E-820 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0 server
If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server, Windows 9x/Me and
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations can still print to the E-820. This method of
printing is called Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment,
computers running Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstations
operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the E-820 when
users send print jobs.
Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a
Windows NT 4.0/2000 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
).
Use the information on this page to determine the current E-820 settings.
•
Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer (for Windows 9x/Me, load File and
printer sharing for Microsoft Network. For Windows 2000/XP load Client for Microsoft
Networks).
•
Verify the Workgroup name of the computer in the Windows Network control panel.
Make sure the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in E-820 Setup.
•
For Windows 9x/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-820 to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see
