Setting Up the Network Interface

Connecting the Network Interface to the Network

Follow the instructions below to connect the network interface to the network.
1. Make sure that your printer is turned off.
2. Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the network interface,
and the other end to the network.
Caution:
c
❏ You must use a Category 6 shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the network
interface to prevent malfunction.
❏ Do not connect or disconnect the network cable when the printer is on.
Note:
You can use both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX. When you print a lot of data, we recommend
you use a high-speed 100Base-TX network with light network traffic.
3. Turn on your printer.
Caution:
c
After turning off the printer, wait until the network interface status lights go off before
turning it back on; otherwise the network interface may not work correctly.
Note for Mac OS X:
Since the printer supports Bonjour and is enabled by default, you can use the printer on a
network just by connecting it to the network. If you want to disable the Bonjour setting, use
the printer's control panel. See the next section for details.
Now, you can configure the network interface for use on a TCP/IP network and install
the printer driver.
