Canon PIXMA MP970 User manual

Network Setup Guide

This manual contains the setup information required to use the machine over wired LAN.

If you use the machine with USB connection, refer to your setup sheet.

Introduction

To use the machine connected to a computer, you need to install the software called “MP Drivers” in

the computer.

The following two connection types are described in this manual.

Setting up for use over LAN

When the machine has not been connected to the

network, perform this setup to use the machine over LAN.

This setup procedure requires settings to be performed on

the machine and the computer.

Important

zA hub and LAN cable are required to connect this machine to a LAN. These must be purchased

separately.

zIf the installation and adjustment of the machine have not been finished, refer to your setup sheet to set

up the machine properly.

Note

zThe configuration and the type of the device vary depending on your network environment. For details,

refer to your device’s instruction manual or contact its manufacturer.

zIn an office setup, consult your network administrator.

Note

zTo set up the machine that is not yet connected to a LAN, connect the machine and the computer with a

USB cable.

zEven if the machine has been set up to be used with the USB connection, follow the setup procedure

described in this manual to connect the machine to a LAN for the first time.

Setting up an additional LAN-connected computer

When the machine has already been set up to connect to

the network using a computer, perform this setup to use

the machine from an additional computer over LAN. This

setup procedure only requires settings to be performed

on the additional computer.
