[CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] is a utility for configuring Windows 
Firewall to unblock or block this communication with the client 
computers.
The [CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] is located either in the 
[WF_UTIL] folder of the folder that is created when you uncompress 
the downloaded file, or in the [English] - [WF_UTIL] folder in the 
supplied CD-ROM.
Refer to "note_ex.pdf" for more details on the [CAPT Windows Firewall 
Utility].

==================================================================

13. About the Client-Side Settings for Using the Printer Sharing Function

If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or another operating 
system equipped with Windows Firewall on the client side, configure 
the following settings. If you do not setup the following settings on 
the client side, the printer status may not display properly in the 
Printer Status Window and you may not be able to access some of the 
printer functions.

    Windows Vista) dialog box.

    (Windows Vista)

you print.
In this case, restart the computer or run the Printer Status Window 
manually.

==================================================================

15. Characters for the Printer Name (Windows Vista)

will become unrecognizable by the operating system because of an 
invalid printer name thus disabling printing, operation and setup.

==================================================================

the one used to install the printer driver, you cannot access the

and then select [Run as administrator].

==================================================================

smaller than 1 pt but the actual thickness in the printout may be 
equivalent to that of a 1 pt line.

==================================================================

18. Specifying the IP Address of the Printer (Windows Vista)

If you specify the IP address that is being used by another device 
for the printer, the printer may not function properly.
In this case, turn off the device that is using the same IP address 
or remove the device from the network, and then specify an unused IP 
address for the printer using any of the following methods.
- Settings using NetSpot Device Installer
- Settings using the ARP/PING command
  (To execute the ARP/PING command, you need to log on to Windows as 
  a member of Administrators.)
