About Sharing the Printer on a

Network

If you work in a networked environment, you can connect your printer to the network.

Locally-Shared Printer

You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the “host computer” on the network. The printer can then be shared by other users on the network through a Windows 98/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000/2003 network printer connection.

For details about sharing the printer locally, see the Software Section.

Setting Up a Network-Connected Printer(CLP-300N only)

You have to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your network printer. Setting protocols can be accomplished by using the supplied network program. Please refer to SetIP.
