Windows Firewall

Windows Firewall is a feature of Windows XP Service Pack 2 and other operating
systems that protects your computer by blocking unauthorized access over the
network.

If your print server is installed with an operating system equipped with Windows
Firewall, you need to configure Windows Firewall to unblock communication
between the print server and client computers.

This section explains how to use the [CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] to configure
Windows Firewall to unblock or block communication with client computers.

WARNING

If you want to copy the [CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] to your hard disk to run
it, copy all of the files (CNAC3FW.EXE, CAPTRGFW.DLL, CNAC3FW.INI) from the
[WF_UTIL] folder on the supplied "LBP5200 User Software" CD-ROM to your
hard disk.

Configuring Windows Firewall to unblock communication
with client computers

1

Insert the supplied "LBP5200 User Software" CD-ROM into
the CD-ROM drive.

If CD-ROM Setup appears, click [Exit].

2

Select [My Computer] from the [Start] menu, then right-click
on the CD-ROM icon and select [Open] from the popup menu.

3

Double-click [English], then [WF_UTIL], then [CNAC3FW.EXE].

The [CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] starts.

IMPORTANT

You can also start the utility by selecting [Run] from the [Start] menu, then entering
"D:\English\WF_UTIL\CNAC3FW.EXE" and clicking [OK]. (In this case the
CD-ROM drive is assumed to be assigned to "D:". The actual CD-ROM drive letter
may be different depending on the computer you are using.)
