❖Features
•Support for 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T, 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) 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.

Printing using the IEEE 802.11b Interface
This section describes how to print after installing the optional 802.11b Interface
Unit.
There are two methods of using this machine as a network printer with IEEE
802.11b.
❖
❖❖
❖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. See
p.87 “Using the IEEE 802.11b (Wireless LAN)”.
TCP/IP
UNIX

ix
❖
❖❖
❖infrastructure mode
This is the mode for transmitting via an access point. If an SSID *1 and WEP
*2 are set in the access point, you must set the same values for the access point
and IEEE 802.11b. By connecting the access point to Ethernet, you can trans-
mit the current network environment. See p.87 “Using the IEEE 802.11b
(Wireless LAN)”.
*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. To transmit between
wireless LAN clients and the coded access point, you must set the same WEP key
as the printer. (You can set only 10 hexadecimal characters.)

Printing using the IEEE 1394 Interface
This section describes how to print via the IEEE 1394 interface after installing the
1394 Interface Unit Type 4510.
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 ”IEEE 1394 Configuration”in the
Setup Guide.
❖
❖❖
❖IP over 1394
You can print by setting the IP address for this machine and the computer on
which Windows XP is installed. For more information, see “IEEE 1394 Con-
figuration”in the Setup Guide and p.25 “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 Setup
Guide.
If DHCP is used to assign IP addresses, see p.121 “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 [Command Prompt].
•On Windows Me
Click [Start], point to [Programs], point to [Accessories], and then click
[Command Prompt].
