Introduction
This manual contains detailed instructions on configuring the machine as a net-
work printer. Read the section appropriate to your network environment on
how to configure the machine correctly.
Important
❒The procedures written in this manual assume that you are a network admin-
istrator. If you are not, be sure to consult your network administrator before
configuration.
Reference
For more information about configuring the Network Interface Board with
the control panel, see the General Settings Guide.

❖❖
❖Features
•Support for 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T, IEEE 1394 (IP over 1394) and IEEE
802.11b.
•The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWare *1 (IPX/SPX,
TCP/IP), Windows NT 4.0 (TCP/IP, NetBEUI *2 , IPP *3 ), Windows 2000
(TCP/IP, NetBEUI *2 , IPP *3 ), Windows XP (TCP/IP, IPP *3 ), Windows
95/98/Me (TCP/IP, NetBEUI *2 , IPP *3 ), UNIX (TCP/IP) and Macintosh
(AppleTalk) *4 protocols. This allows you to use the machine 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 machine to the network
without requiring its own power supply because the Network Interface
Board is installed inside the machine.
*1 If the optional 802.11b Interface Kit has been installed, you cannot use the ad hoc
mode.
*2 To use NetBEUI, use the SmartNetMonitor for Client port.
*3 IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for printing via the Internet.
*4 An optional PS3 module is necessary.

NetWare
For setting up the machine as a network printer in a NetWare environment, see
p.59 “NetWare Configuration”. The Network Interface Board allows you to use
the machine as either a print server or a remote printer.
For more information about setting up the clients, see the following pages.
•See p.78 “Windows 95/98/Me”.
•See p.79 “Windows 2000/XP, Windows NT 4.0”.
Configuring the machine as a print server
A dedicated NetWare print server is not required because the machine can be
configured as a print server.
Actual procedures for configuring the machine depend on the NetWare version.

If a dedicated NetWare print server is being used, the machine should be config-
ured as a remote printer.
The actual procedures for configuring the machine depend on the NetWare ver-
sion, see p.72 “Setting Up as a Remote Printer”.

Printing using the IEEE 802.11b Interface
This section describes how to print after installing the optional 802.11b Interface
Kit.
There are two methods of using this machine as a network printer with IEEE
802.11b.
Note
❒IEEE 802.11b (wireless LAN) is unavailable in some countries, or its use may
be limited.
❖
❖❖
❖ad hoc mode (802.11 ad hoc mode/ad hoc mode)
This is the mode for transmitting between each wireless LAN client. You
must make the channels the same for each wireless LAN client to transmit us-
ing this basic transmitting method which does not require an access point.
When using “802.11b ad hoc mode”, the SSID must be set. The ad hoc mode
settings can be made from telnet or a Web Browser. See p.100 “Using in Ad
hoc Mode”.
TCP/IP
UNIX

9
❖
❖❖
❖infrastructure mode
This is the mode for transmitting via an access point. The SSID *1 must be the
same as the access point. When setting WEP *2 , you must set the same values
as an access point. By connecting the access point to Ethernet, you can trans-
mit the current network environment. See p.100 “Using in Infrastructure
Mode”.
*1 This is called a Service Set ID and is used in the connection between the wireless
LAN client and the access point. Only a wireless LAN client and an access point
that have the same SSID can transmit to each other. (The character strings to be set
are in the range ASCII 0x20-0x7e and the SSID is case-sensitive to 32 bytes.)
*2 This is used to protect coded wireless data transmission. When both the wireless
LAN client and the transmission access point are coded using a 64-bit key, you
must set the same WEP key as the printer. (You can set only 10 hexadecimal char-
acters when using 64-bit or 26 hexadecimal characters when using 128-bit.)

Printing using the IEEE 1394 Interface
This section describes how to print via the IEEE 1394 interface after installing the
1394 Interface Unit.
There are two methods of using the machine as a network printer with IEEE
1394.
❖
❖❖
❖SCSI print
You can print using the SCSI print device provided by Windows 2000 and
Windows XP. For more information, see “Printing with SCSI Print”, Printer
Reference 1 and p.91 “Configuring the Network Interface Board Settings”.
❖
❖❖
❖IP over 1394
You can print by setting the IP address for this machine and the computer on
which Windows Me or Windows XP is installed. For more information, see
“Printing with IP over 1394”, Printer Reference 1 and p.35 “Printing with a
Standard TCP/IP Port”in the Windows XP Configuration.

Configuring Protocols
Configuring TCP/IP and IPP for Printing
These instructions are for configuring the Network Interface Board and Win-
dows 95/98/Me to use the TCP/IP protocol and IPP.
Configuring the machine
Configure the machine to use the TCP/IP protocol.
•Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol is set to active. (The 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 General
Settings Guide.
If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, see p.134 “Using DHCP”.
Note
❒After setting the IP address, use the ping command to make sure that it has
been set correctly.
AEnable the use of the command prompt as follows:
•On Windows 95 or Windows 98
Click [Start], point to [Programs], and then click [MS-DOS Prompt].
•On Windows Me
Click [Start], point to [Programs], point to [Accessories], and then click
[MS-DOS Prompt].
BType the following: (Example IP address is 192.168.15.16)
C:\> ping 192.168.15.16
If the address has been configured correctly, the following message ap-
pears.
Reply from 192.168.15.16 : bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
