Network Connection

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

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.

Use shielded Ethernet cable. Unshielded cables create electromagnetic interference that could cause malfunctions.
The Ethernet cable is not supplied with this printer. 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 printer's network, such as a hub.

Attach the cable cover.
