Using Your Printer on a Network7.17 Using Your Printer on aNetworkIf you work in a networked environment, the printer can beshared by other users on the network.This chapter includes:• About Sharing the Printer on a Network• Setting Up a Network-Connected Printer (Phaser6110N only)N OTE: If you are a Phaser 6110N user, you can only connectyour printer to a network locally, for use via a single computer.About Sharing the Printer on aNetworkIf you work in a networked environment, you can connect yourprinter to the network.Locally-Shared PrinterYou can connect the printer directly to a selected computer,which is called the “host computer” on the network. The printercan then be shared by other users on the network through aWindows 98/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000/2003 network printerconnection.For details about sharing the printer locally, see the SoftwareSection.Wired Network-connected Printer (Phaser6110N only)The Phaser 6110N printer has a built-in network interface. Formore information about connecting your printer to a network, see2.6.Printing Across a NetworkWhether the printer is locally connected or network-connected,you need to install the Phaser 6110N series printer software oneach computer that prints documents using the printer.Setting Up a Network-ConnectedPrinter (Phaser 6110N only)You have to set up the network protocols on the printer to useit as your network printer. Setting protocols can beaccomplished by using the SetIP program.Supported Operating SystemsN OTE: The operating systems supported by the network cardmay be different than the operating systems supported by theprinter.
