This section describes how to set up the environment for communication between the machine and computers on your network. If you are configuring the settings for the first time, use the control panel of the machine.
After configuring the settings, you can change them using software other than the control panel of the machine. For more information, see "Settings/Registration Table."

The machine supports the SNMP v. 1 and SNMP v. 3 management functions. You can use them simultaneously. The [Read Only]/[Read/Write] functions of SNMP v. 1 and the security functions of SNMP v. 3, such as an encrypted communication path, enable you to manage devices more securely. The combinations of SNMP v. 1 and SNMP v. 3 functions you can use are shown below:
If you want to use a Canon printer driver or utility, specify the following settings:
Press [On] for <Use SNMP v. 1> → [Dedicated Comm. Settings]. Press [On] for <Dedicated Community> → [Read/Write] for <MIB Access Permission>.
Press [On] for [Dedicated Port Settings].
You can restrict the IP addresses of computers on which items can be set or browsed. If you restrict IP addresses, it is not possible to set or browse detailed information concerning the machine on computers other than those whose IP addresses are allowed to send or receive data, even if <Use SNMP v. 1>, <Use SNMP v. 3>, and [Dedicated Port Settings] are set to 'On'. For more information, see "TCP/IPv4 Settings" and "TCP/IPv6 Settings."

If you want to use the machine as a remote fax server machine, set [Dedicated Port Settings] to 'On'. For information on the remote fax settings, see "Remote Fax TX Settings."
You can restrict the IP addresses of computers on which items can be set or browsed. If you restrict IP addresses, it is not possible to set or browse detailed information concerning the machine on computers other than those whose IP addresses are allowed to send or receive data, even if <Use SNMP v. 1>, <Use SNMP v. 3>, and [Dedicated Port Settings] are set to 'On'.

If the PS Printer Kit is activated, take note of the following:
If you print a file in PDF, XPS, or PS format by specifying its URL on the Remote UI, the print job will always be spooled, regardless of the settings made under this option.
|
|
NOTE
|
|
When you spool a print job on the machine's hard disk, the time required to release a computer outputting a print job is shortened.
