Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing file or printer through the network. It is supported
by Windows OS. You can use NetBEUI or TCP/IP as the transport protocol for SMB. This section
explains the operating environment and setting up procedure for using SMB. Before setting up SMB,
check the following information.
7.1.1 System structure
SMB operates in an environment where the port is set and the printer connected to the
internet network. It uses NetBEUI or TCP/IP as the transport protocol.
• You can use either NetBEUI or TCP/IP, or even both as the transport protocol for
SMB. When setting up the printer, refer to "7.2 Setting NetBEUI in Printer" for
details on NetBEUI and to "7.3 Setting TCP/IP in Printer" for TCP/IP.
• You will need to set up the IP address in the computer and printer if you are
using TCP/IP.
