INTRODUCTION
This document describes how to set up network servers and user computers to use the
CX3641MFP so that users can print to it as a high-performance networked printer. For
general information about using the copier/printer, your computer, your software, or your
network, see the documentation that accompanies those products.
Setting up the network environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation
of the network administrator. Detailed instructions for configuring networks is beyond the
scope of this document. For information, see your network documentation.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 8
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the CX3641MFP.
CX3641MFP on the network
When the CX3641MFP is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer.
The CX3641MFP supports the following network protocols (rules that enable computers
on a network to communicate with each other):
• AppleTalk, Bonjour
• TCP/IP, which also includes the BOOTP, DHCP, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, IPP, IPv4,
IPv6, LDAP, LPD, NBT, POP3, Port 9100, SMB, SMTP, SNMP, SNTP, and
SSL/TLS protocols
These protocols can run concurrently on the same cable. Computers that use other
protocols can print through a server that uses one of the supported protocols. The
CX3641MFP is auto-sensing, and handles all connections simultaneously.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 9
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
1 Configuring the network environment
Configure network servers to provide users with access to the CX3641MFP as a
networked printer. For information about configuring network servers in Windows
environments as they relate specifically to the CX3641MFP, see page 11. For information
about using your network, see your network documentation.
2 Physically connecting the CX3641MFP to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the CX3641MFP. Obtain cable, route it to the location where
the CX3641MFP is to be installed, and attach the cable to the network connector of the
CX3641MFP. For details, see page 18.
3 Setting up the CX3641MFP
Configure the CX3641MFP for your printing and network environment (see page 21).
4 Preparing user computers for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install user software, and connect the user computers
to the network. The software installation is described in Printing from Windows and
Printing from Mac OS.
5 Administering the CX3641MFP
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that may arise
(see “Administering the CX3641MFP” on page 28).
