You will need to set up the IP address on the printer and the Windows NT 4.0/Windows
2000/Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 computer. And once the printer registered on th e
Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 computer is shared,
you can also print from Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me computers through this
printer.
Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/
Windows Server 2003
Note
• Only Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 support printing through Port 9100.
• When the LPD port is used, the printer can limit print instructions by IP addresses. For det ails, refer to
the Technical Reference Manual.

4 Printing Through SMB
4.1 Installation Procedure for Printing through SMB
Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing files or printers on a Windows OS.
This section explains the installation procedure for connecting a printer to the Windows
network through SMB.
System Configuration
As the printer supports SMB protocol, you can print by sending print data directly to the
printer on the same network without going through the server.
You can use either NetBEUI or TCP/IP, or even both as the transport protocol for SMB. You
will need to set up the IP address on the printer and the computer if you are using TCP/IP.
Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me/
Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/
Windows Server 2003
Note
• Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 does not support NetBEUI.

14 4 Printing Through SMB
Set Up Procedure
The setting procedure is as follows:
1. Setting up the printer
• When using NetBEUI
Use the printer control panel or OkiWebRemote to set the SMB port to [Enable]
(default: [Enable]).
• When using TCP/IP
Set the IP address on the printer control panel.
Use the printer control panel or OkiWebRemote to set the SMB port to [Enable]
(default: [Enable]).
Note
• For details on how to set the IP address and the port, refer to the Setup Guide.
• OkiWebRemote allows more detailed settings.
• By rewriting the [config.txt] file of the printer, SMB can be set or changed on a Windows computer. For
details, refer to “4.2 Setting/Changing SMB Using the [Config. txt] File” (P. 15).
2. Setting up the computer
Install the printer driver to the computer.
Refer to
• “4.3 Auto Driver Downlo ading” (P. 18)
4.2 Setting/Changing SMB Using the [Config.txt] File
You can change the SMB setting by accessing the settin g file (con fig .txt) in the printer
through the Windows network from the computer. However, only the administrator is
allowed to do this.
The procedure below explains how to overwrite the [config.txt] file.You will need to know the
following items that have been set: SMB Host Name, Workgroup, Administrator Name, and
Administrator Password. The procedure here explains with Windows XP as an example.
1. Open [My Network Places] from the Windows computer, followed by [Workgroup]
