A number used to mathematically mask or hide the IP addresses on the network by eliminating those parts of the address that are alike for all the machines on the net­work.
❖❖❖❖ Gateway Address
A gateway is a connection or inter­change point that connects two networks. A gateway address is for the router or host computer used as a gateway.
Note
To get the above two addresses,
contact your network adminis­trator.
If you do not know the address-
es, please use the default set­tings.
❖❖❖❖ Access Control Address and Access
Control Mask
Access Control Address and Ac­cess Control Mask are used to con­trol the IP addresses that have access to the computer used for printing, with the IP address. If it is not necessary for you to control the access rights, select “0.0.0.0”.

For more information about the software and utilities, see P.4 “Software and Utilities Included on the CD-ROM”.
Important
Before starting this installation, close all documents and applications. In a net-
work environment, confirm that users who are logged on are disconnected. Be sure to do this when it will create the least interference with other users.
After installing a printer driver, you must restart the computer.

Installing the Printer Driver and Software
Note
If the "plug and play" function is started, click [Cancel] in the [New Hardware
Found], [Device Driver Wizard] or [Found New Hardware Wizard] dialog box, and
then insert the CD-ROM. The [New Hardware Found], [Device Driver Wizard] or [Found New Hardware Wizard] dialog box appears depending on the system ver-
sion of the Windows 95/98/Me or Windows 2000.
The appropriate language name is used for the CD-ROM folder: ENGLISH
(English), DEUTSCH (German), FRANCAIS (French), ITALIANO (Italian), ESPANOL (Spanish), NEDRLNDS (Dutch), NORSK (Norwegian), DANSK (Danish), SVENSKA (Swedish)
❖❖❖❖ User Codes
User Codes are eight digit codes that allow you to keep track of printing done under each code. To use this feature, the network administrator should assign User Codes and inform users of them before they install the printer driver.
With the IPDL-C printer driver, if you want to set a User Code, you must do it when installing the printer driver.
With the RICOH-SCRIPT2 printer driver, only [Off] or [On] can be selected. The numerical value cannot be changed. If [On] is selected, “99999999” is automatically set as a default. So if you want to distinguish between the RICOH-SCRIPT2 and IPDL-C printer drivers, set the different User Code in the IPDL-C printer driver.
In Windows 95/98/Me, if you want to change the User Code, reinstalling the printer driver is required.
In Windows 95/98/Me, changing the printer name makes the User Code ineffective. If you want to set the User Code again, reinstalling the printer driver is required.
----Using the Shared Printer on Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 for
Windows 95/98/Me Client
If you want to share the printer on Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0, install the printer driver for Windows 95/98/Me for an alternate driver.
Note
When using the alternate driver function with the Windows NT 4.0, use the
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 or later.
For more information about installing the printer driver as an alternate driver, see P.39 Windows 2000 - Installing the IPDL-C Printer Driver or P.40 Windows NT 4.0 - Installing the IPDL-C Printer Driver”.
