Using a TCP/IP Network
Setting Up a Computer for Printing/Sending a Fax
After you have completed the protocol settings for printing and sending a fax with
the machine, you are ready to set up each of the computers for printing or sending
a fax.
■
Connecting to a TCP/IP Network
All computers that use the printer must have TCP/IP client software installed and must be
enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the documentation provided with the
operating system.
■
Installing the Driver and Specifying the Port Setting
To print or send a fax from a computer, you must install a driver and specify a port setting.
The port setting differs depending on the print application used for printing or sending a
fax. Use the following information as a guide to determine the print application you are
using, and then perform the necessary operations.
•
LPD
This is the print application generally used with TCP/IP.
See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw)," on p. 3-25.
•
Raw
This is a print application used with Windows. It can send a job to the machine at higher
speeds than LPD.
See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw)," on p. 3-25.
IMPORTANT
If the settings for [IP Address Range Settings] do not permit the IP address of a computer
in which a driver is installed, you cannot print from the computer. (See step 19 in "TCP/IP
Settings," on p. 3-4.)
NOTE
•
It is recommended that you install Canon LPR2 when using Raw in Windows. Canon
LPR2 enables you to set ports easily. For more information, see Chapter 1, "Using Canon
LPR2," in the
Canon LPR2 User's Guide
(PDF manual) on the UFR II Printer Kit/Super
G3 FAX Board CD-ROM.
•
If Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 is on your network, the following procedure enables
you to set up a print server for more efficient management of network printers. Once a
print server is set up, print jobs can be managed by the print server. Also, by setting up
an alternate driver for the print server, printer drivers can be installed in each computer
via the network.
For instructions on how to set print servers, see the following procedures indicated in the
manual for each driver (The UFR II printer driver is not available for Windows NT.):
