❒
The procedures written in this manual assume that you are a network administrator.
If you are not, be sure to consult your network administrator before configuration.
Reference
For more information about physically installing the Network Interface
Board and cabling, see the "Setup Guide" that comes with the printer.
For more information about configuring the Network Interface Board with
the operation panel, see the "Setup Guide" that comes with the printer.
❖❖❖❖ Features
• Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T
• The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWare (IPX/SPX, TCP/
IP), Windows NT (TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPP
BEUI, IPP
*1
), Windows 95/98/Me (TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPP
*1
), Windows 2000 (TCP/IP, Net-
*1
), UNIX (TCP/
IP) 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 a 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.
*1
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for printing via the Internet.

Configuring TCP/IP and IPP for Printing
Follow these instructions to configure the Network Interface Board and Windows 95/98/Me to use the TCP/IP protocol and IPP.
Configuring the printer
Configure the 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 about how to make the above settings, see the "Setup
Guide" that comes with the printer.
If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, see P.97 “When Using DHCP”.
Note
❒ After setting the IP address, use the ping command to confirm that it has been
set correctly.
Click [Start], point to [Programs], and then click [MS-DOS Prompt].
A
Type the following. (Example IP address is 192.168.15.16)

• Notification when a printing error occurs.
• Print documents using other printers in the printer group when the speci-
fied printer is busy (Recovery Printing).
Important
❒ The following must be the same for the specified printer and the print-
ers selected for Recovery Printing.
• Printer models
• Installed options (e.g. Paper Tray)
• Size and orientation of paper in each paper tray
• Total memory
• Installed fonts (including the downloaded fonts)
• Equally divide 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 Parallel Printing.
