Using Windows 2000 - Canon iR 3250 Network Manual

Using Windows 2000

You can use Windows 2000 in two different ways, using file sharing on a NetBIOS network (Win-
dows file sharing), or using a Windows 2000 Server as an FTP server.
IMPORTANT
• The machine is not compatible with the Windows 2000 Active Directory.
• The machine cannot send files to shared folders linked through the Windows 2000 Distributed File System
(DFS). Files should be sent directly to the file server containing the linked shared folder.
• It is recommended that Windows 2000 settings be made by the Network manager.
