Setting Up the Printer
Connecting to a Network
Make sure you have the correct cable for connecting the printer. To connect 
to a network switch or hub, you need a standard RJ-45 “straight-through” 
network cable. To connect directly to your computer’s network interface, 
you need an RJ-45 crossover cable.
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Connect one end of the appropriate cable to the printer’s Ethernet port. 
Then connect the other end to your network switch or hub or your 
computer’s Ethernet port.
3. Turn on the printer.
Once the printer is connected to your network, you need to configure it. See 
“Configuring the Network Interface” on page 28 for instructions.
Configuring the Network Interface
1. Make sure that the printer is turned on and the LCD screen displays 
READY
.
2. Press the 
Menu
 r button on the printer’s control panel to enter the 
printer’s menu system.
3. Press d to highlight 
NETWORK SETUP
, then press r.
4. Press r, then d to highlight 
SHOW.
Note: You must use a 
Category 5 shielded 
twisted-pair cable to 
connect the network 
interface to prevent 
malfunction. You can use 
both 10Base-T and 
100Base-TX networks. 
When you print a lot of 
data, we recommend using 
the highest speed available 
for your product with light 
network traffic.
