Connecting to a TCP/IP Network

All computers that use the printer must have TCP/IP client software installed and
must be enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the manuals provided
with the operating system.
Installing the Printer Driver and Specifying the Printer's
Location
NetSpot is software for specifying printer and network settings. To print from a
computer, you must install a printer driver and specify the printer's location. The
printer's location may differ depending on the print application used for printing. Use
the following information as a guide to determine the print application you are
using, and then perform the necessary operations.
• LPD (Line Printer Daemon)
LPD is the print application generally used with TCP/IP. See "Printer Connection
Method (LPD/Raw)," on p. 2-23 to install the printer driver and specify the printer's
location setting.
•
Raw
Raw is a print application used with Windows 2000/XP. It can print at higher
speeds than LPD. See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw)," on p. 2-23 to
install the printer driver and specify the printer's location setting.
•
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
IPP is a print application that can be used with Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP. It
uses the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to print using Internet/intranet
connections. See "Printer Connection Method (IPP)," on p. 2-37 to install the
printer driver and specify the printer's location setting.
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
FTP is a print application that prints files by copying them to the printer using FTP
client software. For details, see "Printer Management," on p. 2-42.
