Setting up a Computer for Printing/Sending a Fax

After you have completed the protocol settings for printing and sending a fax with
the machine, you are ready to set up each of the computers for printing or sending
a fax.
■ Connecting to a TCP/IP Network
All computers that use the machine must have TCP/IP client software installed
and must be enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the documentation
provided with the operating system.
■ Installing the Driver and Specifying the Port Setting
To print or send a fax from a computer, you must install a driver and specify a
5
port setting. The port setting differs depending on the application protocols used
for printing or sending a fax. Use the information below as a guide to determine
the application protocol you are using, and then perform the necessary
operations.
• LPD
- LPD is a printing protocol generally used with TCP/IP.
See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw)," on p. 5-3.
• Raw
- Raw is a printing protocol used with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/Server 2003/
Server 2008. It can print at higher speeds than LPD.
See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw)," on p. 5-3.
• WSD
- WSD is a protocol used with Windows Vista/7/Server 2008.
IMPORTANT
• Sending faxes from a computer is available only when the optional Super G3 Fax
Board-AG1 is attached to the machine.
• To print or send a fax from a computer, you must be able to access the machine from
the computer. Make sure that the IP Address Range Settings and Receiving MAC
Address settings in TCP/IP Settings in Network Settings located in System Settings
are set not to deny access from the computer. (See "Restricting Access from
Computers on the Network," on p. 6-21.)
