Printing using the IEEE 802.11b Interface
This section describes how to print after installing the optional 802.11b Interface
Unit.
There are two methods of using this machine as a network printer with IEEE
802.11b.
❖❖❖❖ ad hoc mode
This is the mode for transmitting between each wireless LAN client. You
must make the channels the same for each wireless LAN client to transmit using this basic transmitting method which does not require an access point. See
p.87 “Using the IEEE 802.11b (Wireless LAN)”.
viii
❖❖❖❖ infrastructure mode
This is the mode for transmitting via an access point. If an SSID
*2
are set in the access point, you must set the same values for the access point
*1
and WEP
and IEEE 802.11b. By connecting the access point to Ethernet, you can transmit the current network environment. See p.87 “Using the IEEE 802.11b
(Wireless LAN)”.
*1
This is called a Service Set ID and is used in the connection between the wireless
LAN client and the access point. Only a wireless LAN client and an access point
that have the same SSID can transmit to each other. (The character strings to be set
are in the range ASCII 0x20-0x7e and the SSID is case-sensitive to 32 bytes.)
*2
This is used to protect coded wireless data transmission. To transmit between
wireless LAN clients and the coded access point, you must set the same WEP key
as the printer. (You can set only 10 hexadecimal characters.)

ix
Printing using the IEEE 1394 Interface
This section describes how to print via the IEEE 1394 interface after installing the
1394 Interface Unit Type 4510.
There are two methods of using the machine as a network printer with IEEE
1394.
❖❖❖❖ SCSI print
You can print using the SCSI print device provided by Windows 2000 and
Windows XP. For more information, see ”IEEE 1394 Configuration” in the
Setup Guide.
❖❖❖❖ IP over 1394
You can print by setting the IP address for this machine and the computer on
which Windows XP is installed. For more information, see “IEEE 1394 Configuration” in the Setup Guide and p.25 “Printing with a Standard TCP/IP
Port” in the Windows XP Configuration.

Using SmartNetMonitor for Client
Using SmartNetMonitor for Client
SmartNetMonitor for Client is a utility that helps you to use network printers effectively. It is useful in environments where two or more network printers are
used. It is recommended that you install SmartNetMonitor for Client to use Parallel Printing and Recovery Printing. For more information about SmartNetMonitor for Client, see SmartNetMonitor for Client Help.
❖❖❖❖ SmartNetMonitor for Client features
• Sends a print job directly to the network printers without using a print
server.
• Notifies when a printing error occurs.
• Prints documents using other printers in the printer group when the spec-
ified printer is busy (Recovery Printing).
• Equally divides the number of copies to be printed among the selected
printers in the printer group (Parallel Printing).
Important
❒ The following must be the same for the specified printer and the print-
ers selected for Recovery Printing or Parallel Printing.
• Printer models (for Parallel Printing only)
1
• Installed options (e.g. Paper tray unit)
• Size and orientation of paper in each paper tray unit
• Total memory
• Installed fonts (including the downloaded fonts)
Note
❒ Failure to meet any of the conditions above may result in unexpected
print results.
