About Sharing the Printer on a
Network
If you work in a networked environment, you can connect your
printer to th e n e twork.
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 98SE/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000/2003 network printer
connection.
F or details about sharing the printer locally, see the
Software
section
.
Wired Network-connected Printer
The CLP-600N printer has a built-in network interface. For more
information about connecting your printer to a network, see

Wireless Network-connected Printer
To use a CLP-600N printer in a wireless network environment,
you need to install an optional wired/wireless network interface
card in your printer.

your printer. W e strongly recommend that the card be installed
by a trained service professional.
