Setting Up a Computer for Printing

After you have completed the protocol settings of the machine, you are ready to set

up each of the computers for printing.

■

Connecting to a TCP/IP Network

All computers that use the printer must have TCP/IP client software installed and must be

enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the manuals provided with the operating

system.

■ Installing the Printer Driver and Specifying the Printer Destination Setting

To print from a computer, you must install a printer driver and specify a setting for the

printer destination. The printer destination setting differs depending on the print protocol

used for printing. Use the following information as a guide to determine the print protocol

you are using, and then perform the necessary operations.

•

LPD (Line Printer Daemon)

This is the print protocol generally used with TCP/IP. See "Printer Connection Method

(LPD/Raw)," on p. 2-16 to install the printer driver and to specify the printer destination

setting.

•

Raw

This is the print protocol used with Windows 2000/XP. It can print at higher speeds than

LPD. See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw)," on p. 2-16 to install the printer driver

and to specify the printer destination setting.

NOTE

Configuration of Windows 2000/XP as a print server provides efficient management of

your network printer. For the detailed procedure, see "Print Server Settings," on p. 2-19.
