Chapter 3  Peer-to-Peer Printing (Windows 95/98)

3-2  KN-304  Network Board

In a LAN, which has no print server but consists only of Windows 95/98 computers, those computers and

printers can be connected in the form called “peer-to-peer”.

As peer-to-peer printing uses the network protocol TCP/IP, the KN-304 Network Board must be set up for

TCP/IP in advance.  For each of the Windows 95/98 computers that perform peer-to-peer printing, it is

needed to set up TCP/IP, install and set up [IP-P2P] included in the CD-ROM provided, and set up the

printer driver.

■

 Basic TCP/IP setup

Select [Network] from the [Control Panel] of a Windows 95/98 computer that uses the Konica 7020 series

printer via the KN-304 Network Board.  Then the [Network] dialog box appears.  Click the [Configuration] tab

and make sure that [TCP/IP] exists in the list of Current Network Components.  If it is not found, add TCP/

IP.  See Windows 95/98 Help or something else for how to add TCP/IP.

When [TCP/IP]exists in the [Current Network Components] list, make sure of the values of IP address, etc.

Select [TCP/IP] and click the [Properties] button.  The [TCP/IP Properties] dialog box appears.  Click the [IP

Address] tab and confirm or define the TCP/IP address and subnet mask assigned to the computer.  Set up

on another panel as necessary.  Click the [OK] button to return to the Network dialog box.

Next, click the [Identification] tab in the [Network] dialog box and confirm the name given to the computer.

Click the [OK] button to finish the setup procedure.

Take care to determine the values of parameters.

Consult the network administrator to determine the values of parameters like the IP address.  If

the IP address is inadequate, failures may occur in various locations in the network.
