Checking Your Network Environment
0L3X-1WJ
Refer to the following examples to confirm the network environment that is connected to the machine, and then perform the necessary operations for that environment.
Sample Windows Network
In a Windows network environment, the TCP/IP or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) protocol can be used. Multiple protocols can be used at the same time. In addition to IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4), the machine also supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), and has a dual stack configuration that enables it to communicate with both IPv4 networks and IPv6 networks. You can select whether to use the functions of IPv4 or IPv6. You can also enable the functions of both IPv4 and IPv6. The IPv4 network and IPv6 network used by the machine support IPSec (Security Architecture for Internet Protocol). (See "IPSec Settings.")
To use the e-mail/I-fax function, the TCP/IP protocol is required.
After configuring the settings in accordance with "Connecting the Machine to a Computer or Network," "Interface Settings," and "Communication Environment Setup," specify a TCP/IP or SMB/CIFS network, depending on the protocol.
Sample Macintosh Network
In Mac OS 8/9, the AppleTalk (EtherTalk) protocol is used. In Mac OS X, either the AppleTalk (EtherTalk), TCP/IP, or NetBIOS (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) protocol can be used. To use the e-mail/I-fax function or to send data, the TCP/IP protocol is required.
After configuring the settings in accordance with "Connecting the Machine to a Computer or Network," "Interface Settings," and "Communication Environment Setup," specify an AppleTalk (Macintosh), TCP/IP, or SMB/CIFS network, depending on the protocol.
Sample UNIX Network
With UNIX computers, the TCP/IP protocol is used.
After configuring the settings in accordance with "Connecting the Machine to a Computer or Network," "Interface Settings," and "Communication Environment Setup," set a TCP/IP network.
Using a Network with Various Types of Computers
If there are various types of computers on the network, the network operations you are required to perform depend on the type of computers being used.
For example, if you are using both Windows XP and Macintosh computers, you will need to specify the settings described in both "Sample Windows Network" and "Sample Macintosh Network."
To use the e-mail/I-fax function, the TCP/IP protocol is required.
To use the data sending function, either the TCP/IP or NetBIOS protocol is required.
After configuring the settings in accordance with "Connecting the Machine to a Computer or Network," "Interface Settings," and "Communication Environment Setup," specify a TCP/IP, NetWare, SMB/CIFS, or AppleTalk (Macintosh) network, depending on the protocol.
IMPORTANT
The machine does not support NetBEUI.
The protocol you can use differs depending on the version of Mac OS or type of printer driver. For more information, see "Printing from a Computer (Mac OS)."
If you are using the imagePRESS Server, see the manual provided with the imagePRESS Server. 
If you are using the imagePRESS Server, some functions are not available with this machine. For details, see the manual provided with the imagePRESS Server.
When [Sleep Mode Energy Use] is set to [Low] and the machine is in the Sleep mode, communication failure may occur, depending on the utility software you are using. To avoid this, press (Energy Saver) to cancel the Sleep mode before specifying the setting, or set [Sleep Mode Energy Use] to [High]. (See "Energy Consumption in the Sleep Mode.")
