Required System Environment This section describes the system environments that are supported by the network interface board of the printer. System Environment Required for Printing The lists below describe the system environments required to support the network in use. Using a TCP/IP Network for Printing Compatible Server Operating Systems: •...
• IBM PC or IBM PC compatible PC. Using a NetBIOS Network for Printing Compatible Operating Systems: • Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95 Compatible Computers: • IBM PC or IBM PC compatible PC. Required Memory: • 16MB or more Important If you are using Windows NT 4.0, install Service Pack 5 or later.
If the network is like the network environment shown in the illustration below, you can print with a few simple settings if you use NetBIOS protocol. By installing the software utility Canon LPR Port on each computer, you can also use TCP/IP protocol.
TCP/IP protocol. Computers with Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT can use the TCP/IP functions of the operating system to print. By installing the software utility Canon LPR Port on each computer using Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95, you can also use Canon LPR port to print.
UNIX Server or Linux Server If the network is like the network environment shown in the illustration below, you can print using TCP/IP protocol. If you print through a UNIX or Linux server set up as a print server, then the Windows computer can be released from print job processing much earlier, thus increasing the efficiency of your system.
® NetWare server If the network is like the network environment shown in the illustration below, you can print using NetWare must be installed on every server computer and client computer. For details about settings, refer to the pages below. •...

If you are using a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server, selecting the IP address for the printer is not required. However, the IP address changes every time the printer is powered on, so in order to access the printer every time the printer is switched on, the IP address must be checked.
Start NetSpot as the system administrator. Note When the icon for the printer that you want to set is displayed in NetSpot, the printer and computer are communicating normally, so the following procedure is not required. Set the printer protocol directly.
