Connecting to the Ethernet Interface

This section describes how to connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface.

Important

  • If the main power switch is on, turn it off.

  • Use the following Ethernet cables.

    • Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair Cable (STP) and Category type 5 or more

1Attach the supplied ferrite core at the machine end of the Ethernet interface cable.

  1. Indicators

    When 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T is operating, the green LED is lit and the orange LED flashes. If the machine is not connected to the network, both LEDs are turned off.

Note

  • Use an Ethernet interface cable that supports "Ethernet Speed". If you select [Auto Select] for "Ethernet Speed", use an Ethernet interface cable that supports 100BASE-TX.

  • For details about how to turn on the main power switch, see "Turning On the Power", About This Machine.

  • For details about installing the printer driver, see "Preparing the Machine", Printer Reference.
