Using a Network with Various Types of Computers
If there are various types of computers on the network, the network operations you are required to
perform depend on the type of computers being used.
For example, if you are using Windows XP and Macintosh computers, you will need to specify the settings
described in both "Sample Windows Network(p.1-19)" and "Sample Macintosh Network(p.1-20)".
To use the e-mail/I-fax function, the TCP/IP protocol is required.
To use the data sending function, either the TCP/IP, NetWare, or NetBIOS protocol is required.
After configuring the settings in accordance with "Connecting the Machine to a Computer or
Network(p.2-3)," "Interface Settings(p.2-10)," or "Communication Environment Setup(p.2-13),"
specify a TCP/IP, NetWare, NetBIOS, or AppleTalk (Macintosh) network, depending on the protocol.
Remark
Optional equipment is required to use the e-mail/I-fax
functions, or data sending functions for the machine.
For the equipment needed, see "Optional Equipment
and System Requirements(p.1-2)."
