Introduction
This manual contains detailed 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.
Windows NT (Server)
NetWare (Server)

Important
❒
The procedures written in this manual assume that you are a network administrator. If you aren't, be sure to consult your network administrator before
configuration.
Reference
Refer to the manual that comes with the printer for information on physically
installing the Network Interface Board and cabling.
Refer to the manual that comes with the printer for information on configuring the Network Interface Board with the Operation panel.
Features
❖
• Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T
• The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWare (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 dedicated print server is not required, because the
Network Interface Board can be configured as a NetWare print server.
• The Network Interface Board can connect the printer to the network without requiring its own power supply because the Network Interface Board
is installed inside the printer.

The Network Interface Board allows you to set up your printer in a NetWare environment as either a print server or a remote printer. A dedicated NetWare
print server is not required. If a dedicated print server is being used, your printer
should be configured as a remote printer.

Preparation
The Multi Direct Print Application supports the TCP/IP protocol and the
NetBEUI protocol. Consult the network administrator before selecting the
protocol.
Limitation
❒
When you use the NetBEUI protocol, you cannot print to a printer which is
located on the other side of a router.
Note
❒
You can use both TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocols in a computer. To use both
protocols you must first install them.

Preparing to Use the TCP/IP Protocol for Printing
To use the TCP/IP protocol to print, the network must be configured as described below.
Config u r ing the Printer
Configure your printer to use the TCP/IP protocol.
• Confirm that the TCP/IP protocol is set to be active. (The factory default is active)
• Assign an IP address and make other settings required for using the TCP/IP
protocol.
Reference
For more information on how to make the above settings, refer to the Operating Instructions for your printer.
If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, refer to P.82
Note
❒
After setting the IP address, use the PING command to confirm that it has
been set correctly.
