Introduction
This manual contains detailed instructions on configuring the printer to use it as
a network printer. The actual procedures may differ depending on your network environment. Use the procedure appropriate for your network environment.

Important
❒
The procedures 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 on physically installing the Network Interface Board
and cabling, see the "Printer Reference" that is provided as a paper manual.
For more information on configuring the Network Interface Board with the operation panel, see the "Printer Reference" that is provided as a paper manual.
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 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.

The Network Interface Board allows you to set up the 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, the printer
should be configured as a remote printer.

1. Windows 95/98
Configuration
You can use the printer as a network printer with Windows 95/98 using Multidirect Print, and the TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols. This chapter explains how to
configure your printer and Windows.

Changing the port
Multidirect Print 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.
Configuring the printer
Configure your printer to use the TCP/IP protocol.
• Confirm that the TCP/IP protocol is set to active. (The default setting is active.)
• Assign an IP address and make other settings required for using the TCP/IP
protocol.
