See the Driver Guide for compatible operating systems and computers.
IMPORTANT
• If you are using Windows NT 4.0, install Service Pack 5 or later.
• The machine does not support Macintosh LocalTalk networks.
System Environment Requirements for Using E-Mail
The following system environment is required for using the e-mail functions.
•Compatible mail forwarding server software

protocol. (The machine can only receive error e-mail messages sent when errors occur
during communication.)
