet mask and gateway address settings for your network. (Æ P. 2 - 8)

This completes preparation for the protocol setting.

Setting the Printer IP Address

2-7

Setting TCP/IP Protocol for the Printer

You can use your Web browser on your computer with the Remote UI, the

software built into the network interface, to perform the printer protocol

settings.

Setting up with a Web Browser (Remote UI)

Start the Web Browser, enter the following URL for the Address, then press the Enter key.

http://<Printer IP address or name>/

Example: http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/

Important

z For the Web Browser, use Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.04 or later, or use

Internet Explorer 4.01SP1 or later. However, Netscape Navigator Version 6 or later

is not compatible.

z A connection through a Proxy Server cannot be used. If you are using a network

environment with a Proxy Server, use the “Proxies” server setting in the Web

Browser to add the printer IP address to the “Exceptions” text box (the address not

used by the Proxy Server). (Performing this setting may differ, depending on the

network environment.)

z Use the Web Browser to enable JavaScript and Cookie so these features can be

used.

z If more than one Remote UI is being used, then the most recently used settings

remain enabled. Starting and using only one Remote UI at a time is recommended.

TCP/IP Network Settings (Windows)

2-8

Click and select Administrator Mode then click the OK button.

Note

The Remote UI starts.

z If a password has been set for the printer, enter the password and click the OK

button. If no password has been set, then a password entry is not required.
