Setting Up a Computer for Printing/Sending a Fax
After you have completed the protocol settings for printing and sending a fax with the machine, you are ready to set up each of the computers for printing or sending a fax.
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 your operating system.
Installing the Driver and Specifying the Port Setting
To print or send a fax from a computer, you must install a driver and specify a port setting. The port setting differs depending on the print application used for printing or sending a fax. Use the following information as a guide to determine the print application you are using, and then perform the necessary operations.
LPD
This is the print application generally used with TCP/IP. (See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw).")
Raw
This is a print application used with Windows. It can send a job to the machine at higher speeds than LPD. (See "Printer Connection Method (LPD/Raw).")
IPP/IPPS
This is a print application that can be used with TCP/IP.
IPP enables you to use the HTTP protocol to send data to a machine on an intranet/the internet.
IPPS is a print application which performs encrypted SSL communication when using IPP. (See "Printer Connection Method (IPP/IPPS).")
FTP
This is a print application that prints files by copying them to the printer using FTP client software. (See "Printer Connection Method (FTP).")
WSD
This is a print application that can be used with Windows Vista/Server 2008/7/Server 2008 R2/8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2. (See "Printer Connection Method (WSD).")

IMPORTANT
If the IP address of the computer in which the driver is installed has not already been given transmission and reception permission in [Firewall Settings] on the Network screen of the machine, print and fax jobs cannot be sent from the computer. (See steps 14 to 16 in "TCP/IPv4 Settings," or steps 12 to 14 in "TCP/IPv6 Settings.")
If you print with IPP, the [Pause Printing] and [Cancel All Documents] settings on the [Printers]/[Printer] menu in the Windows print queue cannot be used. You can display the print queue by double-clicking the icon for the machine that appears by following the procedure below.
Windows XP Professional/Server 2003: From the [Start] menu, select [Printers and Faxes].
Windows XP Home Edition: From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel] - [Printers and Other Hardware] - [Printers and Faxes].
Windows Vista: From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel] → double-click [Printers].
Windows Server 2008: From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel] → double-click [Printer].
Windows 7/Server 2008 R2: From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel] → [View devices and printers] for [Hardware and Sound].
Windows 8/Server 2012: Place the cursor on the top right (bottom right) of the desktop → select [Settings] → [Control Panel] → [Devices and Printers] for [Hardware and Sound]/[Hardware].
