Installing Components on Your Computer

Before configuring the network interface and printing from the computer, you need to install

the necessary components (such as TCP/IP) and assign an IP address and subnet mask

for your computer, depending on the printing method you want to use. See the section in

this chapter appropriate for your operating system.

Note:

❏ The Windows operating system CD-ROM may be required during the installation.

❏ When using TCP/IP for printing, you need to set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the

default gateway of the computer. These may be set automatically if your network uses DHCP.

For Windows Vista, use the following procedure to install the necessary components.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click View network status and tasks or

double-click Network and Sharing Center.

2. Click View Status, and then click the Properties button.

Note:

If the User Account Control screen appears, click the Continue button.
