Before You Start
Checking Your Network Environment
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.
IMPORTANT
If you are using the optional imagePASS, see the manual provided with the optional
imagePASS.
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. The functions of IPv4 are
always enabled, and you can select whether to use the functions of IPv6.
To use the e-mail/I-fax function, the TCP/IP protocol is required.
After configuring the settings in accordance with Chapter 2, "Settings Common to
the Network Protocols," see the following, depending on the protocol:
• Chapter 3, "Using a TCP/IP Network"
• Chapter 5, "Using a NetBIOS Network"
IMPORTANT
•
Optional equipment is required to use the e-mail/I-fax functions. For the equipment
needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Requirements," on p. 1-2.
•
The machine does not support NetBEUI.
•
The IPv6 network of the machine does not support encryption using IPsec (Security
Architecture for Internet Protocol).
•
If you are using the optional imagePASS, you cannot use the functions of IPv6.
