This unit can handle various network environments flexibly and is equipped with the following network functions. 10Base-T/100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet) automatic selection It supports for multiple protocols (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk (EtherTalk)) Through dedicated utilities, it supports IP Peer-to-Peer printing through TCP/IP from Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me. Through dedicated utilities, it supports IPX Peer-to-Peer printing through IPX/SPX from MicroSoft Windows 95/98/Me. It supports LPD/LPR on TCP/IP for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP. It supports lpd/lpr on TCP/IP for UNIX. It supports Novell NetWare printer server functions and supports both bindary mode and Novell Directory Service (NDS). It supports AppleTalk on Macintosh. An HTTP server is built in and through links with the accessory Management Access Program (MAP), standard web browser, etc., the printing system can be managed. It supports for acquiring IP addresses automatically through DHCP It supports for setting up Netware on NWSetup utility for Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP. It supports for assigning IP addresses on BOOTP Lite utility for Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP. It supports printing from various UNIX systems through UNIX-TCP/IP Programs.
Use with peer-to-peer connections (Windows 95/98/Me)
With LAN (Local Area Network) comprised solely of computers running Windows 95/98/Me, the printer can be used even without a dedicated printer server. In this case, the print controller is connected to the network with a connection configuration called peer-to-peer.
Peer-to-peer: A network configuration that connects computers under equivalent conditions without using a central server.

17-2. Network function usage
Connection with the network
Please connect the UTP cable (Category 5 recommended) connected to the network to the Ethernet connector (RJ-45) of the print controller (network controller).
The settings required for connecting to the network depend on the environment of the network the print controller is connected to, the OS of the computers making up the network, etc. Make the settings required to match the environment into which this system is being introduced.
Network setting method
There are the following two methods for making the print controller network settings. Setting from the copier control panel Load the setting screen from the copier's control panel and set the network functions.
For the method setting the network functions from the copier's control panel, refer to [Chapter 18 Setting from the Control Panel] ( page Page 451)
Setting using the Web Utilities This sets the network controller from a computer connected to the network using the Web Utilities.
For details on the Web Utilities, refer to the Web Utilities user's manual.

Check such information as the MAC address and ROM version for the network controller. Update NIC ( Page 458)
The "Network setting" items are updated to the changed contents. Print on Startup ( Page 462)
This sets whether or not to output the "Network settings list" immediately after the copier power is switched on. TCP/IP Setup ( Page 464)
This sets the items required for communicating with TCP/IP. NetWare Setup ( Page 482)
This sets the items required for communicating with NetWare. AppleTalk Setup ( Page 501)
This sets the items required for communicating with AppleTalk. WINS Setup ( Page 508)
This sets the items required for searching with NetBIOS. FTP Setup ( Page 515)
This sets the items for sending scanned images from the print controller to the FTP server. Email Setup ( Page 520)
This sets the items required for sending scanned images from the print controller as email attachments. DNS Setup ( Page 535)
This sets the items required for using a DNS server in the network to which the print controller is connected. Admin Password ( Page 460)
This is used for changing the Network controller password. Factory Default ( Page 540)
This returns the "Network settings" to their default state (the factory defaults).

IP address settings
There are the following two methods for setting the IP address etc. for the network controller. Assigning the IP address automatically with the DHCP server When managing IP addresses with the DHCP server on the network that the network controller is connected to, there is no need to set a unique IP address for the network controller. The IP address can be acquired automatically from the DHCP server. Setting a unique IP address for the network controller When setting individual IP addresses for equipment connected to the network, the IP address assigned to the network controller is set with manual input. In this case, it is also necessary to set the sub-net mask and other information with manual input.
For details on management methods for network IP addresses etc., check with the network administrator. For details on making network settings manually, check with the network administrator. When making network settings manually, in addition to the method explained here using the Copier's control panel, you can also use a web utility. For details, refer to the Web Utilities user's manual.
