IEEE 1284 port (optional)
Port for connecting an IEEE 1284 interface cable
USB 2.0 [Type B] port
Port for connecting a USB2.0 [Type B] interface cable
This interface allows the machine to print over USB connection.
Gigabit Ethernet port
Port for using a 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 10BASE-T cable
Use this interface to connect the machine to a network.
If you use an Ethernet interface cable that supports 1000BASE-T, set [Ethernet Speed] to [Auto Select: Enable 1Gbps] in [Interface Settings] in [System Settings].
Wireless LAN port (optional)
Port for using a wireless LAN
Extended USB Port (optional)
Port for connecting the supplied USB cable
The other end of the supplied USB cable must be connected to the USB 2.0 [Type B] port.
Do not connect to devices other than the machine.

The slot can contain one module only: You can install one IEEE 1284 interface board, one Wireless LAN interface unit, or one USB Device Server Option at a time in this slot.
The Gigabit Ethernet port and Wireless LAN interface unit cannot be used simultaneously. If the optional Wireless LAN interface unit is installed, you need to set [LAN Type] to [Wireless LAN] in [Interface Settings] in [System Settings].
The Bluetooth interface unit and the Wireless LAN interface unit cannot be used simultaneously.
