NOTE: If you are a Phaser 6110N user, you can only connect your printer to a network locally, for use via a single computer.

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.

Wired Network-connected Printer (Phaser 6110N only)

The Phaser 6110N printer has a built-in network interface. For more information about connecting your printer to a network, see 2.6.

Printing Across a Network

Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected, you need to install the Phaser 6110N series printer software on each computer that prints documents using the printer.

Setting Up a Network-Connected Printer (Phaser 6110N 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 SetIP program.

Supported Operating Systems

NOTE: The operating systems supported by the network card may be different than the operating systems supported by the printer. The following table shows the network environments supported by the printer.
