Using the Printer on Your Network
You can use the LBP-1120 as a network printer, which enables printing from the
computers over a network. The computer that is directly connected to the printer is
called "print server", and the computers that can use the printer over the network
are called "clients". The print server and clients do not need to use the same
operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 98/Me client to a
Windows 2000/XP printer server, or vice versa.
IMPORTANT
Using the LBP-1120 on your network requires that both the print server and the client
devices are using Windows 98 or later.
NOTE
Even if the server was not running when the client was started, you can start printing
simply by starting the server.
If the server is running on Windows 2000/XP, you can print even if no one is logged into
the server. However there is no status display on the server when no one is logged in.
The display is shown on the client.
Connecting the LBP-1120 as a Network Printer
If you plan to share the LBP-1120 on a network, install the print server locally, then
make the following settings. For detailed information, see you print server system
documentation.
