Set the Machine for Network Usage
Connect the Machine to a Network
This machine has a USB connector and LAN connector. If the machine is connected to a network 
using a LAN cable, you can use the machine as a network printer, or use functions such as the I-fax 
function, which lets you send and receive faxes over the Internet.

NOTE
– The machine does not come with a LAN cable.
– You can use the iR1024A/iR1024F/iR1020 in a network environment if the optional network board is installed.
Specify the IP Address Settings
An IP address must be specified in order to enable communication between the machine and a 
computer.

NOTE
– Before performing the following procedure, make sure that the machine is turned on and connected to a network.
– This machine is set by default to automatically draw an IP address using DHCP. If your network server or router is  configured to provide a DHCP address, all you need to do is connect a network cable and turn on the machine. The 
machine will draw an IP address automatically.
– This machine also supports automatic IP addresses using BOOTP and RARP protocols. If you use these protocols,  select  at step 6 of the following procedures, then specify the  or  settings.

the back of the machine. Connect the other end of the cable to a network router or a hub.
NOTE
If you use the machine as a local printer, connect the machine directly to a computer using a USB cable.

Installing/Uninstalling Software
Installation Procedure
Perform the following procedure to install the printer, fax, and scanner drivers. If you install these 
drivers, you can print and send faxes from your computer, and scan documents into your computer. 
Printer drivers are divided into two types: PCL and UFRII LT. 
●PCL: This is the Hewlett-Packard’s PCL printer  driver, which includes the PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 
drivers. The PCL5c printer driver is for color printers, while the PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers are 
for black-and-white printers. PCL6 is an advanced version of PCL5e and offers superior printing 
quality and speed. This machine suppo rts the PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers.
● UFRII LT: This is the Canon UFRII LT printer driver. Using this driver, the various data processing 
tasks conventionally executed within the printe r are appropriately divided between the host PC and 
the printer to greatly reduce the overall printing time.  The workload can be delegated to match the 
output data, thus realizing a  significant increase in speed through optimization.
