Using the Machine on Your Network

This section provides instructions for using the FAX-L380 on your network.

By setting your machine as a shared printer on your network, the network users can share the machine for printing. The print server and clients do not need to use the same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 98/Me client to a Windows 2000/XP print server, or vice versa.

You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not running when the client was started.

If the server is running on Windows 2000/XP, you can print even if no one is logged into the server.

Setting the Machine as a Shared Printer

If you plan to share your Canon FAX-L380 on a network, install the print server locally, then make the following settings. For more information, see your print server system documentation.
