Network Connection
Theory
To connect your machine in a TCP/
IP network environment, you must
make sure that the internal network addresses in the machine
have been set.
" In many cases, you have to
enter only a unique IP
address. However, you may
also have to enter a subnet
mask and/or a gateway
(router) address, depending on your network configuration requirements.
M
Network Connection2-2
Making the Connection
Ethernet Interface
An RJ45 connector can be used as the Ethernet interface for this machine.
When connecting your machine to an Ethernet network, the tasks you per-
form depend on how you plan to set the machine’s IP (Internet Protocol)
address.
IP Address—A unique identifier for each device on a TCP/IP network.
Subnet Mask—A filter used to determine what subnet an IP address
belongs to.
Gateway—A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another
network.
Since the IP address for each PC and machine on your network must be
unique, you usually need to modify this preset address so it doesn’t conflict
with any other IP address or your network or any attached network. You can
do this in one of two ways. Each is explained in detail in the following sections.
Using DHCP
Setting the address manually
Using DHCP
If your network supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the
machine’s IP address will be automatically assigned by the DHCP server
when you turn on the machine. (Refer to “Network Printing” on page 2-6 for a
description of DHCP.)
" If the IP address of the machine is not set automatically, check if the
machine has been set to allow DHCP to be used (
— REPORT — CONFIGURATION PAGE). If the machine has been
set so that DHCP cannot be used, select AUTO in the UTILITY -
ADMIN. MANAGEMENT - NETWORK SETTING - IP ADDR.

1 Connect your machine to the network.
When using an Ethernet cable, plug the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet
interface port of the machine.
2 Turn on your PC and machine.

Setting the Address Manually
You may also manually change the machine’s IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway by using the following instructions. (See chapter 1, “Understanding
the Network Setting Menu,” for more information.)
" When the IP address is changed, add a new port or reinstall the
printer driver.
CAUTION
Y ou should alw ays notify yo ur network’s administrator before changing
the machine’s IP address.

Network printing terms are described below:
Bonjour
BOOTP
DHCP
DNS
FTP
HTTP
IPP
LDAP
LPD/LPR
POP Before SMTP
Port 9100
SLP
SMB
SMTP
SMTP Authentication
SNMP
TCP/IP
This section contains descriptions of these network printing terms.
Bonjour
Macintosh network technology for automatically detecting devices connected
to the network and for specifying settings. Previously called “Rendezvous”,
the name was changed to “Bonjour” starting with Mac OS X v10.4.
BOOTP
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is an Internet protocol that enables a diskless
workstation to discover (1) its own IP address, (2) the IP address of a BOOTP
server on the network, and (3) a file that can be loaded into memory to boot
the workstation. This enables the workstation to boot without requiring a hard
or floppy disk drive.
Network Printing2-6
DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning
dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a
device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network.
In some systems, the device’s IP address can even change while it is still
connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because th e software
keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage
the task. This means that a new computer can be added to a network without
the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address.
DNS
Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A system that acquires the supported IP addresses from host names in a network environment. DNS allows
the user to access other computers over a network by specifying host names,
instead of difficult to memorize and understand IP addresses.
FTP
Abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol. A protocol for transferring files over
the Internet or an intranet on the TCP/IP network.
HTTP
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol used by the
World Wide Web. It defines how messages are formatted and transmitted,
and what actions web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. For example, when you enter a URL in your browser, this
actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and
transmit the requested web page.
IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for end users’ most common
printing situations over the Internet. It allows users to find out about a printer’s
capabilities, submit print jobs to a printer, determine the status of the printer
or print job, and cancel a previously submitted print job.
For more information on using IPP, See “Printing via IPP (Internet Printing
Protocol)” on page 2-11.
Network Printing 2-7
LDAP
On a TCP/ IP network, such as the Internet or an intranet, LDAP (Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol that is used to access a database for
managing environment information and the e-mail addresses of network
users.
LPD/LPR
LPD/LPR (Line Printer Daemon/Line Printer Remote) is a platformindependent printing protocol that runs over TCP/IP. Originally implemented
for BSD UNIX, its use has spread into the desktop world and is now an
industry standard.
POP Before SMTP
A user authentication method for sending E-mail messages. First, the reception operation is performed and the user is authenticated by the POP server.
Then, IP addresses where the user was successfully authenticated by the
POP server are permitted to use the SMTP server. This method prevents
third parties without permission to use the mail server from sending mail messages.
Port 9100
When printing through a network, TCP/IP port number 9100 can be used to
send raw data.
SLP
Traditionally, in order to locate services on the network, users had to supply
the host name or network address of the machine providing the desired service. This has created many administrative problems.
However, SLP (Service Location Protocol) simplifies the discovery and use of
network resources such as printers by automating a number of network services. It provides a framework that allows networking applications to discover
the existence, location, and configuration of networked services.
With SLP users no longer need to know the names of network hosts. Instead,
they need to know only the description of the service they are interested in.
Based on this description, SLP is able to return the URL of the desired
service.
Network Printing2-8
Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast
SLP is a unicast and a multicast protocol. This means that messages can be
sent to one agent at a time (unicast) or to all agents (that are listening) at the
same time (multicast). However, a multicast is not a broadcast. In theory,
broadcast messages are “heard” by every node on the network. Multicast
differs from broadcast because multicast messages are only “heard” by the
nodes on the network that have “joined the multicast group.”
For obvious reasons network routers filter almost all broadcast traffic. This
means that broadcasts that are generated on one subnet will not be “routed”
or forwarded to any of the other subnets connected to the router (from the
router’s perspective, a subnet is all mach ines connected to one of its ports).
Multicasts, on the other hand, are forwarded by routers. Multicast traffic from
a given group is forwarded by routers to all subnets that have at least one
machine that is interested in receiving the multicast for that group.
SMB
SMB (Server Message Block) is a protocol for sharing network resources,
such as files and printers, in a Windows environment. If the Samba server
software is used on Linux or UNIX, services using SMB can be shared.
SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for sending E-mail.
This protocol was originally used to send E-mail between servers; however,
currently it is also used by client E-mail software that uses POP to send
E-mail to servers.
SMTP Authentication
Specification that adds user authentication functions to SMTP, which is used
for sending E-mail.
When sending E-mail, authentication of the user is performed by the SMTP
server, and the E-mail message is permitted to be sent only if authentication
was successful.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is actually a set of protocols
for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending messages to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data
about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this
data to the SNMP requesters.
Network Printing 2-9
TCP/IP
Most networks combine TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with the
lower-level protocol IP (Internet Protocol). TCP establishes a virtual connection between two host systems and guarantees the delivery of data between
them while IP specifies the format and addressing of this data sent between
these two host systems.
