Protocol Settings - Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4251/4245/4235/4225 e-Manual

Protocol Settings

This section describes how to specify the protocol settings for the machine using the control panel. 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."

TCP/IP Settings

SMB and WINS Settings

TCP/IP Settings

Specify the TCP/IP settings.

If you have not entered the TCP/IP settings yet, enter them now. (For more information, see "TCP/IPv4 Settings," "TCP/IPv6 Settings," or "Settings Common to TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6.")

SMB and WINS Settings

To resolve a name with WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), specify the WINS settings using the following procedure. WINS is a service for associating a NetBIOS name (which is a computer name or printer name on an SMB/CIFS network) with an IP address. To use WINS, specify the IP address settings for the WINS server.

Press

(Settings/Registration).

Press [Preferences] → [Network] → [SMB Server Settings].

Press [On] for <Use SMB Server> → specify the following items.

Press [Off] for <Use SMB Server> if you do not want to use the SMB server.

[Server Name]: Enter the name of the computer that the machine will belong to. Be sure to enter a name that is not being used by another computer or printer on the network.

[Workgroup Name]: Enter the name of the workgroup that the machine will belong to. If there are no workgroups in the environment you are using, create a workgroup in Windows and enter the name of that workgroup.

[Comment]: If necessary, you can enter a comment relating to the machine. When viewing the printer information, the comment entered here is displayed.

[On] for <LM Announce>: The LAN Manager can be informed of the existence of the machine.

[Off] for <LM Announce>: If the LAN Manager is not required to browse the machine, selecting [Off] reduces network traffic.

IMPORTANT
You cannot enter the domain name for [Workgroup Name]. You cannot enter a character string in [Server Name] and [Workgroup Name] that includes spaces. If you are using Windows, an access error may occur if you use only numbers for [Server Name].

Press [Set SMB Printer] → specify the SMB printer settings → press [OK].

If you want to use SMB printing, press [On] for <Use SMB>.

[Printer Name]: Enter the printer name of the machine.

IMPORTANT
You cannot enter a character string in [Printer Name] that includes spaces. Depending on the machine you are using, optional equipment is required for printing from a computer or sending a fax. For information on the optional products required, see "Optional Equipment and System Requirements."

Press [SMB Auth. Settings] → specify the SMB authentication settings → press [OK].

If you want to restrict SMB printing to users who have User Access Control for Advanced Box authentication, press [On] for <Use SMB Authentication>. (For more information on User Access Control for the Advanced Box, see "User Access Control for Advanced Box.")

For SMB printing, you can select NTLMv1 and NTLMv2 individually or together.

[NTLMv1] for <Authentication Type>: You can use NTLMv1 authentication. Specify this setting if you are using Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003.

[NTLMv2] for <Authentication Type>: You can use NTLMv2 authentication. Specify this setting if you are using Windows Vista/Server 2008.

Press [OK] → [TCP/IP Settings].

Press [WINS Settings] for [TCP/IP Settings] → specify the following items → press [OK].

If you want to use WINS name resolution, press [On] for <WINS Resolution>. Enter the IP address of a WINS server in [WINS Server Address].

Set the scope ID if a scope ID is set on the computer in the network environment you are using. Press [Scope ID]. Enter the scope ID → press [OK].

IMPORTANT
If DHCP determines the IP address, the IP address obtained from a DHCP server is overwritten with the IP address of a WINS server (obtained from the DHCP server), whenever possible. The scope ID is an identifier for determining the range available to a printer or computer. The scope ID set here is used regardless of the setting for <WINS Resolution>. If you set a scope ID, the machine cannot communicate with any computer whose scope ID is different from the scope ID you set here. If a scope ID is not set on any of the computers in your network environment, leave [Scope ID] blank. If you set <WINS Resolution> to 'On' with both [Server Name] and [Workgroup Name] set in [SMB Server Settings], the WINS name registration function will be enabled even if you set <Use SMB Server> to 'Off'.
