An address that is only valid within the same link. A link local address is automatically set using a specific prefix (fe80::) and an interface identifier generated from the MAC address of the machine. When the machine is using the functions of IPv6, one link local address is always registered.
A fixed address.
A stateless address is automatically set using the machine's MAC address and the prefix (information indicating the network the machine belongs to) included in the RA (Router Advertisement) notified by the router when the machine is started.
A stateful address can be obtained from a DHCP server using DHCPv6. |

Machine Connection Method (LPD/Raw) |
All computers that use the machine must have TCP/IP client software installed and must be enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the manuals provided with the operating system.
To print from a computer, you must install a printer driver and specify a setting for the machine destination. The machine destination setting differs depending on the print application used for printing. Use the following information as a guide to determine the print application you are using, and then perform the necessary operations.

Print Server Settings |
If Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/Server 2003/Server 2008 is on your network, the following procedure enables you to set up a print server for more efficient management of network printers. Once a print server is set up, print jobs can be managed by the print server. Also, by setting up an alternate driver for the print server, printer drivers can be installed in each computer via the network. |
For Windows Vista/Server 2008, click [Start] on the Windows task bar → [Control Panel] → [Hardware and Sound] → [Printers] For Windows 2000, click [Start] on the Windows task bar → [Settings] → [Printers]. For Windows XP Professional/Server 2003, click [start] on the Windows task bar → [Printers and Faxes]. For Windows XP Home Edition, click [start] on the Windows task bar → [Control Panel] → [Printers and Other Hardware] → [Printers and Faxes]. For Windows 7/Server 2008 R2, click [Start] on the Windows task bar → [Devices and Printers]. |
|
For other operating systems, go to the next step.
|
|
When the alternate driver is installed, additional windows will open for entering the location of the file containing the printer driver. Follow the instructions in these windows.
