However, communication may still be disrupted for several tens of seconds immediately after you change the way that network devices are connected, or if you add a new device.

0ALJ-08Y Configuring SMB Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing resources, such as files and printers, with more than one device in a network. The machine uses SMB to store scanned documents into a shared folder. Depending on your network, you may have to set the NetBIOS name and workgroup name. NetBIOS Name In a Windows network that uses NetBIOS, NetBIOS names are used for identifying network-connected computers as well as for file sharing and other network services.

0ALJ-090 Configuring WINS Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is a name resolution service that associates a NetBIOS name (a computer or printer name in an SMB network) with an IP address. To enable WINS, the WINS server must be specified. IMPORTANT In order to specify WINS server settings, NetBIOS name and workgroup name are required to be set.
Page 382 [WINS Resolution] Select the check box to use WINS for name resolution. When not using WINS, clear the check box. [WINS Server Address] Enter the IP address of the WINS server. IMPORTANT: If the IP address of the WINS server is obtained from a DHCP server, the obtained IP address overrides the IP address entered in the [WINS Server Address] text box.

0ALJ-0A1 Disabling Remote UI The Remote UI is useful because the machine settings can be specified by using a Web browser on a computer. To use the Remote UI, the machine must be connected to a computer over the network. If the machine is connected to a computer via USB, or if you do not need to use the Remote UI, you might want to disable the Remote UI to reduce the risk of having your machine controlled remotely over the network by malicious third parties.

Page 431: Enabling Ssl Encrypted Communication For The Remote Ui
0ALJ-0A4 Enabling SSL Encrypted Communication for the Remote UI You can encrypt communication between the machine and a Web browser on the computer by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is a mechanism for encrypting data sent or received over the network. SSL must be enabled when the Remote UI is used for specifying settings for IPSec (Pre-Shared Key Method), IEEE 802.1X authentication (TTLS/PEAP), or SNMPv3.

Page 434: Configuring Ipsec Settings
0ALJ-0A5 Configuring IPSec Settings Internet Protocol Security (IPSec or IPsec) is a protocol suite for encrypting data transported over a network, including Internet networks. While SSL only encrypts data used on a specific application, such as a Web browser or an e-mail application, IPSec encrypts either whole IP packets or the payloads of IP packets, offering a more versatile security system.
Page 435 Configuring IPSec Settings Before using IPSec for encrypted communication, you need to register security policies (SP). A security policy consists of the groups of settings described below. Up to 10 policies can be registered. After registering policies, specify the order in which they are applied. Selector Selector defines conditions for IP packets to apply IPSec communication.
Page 436 Select the [Use IPSec] check box and click [OK]. If you want the machine to only receive packets that match one of the security policies that you define in the steps below, clear the [Receive Non-Policy Packets] check box. Click [Register New Policy...]. Specify the Policy Settings.

A typical 802.1X network consists of a RADIUS server (authentication server), LAN switch (authenticator), and client devices with authentication software (supplicants). If a device tries to connect to the 802.1X network, the device must go through user authentication in order to prove that the connection is made by an authorized user.

Page 599: Maintaining And Improving Print Quality
0ALJ-0EA Maintaining and Improving Print Quality If the printing results are not satisfactory such as low image quality, poor reproducibility, or print color mismatch, try the adjustments below. Auto Adjust Gradation If the density or brightness of colors in printouts and originals are different, perform <Auto Adjust Gradation> to improve color reproducibility.
Page 600: Correcting The Gradation
0ALJ-0EC Correcting the Gradation Gradation refers to the dark to light continuum of shades of a color. The more shades in the gradations of colors that are printed, the more natural printouts seem. If color reproducibility becomes poor and the density and brightness of printouts differs markedly from the originals, perform the appropriate auto adjustment.
Page 601 Place the adjustment image on the platen glass with the print side face down. Place the adjustment image so that the black stripe is toward the back side of the machine. Gently close the feeder. Press (Color). The adjustment image is scanned and adjustment starts. In approximately 30 seconds, the second adjustment image is printed. Open the feeder, remove the first adjustment image, and then place the second adjustment image on the platen glass with the print side face down.
Page 602 Quick Adjust This adjustment maintains the optimized status that was acquired by <Full Adjust>. Note that you cannot perform this adjustment while performing some functions, including, scanning, and printing. If the result of this adjustment is not satisfactory, perform <Full Adjust>. This adjustment may be automatically performed after you replace a toner cartridge.
Page 603 Confirm the procedure, and press Adjustment starts. In approximately 1 minute, an adjustment image is printed. Open the feeder after the screen displayed during printing disappears. Place the adjustment image on the platen glass with the print side face down. Place the adjustment image so that the black stripe is toward the back side of the machine.
Page 604: Correcting "Print Color Mismatch
0ALJ-0EF Correcting "Print Color Mismatch" Print color mismatch refers to a shift in the positions of colors that may occur when printing one image with multiple toner cartridges. Print color mismatch can cause printouts to appear blurry. If print color mismatch occurs, perform the following procedure. This adjustment is sometimes performed automatically, such as when toner cartridges are replaced.
