2-7 E-750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003
Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server
2003 server
If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, Windows
workstations can still print to the E-750. This method of printing is called Windows,
or SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running
Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstations operate
in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the E-750 when users
send print jobs.
Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a
Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server also apply to setting up Windows printing
where a server is not present. The prerequisites are summarized in the following list,
and you can find more detail in your Microsoft documentation.
• Print a Configuration page (see page 5-33 ).
Use the information on this page to determine the current E-750 settings.
• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer (for Windows 98/Me, load File and
printer sharing for Microsoft Network. For Windows 2000/XP load Client for Microsoft
Networks).
• In the Windows Network Control Panel, verify the Workgroup name of the computer.
Make sure that the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in E-750 Setup.
• For Windows 98/Me, in the File and printer sharing for Microsoft Network Properties
dialog box, specify Automatic or Enabled for Browse Master, and select Yes for
LM Announce.
• For Windows 2000/XP, in the Client for Microsoft Networks Properties dialog box,
configure the computer to allow file sharing, and then restart the computer.
• Ping the E-750 to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see page 2-19 ).
