The other end of the USB cable must be connected to the Extended USB Port of the USB Device Server (optional).
Do not connect to devices other than the machine.
Ethernet port
Port for using a 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 10BASE-T cable
Use this interface to connect the machine to a network.
IEEE 1284 port (optional)
Port for connecting an IEEE 1284 interface cable
G3 interface unit connector

External telephone connector
For details about this function, see Connecting the Machine to a Telephone Line and Telephone.
Wireless LAN port (optional)
Port for using a wireless LAN
Extended USB Port of the USB Device Server (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.

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. Communication with the machine will fail if cables are connected to both ports 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].
