SMB and WINS Settings |
To use the machine on a NetBIOS network, specify the SMB settings. To resolve a name with WINS, specify the WINS settings using the following procedure. To specify the SMB settings, you need to use the optional UFR II Printer Kit, the optional UFR II/PCL Printer Kit, the optional PCL Printer Kit, the optional PS Printer Kit, the optional Super G3 FAX Board, or the optional Color Universal Send Kit. WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is a service for associating a NetBIOS name (which is a computer name or printer name on a NetBIOS network) with an IP address. To use WINS, specify the IP address settings for the WINS server. |
[On] for <Use SMB Server>: You can use the SMB server. In [Server], enter the name of a computer that the machine connects to, using the keyboard on the touch panel display. Be sure to enter a unique name that does not exist as a name for another computer or printer on the same network. In [Workgroup], enter the name of the workgroup the machine belongs to, using the keyboard on the touch panel display. If there is no workgroup on your environment, create a workgroup in the Windows environment, and then enter the workgroup name. In [Comment], enter a comment about the printer, if necessary. If you display the printer information, the comment you specified here appears. If you want the machine to notify the LAN Manager of its existence on the network, press [On] for <LM Announce>. If the LAN Manager does not have to refer to the machine, you can control the traffic over your network by selecting [Off]. To set up an SMB printer, press [SMB Printer Settings] → [On] for <Use SMB> → enter the printer name of the machine in [Printer].

[On] for <WINS Resolution>: You can resolve the name with WINS. Enter the IPv4 address of a WINS server in [WINS Server Address]. Enter the [Scope ID] settings if a scope ID is set on the computer in the network environment you are using. The scope ID is an identifier for determining the range available to a printer or computer. The scope ID set here is used regardless of the setting for <WINS Resolution>.
