9.2 On Using SMB 47
9.2 On Using SMB
This section explains the precautions and limitations of using this printer with SMB.
Setting Up
Setting Up the Printer
• Be very careful in setting up IP addresses which are controlled as an entire system.
Consult your network administrator before defining any IP address.
• Depending on the network environment used, it may be necessary to set up the subnet
mask and gateway. Consult your network administrator to set up the necessary items.
• If setting the port to [Enable] leads to insufficient memory, a message to that effect will be
displayed on the control panel and the port status may be set to [Disable] automatically.
When this happens, set the ports which are not in use to [Disable], change the memory
size, or install more memories.
• Specify the size for the receive buffer memory (SMB spool) as required by the
environment. If the size of the receive buffer memory (SMB spool) is smaller than the file
data to be received, the data may not be received.
Setting Up the Computer
• Be very careful in setting up IP addresses which are controlled as an entire system.
Consult your network administrator before defining any IP address.
• Before setting any network (such as the IP address) to a host being used under Network
Information Service (NIS), consult the NIS administrator.
Switching the Power On/Off
Take note of the following when switching off the printer:
When SMB Spool Is Set to [Memory] (Spool Mode)
All the print data spooled to the printer memory, including print data which is being output,
will be deleted. When the printer is switched on again, the print data will not be found.
However, if the printer is switched off immediately after the print data has been sent, the
data may be stored on the computer. In this case, when it is switched on again, the stored
print data will be printed first even if new print data has been specified.
When SMB Spool Is Set to [Hard Disk] (Spool Mode)
All the spooled print data, including print data which is being printed, will be saved. When
the power is switched on again, the stored print data will be printed first even if new print
data has been specified.
