Installing a Printer Driver
(for Windows)
To complete the network connection with a
Windows computer, first set
IP addresses for the
printer, and then install a printer driver on the
computer.
If there is no DHCP server or BOOTP server on
the network, you need to manually configure the
IP address on the computer or printer.
If your network administrator or internet service
provider specifies an unique IP address for the
computer and your printer, you need to set the
IP addresses manually.
Note
●
You need to complete the network setting of the computer
before this procedure.
●
To complete this procedure, you must be logged in as an
administrator.
●
When setting an IP address manually, ask the network
administrator or your internet service provider which
IP address to use. If the IP address is set wrong, the
network may go down or Internet access may be disabled.
Memo
● If configuring a small network consisting of only your
printer and a computer, set IP addresses as shown below
(according to RFC1918).
