This section describes the flow of setup for connecting the printer to a Windows NT/Windows 2000
server (workstation) using the TCP/IP protocol. To print in a TCP/IP environment, ensure that the
Windows NT/Windows 2000 server (workstation), client, and printer have been assigned their
respective IP addresses to connect to the network. It is necessary to specify at the Windows NT/
Windows 2000 server (workstation), the IP address assigned to the printer using the port settings. A
printer driver compatible with the printer must be used for the setup.
6.1.1 Flow of Setup
There are three possible network printer connections when printing from environ-
ments using Windows NT/Windows 2000:
[1] From a Windows 95/98/Me client through a Windows NT/Windows 2000 server
(workstation)
[2] From a Windows NT/Windows 2000 server (workstation) directly
[3] From a Windows NT/Windows 2000 client through a Windows NT/Windows 2000
server (workstation)
Unless otherwise indicated, the following flow is applicable to all three connections.
Setup for the printer
Set the LPD port to Enable (factory setting: Enable), the protocol used by the
transport layer to TCP/IP and enter the IP address.
