About Sharing the Printer on a
Network
If you work in a networked environment, you can connect your
printer to the network.
Locally-Shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer,
which is called the “host computer” on the network. The printer
can then be shared by other users on the network through a
Windows 9x/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000 network printer connection.
Wired Network-connected Printer
A CLP-550N printer has a built-in network interface. For more
information about connecting your printer to the network, see
page F.12.
To use a CLP-550 printer as a network printer, you need to install
an optional network interface card in your printer. See page F.8
for information about installing the card.
Wireless Network-connected Printer
To use your printer in a wireless network environment, you need
to install an optional wired/wireless network interface card in
your printer. See page F.8.
Printing Across a Network
Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected,
you need to install the CLP-550 series printer software on each
computer that prints documents using the printer.
