Ethernet Cable Connection

Prepare a hub and other network devices, and connect the Ethernet cable to the printer.

If you are connecting the printer using the printer's standard Ethernet port, use a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cable.

If you are connecting the printer using the optional Gigabit Ethernet board, you can use a 1000BASE-T cable, instead of a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cable.

CAUTION

Important

Connecting to the standard Ethernet port

  1. Attach the ferrite core supplied with this printer at the printer end of the Ethernet cable.

Connecting to the Ethernet port of the Gigabit Ethernet board

  1. Attach the two ferrite cores to the Ethernet cable.

    Attach the core supplied with the printer at the printer end of the Ethernet cable. Attach the core supplied with the Gigabit Ethernet board about 10 cm (4 inches) from the connector (image), making a loop as shown.
