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" and "Sample
Macintosh Network".
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 Chapter 2, "Settings Common to
the Network Protocols," see the following, depending on the protocol:
•
Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP Network"
•
Chapter 4, "Using a NetWare Network (Windows)"
•
Chapter 5, "Using a NetBIOS Network"
•
Chapter 6, "Using an AppleTalk Network (Macintosh)"
IMPORTANT
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," on p. 1-2.
