To send data from the machine to a computer on your network, you need to specify
the settings of the computer for receiving data. You can send data over a NetBIOS
network to a Windows and Samba (UNIX/Linux) shared folder. This section
describes how to configure a shared folder.
IMPORTANT

Samba 2.2.8a or later is supported.

You can only send data from the machine if the optional equipment is installed. For the
equipment needed, see "Optional Equipment and System Environment Requirements,"
on p. 1-2.

This section describes only the procedures for setting up a computer receiving data sent
from the machine. To send data from the machine to a server on the network, you must

A computer that receives data sent from the machine must have TCP/IP client
software installed and must be enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the
