1. Getting Ready for Software
Installation
Support programs for the installation and configuration of the Network Interface Board are included on two CD-ROMs. One is “Printer Drivers and Utilities”
and the other is “Print Server Software and Documentation” which come with
this machine.
You can select any of the programs listed in the Configuration Programs.
Configuration Programs
The CD-ROM labeled "Printer Drivers and Utilities" includes the following utilities.
❖❖❖❖ SmartNetMonitor for Admin
SmartNetMonitor for Admin is software that uses the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX
protocols to monitor the printers in a network. It can monitor multiple network printers having IP addresses. We recommend network administrators
to use this software.
Reference
For more information about SmartNetMonitor for Admin, see the SmartNetMonitor for Admin Help file.
❖❖❖❖ SmartNetMonitor for Client
SmartNetMonitor for Client is software equipped with the following functions. We recommend all users of this printer to install this software.
• Provides the function to print in a Peer-to-Peer network.
• Uses the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols to monitor the status of devices
in a network constantly.
Reference
For more information about SmartNetMonitor for Client, see the SmartNetMonitor for Client Help file.
The CD-ROM labeled "Print Server Software and Documentation" includes the
following utilities.
❖❖❖❖ MAP
Web-based configuration utility
❖❖❖❖ IPX Peer-to-Peer
IPX Peer-to-Peer printing software
❖❖❖❖ IP Peer-to-Peer
IP Peer-to-Peer printing software
❖❖❖❖ NWSetup

Getting Ready for Software Installation
The four utilities are included on the “Print Server Software and Documentation” CD-ROM, but you need this CD-ROM only if you use ”IPX Peer-to-Peer”
or “IP Peer-to-Peer” printing.
Although you can use the "MAP" or "NWSetup" utilities on the "Print Server
Software and Documentation" CD-ROM, it is easier to use the SmartNetMonotor for Admin/Client included on the "Printer Drivers and Utilities" CD-ROM.
To use “MAP” or “NWSetup” from the “Print Server Software and Documentation” CD-ROM, see the “Owner's Manual”on the CD-ROM labeled “Print Server
Software and Documentation” for instructions.

2. Windows 95/98/Me
Configuration
Windows 95/98/Me Configuration
This section describes how to configure the Peer-to-peer printing. The Peer-topeer printing software that is included on the CD-ROM labeled ”Printer Drivers
and Utilities”. “Print Server Software and Documentation” allows Windows 95/
98/Me PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network
server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for Peer-to-peer printing.
There are three types of Peer-to-peer printing. You can select ”SmartNetMonitor
for Admin/Client”, “IP Peer-to-Peer” and “IPX Peer-to-Peer” according to your
network environment.
The Peer-to-peer printing software must be installed on each PC that uses Peerto-peer printing. Once Peer-to-peer printing software is installed, all Network
Interface Boards on the network automatically appear in the list of available
printer ports.
The Peer-to-peer printing software can also be used in networks where servers
are present; however, server based print services are often utilized instead. Server based print services offer centralized printing management and spooling and
do not require software (other than the printer driver) to be installed on each PC.
If you use the printer in a network where servers are present, select either Peerto-peer printing or the server based print service.
Reference
For more information about setting IP parameters, see “Configuring the Printer
for the Network with the Operation Panel” in “Printer Reference 1”.

Windows 95/98/Me Configuration
Using SmartNetMonitor for Client
Preparation
To use SmartNetMonitor for Client, you must install it as [Network] installation and use TCP/IP or IPP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer Network.
2
Installing SmartNetMonitor for Client
Preparation
Select [Network] installation when you print without using a print server.
[Network] installation installs the PCL 5e and PCL 6 printer driver and Smart-
NetMonitor for Client. When you print using TCP/IP or IPP protocol in a
Peer-to-Peer Network, you must select this installation.
[Custom] installation allows you to install SmartNetMonitor for Client separately.
Installing by "Network" installation
Close all applications that are running.
A
Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
B
The installer will start by Auto Run.
Important
❒ Never have two versions of the same printer driver installed on your sys-
tem at the same time. When upgrading to a new version of the printer driver, delete the old version, and then install the new one.
Note
❒ Auto Run might not automatically work with certain OS settings. In this
case, launch "INSTTOOL.EXE" located on the CD-ROM root directory.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
C
Select [Network] installation when the selection screen appears.
D
Follow the instructions on the screen.
E
Select a printer you want to use when the [Select Printer] dialog box appears.
F
Click [Add..] when the [Select Port] dialog box appears.
G
Select [SmartNetMonitor for Client], and then click [OK].
H
Available printers will be listed.

TCP/IP
A Click the printer you want to use, and then click [OK].
Note
❒ Printers that respond to an IP broadcast from the computer will be dis-
played. To print to a printer not listed here, click [Specify Address], and
then type the IP address or host name.
❒ You cannot add an address partially similar to that already used. For ex-
ample, when “192.168.0.2” is already used, “192.168.0.2xx” cannot be
used. Similarly, when “192.168.0.20” is already used, “192.168.0.2” cannot be used.
IPP
A Click [IPP].
The IPP setting dialog box appears.
2
B In [Printer URL], type “http://IP address:631/Print” as the printer's IP ad-
dress.
(Example IP address is 192.168.15.16)
http://192.168.15.16/printer
C As necessary, type the names to distinguish the printer in [IPP Port Name].
Type a name differing from those of any existing port names.
If you omit this, the address typed in [Printer URL] will be set as the IPP port
name.
Click [OK].
J
Confirm that the selected port is highlighted, and then click [Next].
K
Click [Finish].
L
Restart the computer after the installation is complete.
M
