Setup
Follow the procedure below to make
network environment settings.
A
Enable TCP/IP with the control
panel, and then set up the print-
er’s network environment about
TCP/IP including IP addresses.
TCP/IP of the printer is set as de-
fault.
B
Install a TCP/IP in Windows to set
up the network environment.
Consult the network administrator
for the local setting information.
C
To print under Windows 2000/XP,
Windows Server 2003, or Win-
dows NT 4.0, install “Printing
service for UNIX” as the network
application. To print under Win-
dows NT 4.0, install “Microsoft
TCP/IP printing” as the network
application.
Reference
For details about setting the IP
address of the printer using
DHCP, see p.139 “Using DH-
CP”.
This completes the setup for
specifying a printer using an IP
address when printing. When
using a host name to specify a
printer, proceed to p.133 “Using
a Host Name Instead of an IP
Address” and continue the set-
up.
Using a Host Name Instead of
an IP Address
When a host name is defined, you can
specify a printer by host name instead
of IP address. The host names vary
depending on the network environ-
ment.
When using DNS
Use the host name set to the data file
on the DNS server.
When setting the IP address of a printer
using DHCP
Use the printer name on the configu-
ration page as the host name.

uration page, see Printer Refer-
