Introduction
This manual contains detailed instructions on configuring the printer as a net-
work printer. Read the section appropriate to your network environment for
how to configure the printer correctly.
Important
❒The procedures written in this manual assume that you are a network administrator.
If you are not, be sure to consult your network administrator before configuration.

❖Features
•Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T
•The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWare (IPX/SPX),
Windows NT (TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPP *1 ), Windows 2000 (TCP/IP, Net-
BEUI, IPP *1 ), Windows 95/98/Me (TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPP *1 ), UNIX
(TCP/IP) 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 with-
out requiring its own power supply because the Network Interface Board
is installed inside the printer.
*1 IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a protocol for printing via the Internet.

Configuring Protocols
Configuring TCP/IP and IPP for Printing
Follow these instructions to configure the Network Interface Board and Win-
dows 95/98/Me to use the TCP/IP protocol and IPP.
Configuring the printer
Configure the printer to use the TCP/IP protocol.
•Confirm that the TCP/IP protocol is set to be active. (The factory default is ac-
tive.)
•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 Setup
Guide that comes with this printer.
If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, see P.107 “When Using DHCP”.

Using PortNavi
PortNavi is a utility that helps you to use network printers effectively. It is useful
in environments where two or more network printers are used. It is recommend-
ed that you install PortNavi to use Parallel Printing and Recovery Printing. For
more information about PortNavi, see PortNavi Help.
❖
❖❖
❖PortNavi features
•Send a print job directly to the network printers without using a print server.
•Notification when a printing error occurs.
•Print documents using other printers in the printer group when the speci-
fied printer is busy (Recovery Printing).
Important
❒The following must be the same for the specified printer and the print-
ers selected for Recovery Printing.
•Printer models
•Installed options (e.g. Paper Tray)
•Size and orientation of paper in each paper tray
•Total memory
•Installed fonts (including the downloaded fonts)
•Equally divide the number of copies to be printed among the selected
printers in the printer group (Parallel Printing).
Important
❒The following must be the same for the specified printer and the print-
ers selected for Parallel Printing.
•Printer models
•Installed options (e.g. Paper Tray)
•Size and orientation of paper in each paper tray
•Total memory
•Installed fonts (including the downloaded fonts)
Limitation
❒To use PortNavi you must install PRINTER MANAGER FOR CLIENT and
use the TCP/IP protocol. For the name of the PRINTER MANAGER FOR
CLIENT you use, see the inside the front cover of this manual.
❒For more information about installing PRINTER MANAGER FOR CLIENT,
see the Setup Guide that comes with this printer.
Note
❒If you use the Multidirect Print port for printing, the port is switched auto-
matically to the PortNavi port.
❒Be sure to close all applications before beginning the installation process. In-
stalling PortNavi may require the computer to be restarted.
