expansion kit.)
X "PRINTER UTILITIES" CD-ROM that accompanies the Internet fax
expansion kit (for Windows)
This CD-ROM is used to update the PC-Fax driver on the "Software CD-ROM" that accompanies the machine or
printer expansion kit so that it can be used to send Internet faxes (PC-I-Fax function).
If you wish to use the PC-I-Fax function, first install the PC-Fax driver from the "Software CD-ROM" that
accompanies the machine or printer expansion kit and then run the installer on this CD-ROM. If the PC-Fax driver is
already installed, run only the installer. (There is no need to reinstall the PC-Fax driver.)
X "Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Utilities" CD-ROM (for Windows)
This contains software that helps you get the most out of the images that you scan on the machine. The software
includes "Sharpdesk", a desktop document management application that enables integrated management of
scanned images and files created using a variety of applications. To use the "Scan to Desktop" scanner function, the
"Network Scanner Tool" must be installed from the CD-ROM.
For the system requirements of the software, see the manual (PDF format) in the "Manual" folder or the Readme file
on the CD-ROM. For the procedures for installing the software, see the "Information Guide".

CONNECTING THE MACHINE
CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded LAN
cable.
After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address and other network settings before
installing the software. (The factory default setting for the IP address is to receive the IP address automatically when the
machine is used in a DHCP environment.)
Network settings can be configured using "Network Settings" in the system settings (administrator) on the machine.
• If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing will not
be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS server or by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine.
• This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment and in a Macintosh network
environment.
• When using this machine on an IPv6 network, enable IPv6 setting in the "Network Settings" in the system settings
(administrator).
X Checking the IP address of the machine
You can check the IP address of the machine by printing out the "NIC Page" in the system settings. Follow these steps
to print out the "NIC Page".
Press the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key, touch the [List Print (User)] key, select "NIC Page" from "Printer Test Page" and
then touch the [Print] key.
CONNECTING THE MACHINE WITH A USB CABLE
(Windows)
The machine can be connected to a computer using a USB cable if the computer is a Windows computer. (The USB
interface on the machine cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.)
The machine and computer should be connected while the printer driver is being installed. If a USB cable is connected
before the printer driver is installed, the printer driver will not be installed correctly. For the procedure for connecting a

X Printing using the IPP function and the SSL function
The IPP function can be used to print to the machine over a network using HTTP protocol.
When the machine is in a remote location, this function can be used in place of the fax function to print a higher quality
image than a fax. The IPP function can also be used in combination with the SSL (encrypted communication) function to
encrypt the print data. This enables secure printing with no concern that the data will be leaked to others.
To use the SSL function, configure the "SSL Settings" in the system settings (administrator) of the machine. To configure the
settings, see "7. SYSTEM SETTINGS" in the Operation Guide.
