5. Special Operations under Printing Files Directly from Windows You can print files directly using Windows commands. For example, you can print PostScript files for Post- Script 3. ❖ Windows 95/98/Me You can print files directly using ftp command. ❖ Windows 2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows NT 4.0 You can print files directly using lpr, rcp or ftp command.
Special Operations under Windows In other cases Add the IP address and host name of the network printer to the hosts file on the computer used for printing. Methods of addition vary depending on operating systems. Windows 95/98/Me Copy \WINDOWS\HOSTS.SAM to the same directory and name it “HOSTS”...

Using DHCP You can use the printer in a DHCP en- vironment. You can also register the printer NetBIOS name on a WINS server when it is running. If you connect an Ethernet interface and IEEE 1394 (IP over 1394) interface simultaneously, pay attention to the following: ❖...
Appendix ❖ When there are static IP addresses and addresses assigned by DHCP • IP Address and subnet mask: if a static IP address is the same as an address assigned by DHCP, or the static subnet mask address and the subnet mask address as- signed by DHCP overlap, the machine uses the static IP ad- dress interface.
Precautions Please pay attention to the following when using the network interface board. When configuration is neces- sary, follow the appropriate proce- dures below. Connecting a Dial-Up Router to a Network When using NetWare (file server) If the NetWare file server and printer are on opposite sides of a router, packets are sent back and forth con- tinuously, possibly incurring com-...
Page 148
Appendix When Using Network Utility If the machine is connected to a net- work, observe the following points when setting up the machine or changing settings: For more details, see the operating in- structions and Help for the ScanRouter delivery software and DeskTopBinder Lite/Professional.
NetWare Printing Form feed You should not configure form feed on NetWare. Form feed is controlled by the printer driver on Windows. If NetWare form feed is configured, the printer might not work properly. If you want to change form feed set- tings, always configure them using Windows.
Appendix When the optional IEEE 802.11b interface unit Is Installed When using the wireless LAN inter- face on the network, note the follow- ing: ❖ When moving the machine Detach the antennas when relocat- ing the machine locally. After moving the machine, reat- tach the antennas, ensuring that: •...
