(Windows/UNIX)," on p. 3-33.)
Specify the settings for each computer you use for printing or sending a fax. (To print or send a fax from a computer, the
optional equipment must be installed. For the equipment needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Environment
Requirements," on p. 1-2.)
3
Computer Settings for a File Server (See "Setting Up a Computer as a File Server," on p. 3-53.)
Specify the settings of the computer receiving data sent from the machine. (To send data, the optional equipment must be
installed. For the equipment needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Environment Requirements," on p. 1-2.)
IMPORTANT
•
If you are using the optional Color Network Printer Unit, for step 2, see the manual provided with the
optional Color Network Printer Unit.
•
It is recommended that the network manager perform steps 1 and 3 above.
•
The machine or the printer option does not come with printer driver software that can be used on a
UNIX platform. (Use LPD to set up a printer in UNIX.)
•
To print from a Macintosh, see Chapter 6, "Using an AppleTalk Network (Macintosh)."
•
As this product does not come with fax driver software for the UNIX platform, it is not possible to send a
fax from a UNIX platform.
•
Use the control panel or NetSpot Device Installer if you configure the protocol settings for the first time.
After configuring protocol settings, you can change the content by using a web browser (Remote UI) or
a web browser (NetSpot Console).
