Connecting with Network Cable

Do not connect the Ethernet port of the machine to a network that may supply excess voltage, such as a telephone line. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

Follow the procedure below to connect the machine to a computer through a network. Prepare the hub and other network devices before connecting the 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cable to the machine's Ethernet port.

Use shielded Ethernet cable. Unshielded cables create electromagnetic interference that could cause malfunctions.
The Ethernet cable is not supplied with this machine. Select your cable according to the network environment.

Remove the cable cover.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.

Connect the other end of the cable to the network (e.g., a network hub).

Attach the cable cover.
