Cautions to Take When Using in a network

Connecting a Dial-up Router to a Network

When the NetWare file server and printer are on opposite sides of a router, pack-
ets are sent back and forth, causing communication charges to be incurred. Be-
cause packet transmission is a specification of NetWare, you need to change the
configuration of the router. If the network you are using does not allow you to
configure the router, configure the printer instead.
Configuring the router
Filter packets so that they do not pass over the dial-up router.
❒ The MAC address of the printer doing the filtering is printed on the printer con-
figuration page. For details about printing a configuration page, see
"Printing a Configuration
❒ For details about configuring the printer if the router cannot be configured, see
the instructions below.
Configuring the printer with NetWare
A
Configure the file server.
B
Set the frame type for a NetWare environment.
For details about selecting a frame type, see
parameters".
Configuring the printer without NetWare
A
When not printing, the network interface board sends packets over the
network. Set NetWare to "inactive".
For details about selecting protocols, see
rameters".

Using DHCP

This printer can be used in a DHCP environment. In a WINS server environment,
the printer name can simultaneously be registered with a WINS server.
Note the following points when an Ethernet interface and an IEEE 1394 (IP over
1394) interface are simultaneously installed.
