Using a TCP/IP Network
IMPORTANT
•
Optional equipment is required to print or send a fax from a computer. For the equipment
needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Requirements," on p. 1-2.
•
If the settings for <RX/Print Range> in [IP Address Range Settings] do not permit the IP
address of a computer in which a driver is installed, you cannot print from the computer.
(See step 12 in "TCP/IP Settings," on p. 3-3.)
•
If you print with IPP, the [Pause Printing] and [Cancel All Documents] settings on the
[Printer] menu in the Windows print queue cannot be used. (To view the print queue, click
the [Start] menu
➞
point to [Settings]
➞
click [Printers]
➞
double-click the icon of the
machine.)
NOTE
•
It is recommended that you install Canon LPR2 when using Raw or IPP in Windows.
Canon LPR2 enables you to set ports easily. For more information, see Chapter 1, "Using
Canon LPR2," in the Canon LPR2 User's Guide (PDF manual). For instructions on how
to display the Canon LPR2 User's Guide, see the Network Quick Start Guide.

If Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 is on your network, the following procedure enables
you to set up a print server for more efficient management of network printers. Once a
print server is set up, print jobs can be managed by the print server. Also, by setting up
an alternate driver for the print server, printer drivers can be installed in each computer
via the network.
For instructions on how to set print servers, see the following procedures indicated in the
manual for each driver. (Since the UFR II printer driver is not supported by Windows 98/
Me, it cannot be used as an alternative driver.)
- If you want to use the PCL printer driver
See the procedure for alternative printer driver installation in Chapter 2, "Getting
Started," in the PCL Driver Guide.
- If you want to use the PS printer driver
See the procedure for alternative printer driver installation in Chapter 2, "Getting
Started," in the PS Driver Guide.
