To use a TCP/IP network, it is necessary to perform the following procedures.

• 1 Protocol Settings (See "Protocol Settings." )

Specify the protocol settings. To specify the settings, use:

• The machine's control panel

• The Remote UI (via a web browser)

• Canon utilities

• 2 Computer Settings for Printing/Sending a Fax (See "Setting Up a Computer for Printing/Sending a Fax.")

Specify the settings for each computer you use for printing or sending a fax. (Optional equipment is required to print or send a fax from a computer. For the equipment needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Requirements.")

• 3 Computer Settings for a File Server (See "Setting Up a Computer as a File Server.")

Specify the settings of the computer receiving data sent from the machine.

• It is recommended that you consult the administrator for the network you are using when performing steps 1 and 3 above.

• The machine or printing equipment does not come with printer driver software that can be used on a UNIX platform. (Use LPD to set up a printer in UNIX.)

• As the fax option does not come with fax driver software for the UNIX platform, it is not possible to send a fax from a UNIX platform.

• If you are using the imagePASS or the ColorPASS, see the manual provided with the imagePASS or the ColorPASS.

• If you are using the imagePASS or the ColorPASS, some functions are not available with this machine. For details, see the manual provided with the imagePASS or the ColorPASS.

• A pre-determined port must be opened in order to initiate network communication using TCP/IP. The required port can be opened by selecting [On] for all of the [Network] settings in the machine. It is recommended that any unused functions be set to 'Off'. When a port is opened, it is possible for a third person to gain unauthorized access.
