Setting up a Computer for Printing
After you have completed the protocol settings of the machine, you are ready to set
up each of the computers for printing.
■
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 Printer Driver and Specifying the Printer Destination Setting
To print from a computer, you must install a printer driver and specify a setting for the
printer destination. The printer destination setting differs depending on the print
application used for printing. Use the following information as a guide to determine the
print application you are using, and then perform the necessary operations.
•
LPD
- LPD is the print application generally used with TCP/IP. See “Printer Connection
•
Raw
- Raw is a print application used with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/Server 2003/Server
2008. It can print at higher speeds than LPD. See “Printer Connection Method (LPD/
Raw),” on p. 4-3.
IMPORTANT
To print from a computer, you must be able to access the machine from the computer.
Make sure that the settings of <IP Address Range> and <RX MAC Address Set.> are set
not to deny access from the computer. (See “Access Control,” on p. 2-38.)
NOTE
If Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/Server 2003/Server 2008 or Mac OS X (10.4.9 or later) is on
your network, you can set up a print server for more efficient management of network
printers. Once a print server is set up, it can manage the print jobs. Also, by setting up a
driver for the print server, the printer driver can be installed in each computer via the
network.
