TCP/IP Network Setup Procedures
To use a TCP/IP network, it is necessary to perform the following procedures.
1.
Protocol Settings
(See "Protocol Settings.")
Specify the protocol settings. To specify the settings, use:
The machine's control panel
The Remote UI (via a web browser)
Canon utilities
2.
Computer Settings for Printing/Sending a Fax
(See "Setting Up a Computer for Printing/Sending a Fax.")
Specify the settings for each computer you use for printing or sending a fax. (Optional equipment is required to print or send a fax from a computer. For the equipment needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Requirements.")
3.
Computer Settings for a File Server (See "Setting Up a Computer as a File Server.")
Specify the settings of the computer receiving data sent from the machine.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that steps 1 and 3 above be performed by the network administrator.
The machine or printing equipment does not come with printer driver software that can be used on a UNIX platform. (Use LPD to set up a printer in UNIX.)
As the fax option does not come with fax driver software for the UNIX platform, it is not possible to send a fax from a UNIX platform.
If you are using the imagePASS, see the manual provided with the imagePASS.
If you are using the imagePASS, some functions are not available with this machine. For details, see the manual provided with the imagePASS.
A pre-determined port must be opened in order to initiate network communication using TCP/IP. The required port can be opened by selecting [On] for all of the [Network] settings in the machine. It is recommended that any unused functions be set to [Off]. When a port is opened, it is possible for a third person to gain unauthorized access.
