Introduction
This manual contains detaile d instructions on configuring your printer for using as a network
printer. The actual procedures may differ depending on your network environment. Use the
procedures for your network environment.
Introduction
Features
Note: The procedures written in this manual assume that you are a network
administrator. Be sure to consult your network administrator before doing any
configuration.
Note: Refer to the manual that comes with the printer for information on
physically installing the Network Interface Board and cabling.
Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T
•
The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWa re (IPX/SPX), Windows NT
•
(TCP/IP, NetBEUI), Windows 95/98 (TCP/IP, NetBEUI),and Macintosh (AppleTalk)
protocols. This allows you to use the printer in a network that uses different protocols
and operating systems.
A computer used as a dedicated print server is not required, because the Network
•
Interfac e Board can be configur ed as a NetWare print server.
The Network Interface Board can connect the printer to the network without requiring
•
its own power supply as the Network Interface Board is installed inside the printer.
