1.
Open [System Preferences] → click [Print & Fax] or [Print & Scan].
The [Print & Fax] or [Print & Scan] dialog box is displayed.
2.
Click the [+] icon.
If you are using OS X Lion, and there are shared faxes or Bonjour supported faxes on the network, click [+] and select [Add Other Printer or Scanner].
The printer registration dialog box is displayed.
3.
Select [IP] or [IP Printer] → select [Line Printer Daemon - LPD] or [HP Jetdirect - Socket] ([HP Jet Direct - Socket]) from [Protocol].
In environments prior to OS X Lion, if the fax you are going to use is connected using IPv6, click [More Printers], then select [Canon IPv6 (CUPS Fax)].
NOTE
[IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)] is not supported.
4.
Enter the IP address of the fax you are going to use in [Address] → select [Select a driver to use] from [Print Using].
If you are using Mac OS X 10.6 or later, enter the IP address of the fax you are going to use → select [Select Printer Software] from [Print Using].
If the fax you are going to use is connected using IPv6, enter a link-local unicast address or global unicast address for [Address]. If you enter a link-local unicast address, select an interface from [Network Interface] as necessary.
If you are using OS X Lion, when entering a link-local unicast address, set the network interface as required. In [Address], add "%" to the end of the address, then add the network interface.
IMPORTANT
If you are using OS X Lion, although there may be a message saying that you have entered an incorrect address even if you enter the correct address for IPv6, you can still register the fax.
NOTE
If you are using a fax that is connected using IPv6, you can enter an abbreviated notation unicast address. Also, when entering a global unicast address, you can set a DNS name. This option is only available if a DNS server that supports IPv6 has been specified beforehand in the network settings for the computer you are using.
5.
Select the fax driver corresponding to the fax you are going to use from the list.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.6 or later, select the fax driver corresponding to the fax model you are going to use in the [Printer Software] dialog box.
If you are using a fax that is connected using IPv6 and unidirectional printing, select [Unidirectional Printing]. For information on unidirectional printing, see "Communication Methods (Unidirectional and Bidirectional Printing)."
IMPORTANT
If you are using a network interface card (NIC) made by Axis Communications AB, you need to select [Unidirectional Printing] and specify "fax" for [Queue].
You cannot select a printer model that can only be connected via unidirectional printing.
NOTE
For the fax driver name corresponding to your fax, refer to the Readme file. For details on how to view the Readme file, see "Referring to the Readme File and Online Help."
6.
Click [Add].
If you are using an IPv4 connection, when you click [Add], the [Installable Options] dialog box is displayed. Confirm or set the options to be used with the fax you are going to use → click [Continue].
If you are connected using IPv4 with bidirectional printing, since the option settings are automatically updated after the fax has been added, you can click [Continue] without setting the options.
7.
Select the connection method (unidirectional printing or bidirectional printing) for the fax you are using.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the fax model you are using, the connection method supported by the fax model may be automatically set without the above dialog box being displayed.
If you are using a network interface card (NIC) made by Axis Communications AB, select [Unidirectional].
NOTE
For information on unidirectional printing and bidirectional printing, see "Communication Methods (Unidirectional and Bidirectional Printing)."
8.
Confirm that the fax has been added in the [Print & Fax] or [Print & Scan] dialog box → close the [Print & Fax] or [Print & Scan] dialog box.
IMPORTANT
After adding the fax to the system preferences, specify the option settings. For more information, see "Setting Up the Fax Configuration."
NOTE
Confirm that the driver name corresponding to your fax is displayed beside [Kind] on the right-hand side of the [Print & Fax] or [Print & Scan] dialog box.
For the fax driver name corresponding to your fax, refer to the Readme file. For details on how to view the Readme file, see "Referring to the Readme File and Online Help."
