Network connection
If the device has network capability, it can be shared in a network environment by
connecting it directly to the network. This type of connection offers the ability to
manage the device using the embedded Web server from any computer on the
network.
NOTE:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 must be installed on the computer system
to run the installation program.
Choose the installation option for the type of network you have:
•
Client/server network: If your network has a computer acting as a dedicated print
server, install the device software on the server, and then install the device
software on the client computers. For more information see
To install the device on
a network
and
To install the device software on client computers
. This method
does not allow you to share the full functionality of the device. Client computers
can only print from the device.
•
Peer-to-peer network: If you have a peer-to-peer network (a network without a
dedicated print server), install the software on the computers that will be using the
device. For more information, see
To install the device on a network
.
In addition, you can connect to a network printer on both types of networks using the
Add Printer wizard in Windows. For more information, see
To install the printer driver
using Add Printer
.
