Using the Machine on Your Network

This section provides instructions for using the Canon imageCLASS MF5500
Series machine on your network.
By setting your machine as a shared printer on your network, the network users can
2
share the machine for printing. The print server and clients do not need to use the
same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 98/Me client to a
Windows 2000/XP print server, or vice versa.
You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not
running when the client was started.
If the server is running on Windows 2000/XP, you can print even if no one is logged
into the server.

Setting the Machine as a Shared Printer

If you plan to share your Canon imageCLASS MF5500 Series machine on a
network, install the print server locally, then make the following settings. For more
information, see your print server system documentation.
