(AppleTalk) protocols. This allows you to use the machine in a network that uses different protocols and operating systems.

• A computer used as a dedicated print server is not required because the Network Interface Board can be configured as a NetWare print server.

• The Network Interface Board can connect the machine to the network without requiring its own power supply because the Network Interface Board is installed inside the machine.

If the optional 802.11b Interface Unit has been installed, you cannot use the ad hoc mode.

To use NetBEUI, use the SmartNetMonitor for Client port.

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for printing via the Internet.

Printing using the IEEE 802.11b Interface

This section describes how to print after installing the optional 802.11b Interface Unit.

There are two methods of using this machine as a network printer with IEEE

802.11b.

❖❖❖❖ ad hoc mode

This is the mode for transmitting between each wireless LAN client. You must make the channels the same for each wireless LAN client to transmit using this basic transmitting method which does not require an access point. See p.87 “Using the IEEE 802.11b (Wireless LAN)”.

viii

❖❖❖❖ infrastructure mode

This is the mode for transmitting via an access point. If an SSID

are set in the access point, you must set the same values for the access point

and WEP

and IEEE 802.11b. By connecting the access point to Ethernet, you can transmit the current network environment. See p.87 “Using the IEEE 802.11b (Wireless LAN)”.

This is called a Service Set ID and is used in the connection between the wireless LAN client and the access point. Only a wireless LAN client and an access point that have the same SSID can transmit to each other. (The character strings to be set are in the range ASCII 0x20-0x7e and the SSID is case-sensitive to 32 bytes.)

This is used to protect coded wireless data transmission. To transmit between wireless LAN clients and the coded access point, you must set the same WEP key as the printer. (You can set only 10 hexadecimal characters.)

❖ad hoc mode

❖infrastructure mode

access point

Printing using the IEEE 1394 Interface

This section describes how to print via the IEEE 1394 interface after installing the 1394 Interface Unit Type 4510.

There are two methods of using the machine as a network printer with IEEE

1394.

❖❖❖❖ SCSI print

You can print using the SCSI print device provided by Windows 2000 and Windows XP. For more information, see ”IEEE 1394 Configuration” in the Setup Guide.

❖❖❖❖ IP over 1394

You can print by setting the IP address for this machine and the computer on which Windows XP is installed. For more information, see “IEEE 1394 Configuration” in the Setup Guide and p.25 “Printing with a Standard TCP/IP Port” in the Windows XP Configuration.

Configuring TCP/IP and IPP for Printing

These instructions are for configuring the Network Interface Board and Windows 95/98/Me to use the TCP/IP protocol and IPP.

Configuring the machine

Configure the machine to use the TCP/IP protocol.

• Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is set to active. (The default is active.)

• Assign an IP address and make other settings required for using the TCP/IP

protocol.

Reference

For more information about how to make the above settings, see the Setup Guide.

If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, see p.121 “Using DHCP”.

Note

❒ After setting the IP address, use the ping command to make sure that it has

been set correctly.

Enable the use of the command prompt as follows:

• On Windows 95 or Windows 98

Click [Start], point to [Programs], and then click [Command Prompt].

• On Windows Me

Click [Start], point to [Programs], point to [Accessories], and then click [Command Prompt].

Using SmartNetMonitor for Client

SmartNetMonitor for Client is a utility that helps you to use network printers effectively. It is useful in environments where two or more network printers are used. It is recommended that you install SmartNetMonitor for Client to use Parallel Printing and Recovery Printing. For more information about SmartNetMonitor for Client, see SmartNetMonitor for Client Help.

❖❖❖❖ SmartNetMonitor for Client features

• Sends a print job directly to the network printers without using a print server.

• Notifies when a printing error occurs.

• Prints documents using other printers in the printer group when the spec-

ified printer is busy (Recovery Printing).

• Equally divides the number of copies to be printed among the selected printers in the printer group (Parallel Printing).

Important

❒ The following must be the same for the specified printer and the print-

ers selected for Recovery Printing or Parallel Printing.

• Printer models (for Parallel Printing only)

• Installed options (e.g. Paper tray unit)

• Size and orientation of paper in each paper tray unit

• Total memory

• Installed fonts (including the downloaded fonts)

Note

❒ Failure to meet any of the conditions above may result in unexpected

print results.

Windows 95/98/Me Configuration

Installing SmartNetMonitor for Client

CCCC

Click [Delete Port].

DDDD

Click the SmartNetMonitor for Client port name as in step

EEEE

[OK].

The port is deleted.

Click [OK] to close the printer properties.

FFFF

Uninstalling SmartNetMonitor for Client

Windows NT 4.0 Configuration

Configuring the Protocols

Configuring TCP/IP and IPP for Printing

These instructions are for configuring the Network Interface Board and Windows NT to use the TCP/IP protocol and IPP.

Configuring the machine

Configure the machine to use the TCP/IP protocol.

• Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is set to active. (The default is active.)

• Assign an IP address and make other settings required for using the TCP/IP protocol.

Reference

For more information about how to make the above settings, see the Setup Guide.

If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, see p.121 “Using DHCP”.

Note

❒ After setting the IP address, use the ping command to make sure that it has

been correctly set.

Click [Start], point to [Programs], and then click [Command Prompt].

Type the following: (Example IP address is 192.168.15.16)

C:\> ping 192.168.15.16

If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears.

Reply from 192.168.15.16 : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message appears.

Request timed out.

Configuring a Windows NT computer
