About this Operation Guide
This Operation Guide <Set-up Edition> is meant to be read when the Printer Board is installed in your copier and the copier is to
be used as a local printer or network printer. It contains explanations on set-up procedures for using the copier as a printer.
As the required set-up and configurations for the printer may differ depending upon the environment in use in the connected
computer, please read those sections related to your specific computer environment and perform the appropriate set-up and
configuration explained there.
The On-Line Manual for this Operation Guide contains explanations on printing, performing certain settings and configurations,
and the procedures required at your computer.
