Features of network functions
This unit can handle various network environments flexibly and is equipped with the following network functions.
10Base-T/100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet) automatic selection
It supports for multiple protocols (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk (EtherTalk))
Through dedicated utilities, it supports IP Peer-to-Peer printing through TCP/IP from Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me.
Through dedicated utilities, it supports IPX Peer-to-Peer printing through IPX/SPX from MicroSoft Windows 95/98/Me.
It supports LPD/LPR on TCP/IP for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP.
It supports lpd/lpr on TCP/IP for UNIX.
It supports Novell NetWare printer server functions and supports both bindary mode and Novell Directory Service (NDS).
It supports AppleTalk on Macintosh.
An HTTP server is built in and through links with the accessory Management Access Program (MAP), standard web browser, etc., the printing system can be managed.
It supports for acquiring IP addresses automatically through DHCP
It supports for setting up Netware on NWSetup utility for Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP.
It supports for assigning IP addresses on BOOTP Lite utility for Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP.
It supports printing from various UNIX systems through UNIX-TCP/IP Programs.
Use with peer-to-peer connections (Windows 95/98/Me)
With LAN (Local Area Network) comprised solely of computers running Windows 95/98/Me, the printer can be used even without a dedicated printer server. In this case, the print controller is connected to the network with a connection configuration called peer-to-peer.
zPeer-to-peer: A network configuration that connects computers under equivalent conditions without using a central server.

IP address settings
There are the following two methods for setting the IP address etc. for the network controller.
Assigning the IP address automatically with the DHCP server
When managing IP addresses with the DHCP server on the network that the network controller is connected to, there is no need to set a unique IP address for the network controller. The IP address can be acquired automatically from the DHCP server.
Setting a unique IP address for the network controller
When setting individual IP addresses for equipment connected to the network, the IP address assigned to the network controller is set with manual input. In this case, it is also necessary to set the sub-net mask and other information with manual input.
zFor details on management methods for network IP addresses etc., check with the network administrator.
zFor details on making network settings manually, check with the network administrator.
zWhen making network settings manually, in addition to the method explained here using the Copier’s control panel, you can also use a web utility. For details, refer to the Web Utilities user’s manual.
