Using a Network with Various Types of Computers

If there are various types of computers on the network, the network operations you are required to perform depend on the type of computers being used.

For example, if you are using Windows XP and Macintosh computers, you will need to specify the settings described in both "Sample Windows Network" and "Sample Macintosh Network".

To use the e-mail/I-fax function, the TCP/IP protocol is required.
To use the data sending function, either the TCP/IP, NetWare, or NetBIOS protocol is required.

After configuring the settings in accordance with "Connecting the Machine to a Computer or Network," "Interface Settings," or "Communication Environment Setup," specify a TCP/IP, NetWare, NetBIOS, or AppleTalk (Macintosh) network, depending on the protocol.


Remark
  • Optional equipment is required to use the e-mail/I-fax functions, or data sending functions for the machine. For the equipment needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Requirements."
