Installing the Gigabit Ethernet Board

Important

  • The printer's Ethernet and USB ports are not available when the Gigabit Ethernet board is attached to the printer. Use the Ethernet and USB ports on the Gigabit Ethernet board.

  • Before you begin any installation, always ground yourself by touching something metal to discharge any static electricity. Static electricity can damage the Gigabit Ethernet board.

  • Do not subject the Gigabit Ethernet board to physical shocks.

Check the Gigabit Ethernet board is connected firmly to the controller board.

Note

  • Use a coin or similar object if the screws do not turn easily.

  • After finishing installation, check the Gigabit Ethernet board is installed properly: print the configuration page from the [List/Test Print] menu. If it is installed properly, you will see "Gigabit Ethernet" for "Device Connection" on the configuration page.

  • If the Gigabit Ethernet board is not installed properly, reinstall it following this procedure. If you cannot install it properly even after attempting reinstallation, contact your sales or service representative.

  • You need to make settings with the control panel before using the Gigabit Ethernet board. For details, see "Ethernet Configuration".
