Setting the Ethernet Speed

You can set the speed that the printer will use for Ethernet communications. In most cases, this should be left on the default setting, [Auto Select]. This setting allows two interfaces to automatically determine the optimum speed when they are connected.

Important

  • Connection cannot be established if the selected Ethernet speed does not match your network's transmission speed.
