NetSpot Device Installer NetSpot Device Installer is utility software for specifying the initial settings of Canon devices connected to a network. Available on the CD-ROM, NetSpot Device Installer can be accessed directly without installation, enabling network users to quickly and easily specify the initial settings of network devices. For the system requirements for NetSpot Device Installer and instructions on how to install the software, see the Readme file for NetSpot Device Installer.
NetSpot Console NetSpot Console is utility software capable of managing devices connected to a network. This software enables network administrators to set or view various types of information about network devices using a web browser, such as list or map display of devices, detailed protocol settings, display and notification of device status, and job manipulations.

Troubleshooting This section describes how to resolve basic network printing problems. Detailed information concerning the machine cannot be set or browsed using a web browser (Remote UI). 6 Cause The IP addresses of computers on which the web browser (Remote UI) is used are not allowed in the IP Address Range Settings menu in the Remote UI.
• If you are using LPD with Windows 95/98/Me, confirm that the spooling settings are made correctly. (See steps 3 to 5 in "Windows 95/98/Me," on p. 222.) Cause 4 The name of the file being printed is too long. Remedy Normally LPR (or the Microsoft TCP/IP Printer, if you are using Windows NT/ 2000/XP) sends jobs either under the name of the application software used for printing, or the file name. However, a job name longer than 255 characters cannot be sent to the printer.
Remedy Check the following: • Confirm that the proper print driver is installed. If you are printing from Windows 95/98/Me, each computer must have a printer driver installed. • For instructions on installing printer drivers, see Chapter 1, "Before You Start Using This Machine," in the PCL Driver Guide. • Confirm that the correct printer is set as the output destination for the computer that is printing.
Cause 4 The IP address of the computer from which data are to be sent to the machine is not permitted in the IP Address Range Settings menu in the Remote UI. Remedy Check the IP address range settings in the Remote UI. (See Chapter 2, "Remote UI Functions," in the Remote UI Guide.
How to Uninstall Software To uninstall the LPR Port utility or NetBIOS/NetBEUI Port Monitor utility in Windows 95/98/Me, follow the procedure below. NOTE To uninstall NetSpot Console or NetSpot Device Installer, see the NetSpot Console or NetSpot Device Installer Readme file for details. LPR Port Utility Deletion 1 Set [Print Destination Port] of the printer driver to a port other than the Canon LPR Port.
NetBIOS/NetBEUI Port Monitor Utility Deletion 1 2 3 On the [Start] menu, point to [Settings] ➞ click [Control Panel]. Double-click the [Application Add/Delete] icon. Select the software you want to delete from the software list ➞ click [Add/Delete]. A confirmation message is displayed. Click [Yes]. The software is uninstalled (deleted).
Network Setting Items Network Setting Items Using the Control Panel You can change the settings of the machine with the control panel of the machine. The setting items you can change are shown below. ■ System Settings Item Setting Description Default Setting IP Address Auto FIXED/AUTO (DHCP/BOOTP/RARP, ON/ OFF) 6 IP Address IP address 192.168.0.215 Appendix Network Settings Subnet Mask IP address 0.0.0.0 Default Gateway IP address 0.0.0.0 DNS Server Add.

Glossary Banding Specifies the method for the Banding operation performed in the printer driver. As Banding defines the output image data of a page by processing it in rectangular bitmap sections called Bands, you can print a document faster. If [On] is selected, Banding is constantly performed; but if [Auto] is selected, Banding is performed only when necessary. BOOTP BOOTstrap Protocol.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol that automatically specifies the network settings of a client on a TCP/IP network. Many of the settings required to set up TCP/IP, which is the standard protocol of the Internet, can be made automatically. DNS Domain Name System. The system that associates the IP address assigned to a computer with the domain name. DNS server Domain Name System server.
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The client-server TCP/IP protocol used on the World Wide Web for the transfer of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) documents across the Internet. Internet Protocol (IP) The underlying set of networking rules that describes how data is transmitted across the Internet. Internet Protocol allows data from one computer to be split into packets to be sent to another computer with a specific IP address. IP address Internet Protocol address.
NetBEUI NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface. NetBEUI is a network protocol originally designed by IBM and later extended by Microsoft and Novell. In a small network, NetBEUI is more efficient than other protocols such as TCP/IP. It is supported natively by IBM operating systems and Microsoft Windows to provide services such as file sharing and printing. NetBIOS Network Basic Input Output System. A program that allows applications on different computers to communicate within a local area network (LAN).
Raster Raster graphics describes an image as a pattern of dots, compared to vector graphics which represents an image as a geometrical formula. Each row of color dots in the mosaic of color dots constitutes one raster graphic. In a printer, a raster graphic is used as the master image from which a page is printed, because the image can be transferred to paper by printing one raster at a time. Raw This is a print application used with Windows 2000/XP. It can print at higher speeds than LPD.
TCP/IP Acronym for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The protocol used to connect to the Internet and to wide-area networks. Token Ring A local area network system developed by IBM, in which conflict during message transmission is avoided by granting "tokens" that allow computers to send messages. The system can transmit data at 4 or 16 Mbps. UAA Universally Administered Address. See also LAA. URL Uniform Resource Locator.
