Connecting to the Interface

This section explains how to identify the machine's interface and connect the machine according to the network environment.

Illustration of connecting to the Interface

USB Host Interface
Port for connecting a USB interface cable or USB interface device
Use this interface to connect the machine to a card authentication device, or external keyboard.
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].
Slot A
Install an optional interface board in this slot.
The slot can accommodate one of the following interface boards:
- IEEE1284 interface board: Required if you want to connect an IEEE 1284 cable to this machine for printing.
- Wireless LAN interface unit: Required if you want to connect this machine to a wireless LAN. When installed in Slot A, this unit allows you to connect the machine to an IEEE 802.11 a or IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless LAN.
Slot B
Install the optional Copy Connector.
- Copy Connector (optional): Required if you want to connect this machine to a sub-machine in order to use the connect copy function.

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].
