When you want to print and manage all print jobs via a print server without sending them directly from a client computer to this equipment, set up the Windows print server environment. The administrator sets up a shared printer in a print server by following the setting procedure for LPR printing in Windows NT 4.0 or Raw TCP printing/LPR printing in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista. This enables users to specify a shared printer set to the print server and perform printing from a client computer.
Setup procedure
1 Set up this equipment for Raw TCP or LPR printing. Please see the setup flow for Raw TCP or LPR printing.
P.14 “Setup flow for Raw TCP or LPR printing (Windows)”
