Sharp Network Device Installation (printers and copiers) Windows 2000, XP, 2003 (includes Windows 98/Me client)
Installing a network printer is a fairly straight-forward process in these Windows versions. If you have ever installed a TCP/IP port for printing, it is the same procedure for most of the Sharp models with the exception of the listener. This is explained in the following setup procedure. Additionally, it is assumed that the Sharp copier/printer/multifunction device is configured for network printing (i.e. Network card is installed, IP address is configured, etc.) This scenario assumes a client /server setup where the printer is installed on the server and shared. Well start with the server first. If you are not using a server, the steps are the same for 2k and XP systems just omit the sharing and permissions section. 1. Log-in as administrator or user with appropriate permissions. 2. Click Start, Settings, Printers and Faxes (or go through Control Panel/Printers and Faxes). 3. Click Add Printer and Next select Local Printer and Uncheck the Automatically detect (remember, were at the server so this is Local) 4. Click Next and select the Create Port radio button and select Standard TCP/IP Port from the drop-down. (see graphic below)
5. Click Next and Next and type in the IP address of the Sharp network device in the first block. You will notice the second block is automatically filled in for you as you type with the letters IP_ in front of the IP address. This is normal and acceptable. (see graphic on next page).
6. Click Next and select the Custom radio button and then click Settings (see graphic).
7. The IP address and printer name boxes will be filled-in already. Click the LPR radio button (This will be set to RAW by default) and type-in lp (that is lp ((lema paul)) not ip. This must be lower-case, without the quotes) in the LPR Settings Queue Name box. Also click the Enable LPR Byte Counting radio button. This will allow for some error correction while printing. (see graphic on next page)
8. Click OK, Next, Finish. Now, select Have Disk from the driver selection menu and browse to the directory of the printer driver. If you downloaded the driver from our site then you should have already unzipped the file to a directory. Choose the appropriate directory and file (OS choice). If you are using an original Sharp CD, choose the English A (or English if theres no English A folder). Choose the appropriate model number, click Next, change the name if you wish or leave as default, click Next and click the Share Name radio button and type a name for the printer (i.e. Sharp_M550) Next, Next (click No to the test page) Next and Finish. If the Microsoft Digital Signature message is displayed, click Continue. The shared printer will be created at this point but, youre not quite through. 9. Browse to your Printers and Faxes folder again and Right Click on the new printer and select Properties. Click the Configuration tab and configure the options for your printer (i.e. Finisher, Paper Drawers, etc.) As you click these options, you will notice the graphic change with each selection. When complete, select Apply and OK. 10. If you need to share this device with Windows 98/Me clients, right click the printer again and select the Sharing tab. Click the Additional Drivers tab and choose the appropriate client OSs. The Wizard will guide you through the process and prompt for a location of the drivers. Make sure to choose the correct driver for the OS you chose in the previous screen. See graphic on next page.

11. Consider allowing full permissions from the Security tab of the printer properties. Users will then be able to select different output trays and paper types from their workstations. We are now ready to install the printer to the client workstation 1. From the client, double click My Network Places (Me, XP, 2000) or Network Neighborhood (98) or use relative path i.e. \\servername\sharename, to access the printer. Double click the printer and the printer and driver will be installed on the client computer. If the server is 2k or 2003, the configuration you performed in the previous steps will also be passed down to the client. If the client is 98 or Me, you will have to go into the properties of the printer on the client and manually configure the options (paper drawers, output trays, etc.). 2. Complete these steps on the remaining clients. This completes the client/server network printer installation for 2K, XP and 2003.
Windows 98 Direct Network Printing
In Windows 98, there is no native way to create a standard TCP/IP printing port. There is software, however, that will accomplish this task for you. Use this method for printing directly to a network printer using Win98 or Me. Download the SC Print 2000 software from our website (www.cbesc.com and click the Downloads link). After successfully downloading and unzipping the file, run Setup.exe and follow the instructions listed in the next section.
