Using the Machine on Your Network

This section provides instructions for using the Canon Color imageCLASS
MF8170c 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/Server 2003 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/Server 2003, you can print even if no
one is logged into the server.
For more information, see the Network Guide.
