❖❖❖❖ Raster Printer Language printer drivers
The Raster Printer Language printer driver is the mini-driver that belongs to
the operating system. Installing the file that is included on the CD-ROM sets
the mini-driver as the printer driver of this machine. Printer drivers allow the
computer to communicate with the printer via a printer language.
See p.23 “Windows 95/98/Me - Installing the Raster Printer Language Printer Driver”
See p.24 “Windows 2000/Windows XP- Installing the Raster Printer Language Printer Driver”

----About addresses
❖❖❖❖ Subnet mask
Mask value for using one part of an IP Address as a network address.
❖❖❖❖ Default gateway address
Host or router address used as a gateway when negotiating with (printing, information gathering) a workstation on a different network.
Note
❒ Check with your network administrator for the address to be set.
❒ If you do not know the address to be set, use the factory settings.
----About access control
The access control address and the access control mask are used to limit a printable workstation, by using an IP address. If it is not necessary to limit printing,
set “0.0.0.0”.
1
Note
❒ If the access control address mask and the mask of the address of the work-
station trying to print is the same, then access will be granted.
❒ For example, if the access control address is set to 192.168.15.16, depending
on the mask value, the address of the accessible workstation is as follows:
(XXX can be any value).
Access control mask Accessible Addresses

Requirements
Connecting the Machine
Requirements
Before using this machine, make sure that all the environmental and electrical
requirements have been met. Connect the machine to the host computer using
the parallel port, Network Interface Board, or both.
Make sure that all the cables, connectors, and electrical outlets necessary to attach the machine to the host computer or network are present.
Important
❒ The interface cable is not supplied. It is your responsibility to provide the in-
terface cable appropriate for the computer that you are using.
Reference
For Ethernet Board connection, see p.18 “Connecting the Network Cable to
the Machine”.
For more information about using the parallel port, see p.20 “Connecting the
Machine to the Host Using the Parallel Cable”.
Interface cable requirements
As the cables may differ depending on the type of computer, make sure you
check your computer and prepare the appropriate cable.
1
Note
❒ Use a shielded cable for the interface cable. Using another cable, instead of
shielded cables, may cause radio interference.
Parallel cable requirements
Connect the machine to the host computer using a parallel port. This machine
does not provide the parallel cable to connect the machine to the host computer.
The machine's parallel interface is a standard bidirectional interface. It requires
a standard 36-pin parallel cable compliant with IEEE 1284 and a parallel port
available on the host computer.
Note
❒ Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).

Getting Started
Connecting the Network Cable to the Machine
Important
❒ Before connecting an interface cable between the machine and a computer,
make sure that the machine is not operating, and then turn off the main power
switches of the machine and the computer.
❒ Be sure to use the designated interface cable. Using another cable may cause
radio interference.
After setting up this machine to support the network environment, connect the
Ethernet interface cable. Connect a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cable to the Ethernet board.
Connect the Ethernet interface cable into the Ethernet interface at the right
AAAA
side of the back of the machine.

Getting Started
Connecting the Machine to the Host Using the Parallel Cable
Connect the machine to the host computer using a parallel cable compliant with
IEEE 1284 (available separately).
Follow these steps to connect the machine to the host computer.
Important
❒ Before connecting an interface cable between the machine and a computer,
make sure that the machine is not operating, and then turn off the main power
switches of the machine and the computer.
❒ Be sure to use the designated interface cable. Using another cable may cause
radio interference.
Plug the 36-pin end of the parallel cable into the parallel port at the right
AAAA
side on the back of the machine.
Squeeze the wire clips on each side of the connector together until they
