Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing files or a 
printer on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 
4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Using SMB, print data or 
settings can be sent directly to a printer on the same network 
(Ethernet interface) without going through a server. 
For details on how to connect this machine to a Windows network 
using SMB, refer to the System’s Administrator’s Guide.

This machine supports TCP/IP (LPD). The different connections 
are briefly explained below. 
For details on how to connect this machine to a Windows 
computer using TCP/IP, refer to the System’s Administrator’s 
Guide.

Using our TCP/IP Direct Print Utility, print data can be sent directly 
to a printer on the same network (Ethernet interface) without going 
through a server. TCP/IP Direct Print Utility is installed together 
with the print driver.

Using the LPR port for the operating system, print data can be 
sent directly for printing. 
Once the printer registered on a Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, 
or Windows XP computer is shared, you can also send data from 
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me to the shared printer for 
printing.

This machine supports Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). Using IPP, 
you can print to a remote printer through the internet or intranet.
For details on how to set-up Internet printing from a Windows 
2000, Windows XP, or Windows Me through Internet Printing 
Protocol, refer to the System Administrator’s Guide.
