Using the Card Slot over a Network Note • This screen is not available depending on the printer you are using. Mounting the Card Slot as the Network Drive Restrictions on Card Slot Use over a NetworkMounting the Card Slot as the Network DriveThe card slot must be mounted to use it over a network.To mount the card slot as the network drive, follow the procedure below. 1. Insert a memory card into the card slot of the machine. 2. Start up IJ Network Tool. 3. Select the machine in Printers:. 4. Select Maintenance... on the Settings menu. 5. Click Setup . 6. Specify the drive letter, then click OK. 245
7.Make sure that the card slot is mounted. When the card slot is mounted, the following icon appears on Computer (or My Computer ). Restrictions on Card Slot Use over a Network • The card slot can be shared by multiple computers, if the machine is connected to a network. Multiple computers can read files from a memory card in the card slot at the same time. However, while one computer is writing a file into a memory card, other computers cannot access the same file. • If your computer joins a domain, the card slot may not be mounted as the network drive. • If you use the memory card stored the large size files or many files, a large amount of card access may be generated. In this case, the operation in the memory card may be impossible or slow. Operate after the Access lamp of the machine is lit. • When you access the network drive for the card slot over the network, file names consisting of eight or less lowercase letters (not including its extension) may be shown in uppercase. For example, a file name such as "abcdefg.doc" will be "ABCDEFG.DOC", while a name such as "AbcdeFG.doc" will appear the same. The file is not actually renamed, but merely appears to be changed. • When you enable a memory card in the card slot of the machine to be writable only from a USB- connected computer, you cannot access the network drive of the card slot. On the other hand, when you enable it to be writable only from a LAN-connected computer, the card slot is not detected via USB. Make sure that the card slot setting is selected properly according to your connection method. To read files from a memory card via USB and over a network, disable the function to write files to a memory card from a computer. You cannot write files to a memory card in either way with this setting. • When you enable a memory card in the card slot of the machine to be writable only from a LAN- connected computer, you can write files to a memory card from a computer connected to a network. Note that it may increase the risk that the data on the memory card is infected by computer viruses or accessed illegally. It is recommended to use the access control function of the machine or connect to the Internet via a router. For information on using a router, contact your Internet service provider or a network device manufacturer. • If you write files to a memory card over a network when IJ Network Scanner Selector EX is not running, the Date Modified of the files may not be proper. Make sure to start up IJ Network Scanner Selector EX before you write files to a memory card over the network. For details, refer to "IJ Network Scanner Selector EX Menu and Setting Screen" from the HOME of your product's Online Manual. 246
When the Printer Driver Is Not Associated with a PortIf No Driver is displayed for the printer's name on the Canon IJ Network Tool screen, the printer driver is not associated with a created port. To associate a port with a printer driver, follow the procedure below.1. Start up IJ Network Tool. 2. Select the printer displayed as No Driver on Name . 3. Select Associate Port... on the Settings menu. The Associate Port screen is displayed. 4. Select a printer to associate with a port. The list of the printers that the printer driver is installed is displayed at Printer: on the Associate Port screen. Select a printer to associate with a created port. 5. Click OK. 247
About Technical TermsIn this section, technical terms used in the manual are explained. A B C D F I K L M O P R S T U W A • Access Point A wireless transceiver or base station that receives information from wireless clients/the machine and rebroadcasts it. Required in an infrastructure network. • Access point mode The machine is used as an access point to connect external wireless communication devices (e.g. computers, smartphones, or tablets) in an environment where no access point or wireless LAN router is available. You can connect up to 5 devices to the machine using the access point mode. • Ad-hoc Client computer and machine setting where wireless communication occurs on a peer-to-peer basis, i.e., all clients in with the same SSID/network name communicate directly with each other. No access point is required. This machine does not support ad-hoc communication. • Admin Password Administrator password in IJ Network Tool to restrict access to network users. It must be entered to access the printer and change printer settings. • AES An encryption method. It is optional for WPA/WPA2. Strong cryptographic algorithm adopted within U.S. government organizations for information processing. 248
•Authentication Method The method that an access point uses to authenticate a printer through a wireless LAN. The methods are agreeable each other. When using WEP as an encryption method, the authentication method is able to fix to Open System or Shared Key . For WPA/WPA2, authentication method is PSK.◦ Auto The printer automatically changes its authentication method to match the access point. ◦ Open System In this authentication method, the communication partner is authenticated without using WEP key even if Use WEP is selected. ◦ Shared Key In this authentication method, the communication partner is authenticated using the WEP key that was set for encryption. B • Bonjour A service built into Mac OS X operating system to detect the connectable devices on a network automatically. C • Channel Frequency channel for wireless communication. In the infrastructure mode, the channel is automatically adjusted to match that set to the access point. This machine supports channels 1 to 13. (Channels 12 and 13 are not supported depending on the country or region of purchase.) Note that the number of channels that can be used for your wireless LAN varies depending on the region or country. D • Default Gateway A relay device to connect to another network such as a router or a computer. • DHCP server functionality The router or the access point assigns an IP address automatically whenever the printer or the personal computer on a network starts up. • DNS server A server that converts device names into IP addresses. When specifying IP addresses manually, specify the addresses of both a primary and a secondary server. 249
F• Firewall It is a system that prevents an unlawful computer access in the network. To prevent, you can use the firewall function of a broadband router, the security software installed in the computer, or operation system for computer. I • IEEE 802.11b International standard for wireless LAN using the 2.4 GHz frequency range with a throughput of up to 11 Mbps. • IEEE 802.11g International standard for wireless LAN using the 2.4 GHz frequency range with a throughput of up to 54 Mbps. Compatible with 802.11b. • IEEE 802.11n International standard for wireless LAN using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges. Even when using two or more antennas simultaneously or obtaining a bigger transfer rate than before by using multiple communication channels at the same time, the transmission speed may be influenced by the connected apparatus. At the maximum transfer rate of 600 Mbps, it is possible to communicate with multiple computer terminals within a dozen or so metre radius. Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g. • Infrastructure Client computer and machine setup where all wireless communications pass through an access point. • IP Address A unique number with four parts separated by dots. Every network device that is connected to the Internet has an IP address. Example: 192.168.0.1 An IP address is usually assigned by an access point or a DHCP server of the router automatically. • IPv4/IPv6 They are internetwork-layer protocol used on the internet. IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses and IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses. K • Key Format Select either ASCII or Hex as the WEP key format. The character that can be used for the WEP key differs depending on the selected key formats. ◦ ASCII Specify with a 5 or 13-character string that can include alphanumeric and underscore "_" characters. It is case-sensitive. 250
