Setting Up a Computer for Printing/Sending a Fax
(Windows/UNIX)
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 manuals 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. 3-55.
•
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. 3-55.
•
IPP/IPPS
This is a print application that can be used with Windows. IPP enables you to use the
HTTP protocol to send data to a machine on an intranet/the internet. IPPS is a print
application which performs encrypted SSL communication when using IPP.
See "Printer Connection Method (IPP/IPPS)," on p. 3-66.
•
FTP
This is a print application that prints files by copying them to the printer using FTP client
software.
See "Printer Connection Method (FTP)," on p. 3-70.
•
SMB
This is a print application that can be used with NetBIOS network.
See Chapter 5, "Using a NetBIOS Network."
