About Installing Components on Your Computer

Before configuring the network interface and printing from the computer, you need to install the necessary components (such as TCP/IP, NetBEUI, etc.) and assign an IP address and subnet mask for your computer, depending on the printing method you want to use. See the section in this chapter appropriate for your operating system.

Windows XP

For Windows XP, use the following procedure to install the necessary components.


Note:
  • The Windows XP CD-ROM may be required during the installation.

  • When using TCP/IP or IPP for printing, you need to set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway of the computer.

Click Start, highlight Control Panel, and then click Network and Internet Connections. Select Network Connections.

Under LAN or High-Speed Internet, click the Local Area Connection icon.

Under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection.
