Before Connecting to a Network
Using a Network with Various Types of Computers
If there are various types of computers on the network, the network operations you are required to
perform depend on the type of computers being used.
For example, if you are using Windows XP and Macintosh computers, you will need to specify the
settings described in both "Sample Windows Network" and "Sample Macintosh Network".
To use the e-mail/I-fax function, the TCP/IP protocol is required.
To use the data sending function, either the TCP/IP, NetWare, or NetBIOS protocol is required.
After configuring the settings in accordance with Chapter 4, "Settings Common to the Network
Protocols," see the following, depending on the protocol:
Chapter 5, "Using a TCP/IP Network"
Chapter 6, "Using a NetWare Network (Windows)"
Chapter 7, "Using a NetBIOS Network"
Chapter 8, "Using an AppleTalk Network (Macintosh)"
Optional equipment is required to use the e-mail/I-fax functions, or data sending functions for the machine if you
are using the imageRUNNER 3245/3235/3230/3225. For the equipment needed, see “Optional Equipment and
System Requirements for Connecting to a Network,” on p. 3-2.
