This topic includes connecting the printer to the network via Ethernet, USB or Parallel, then 
configuring the printer’s TCP/IP or AppleTalk/EtherTalk address for the particular network 
and operating system.

Network connection and configuration steps are performed in the following order.

Turn the printer and the computer On, if you are connecting via Ethernet or USB. If you 
are using a Parallel connection, connect the cable to the printer and the computer while 
they are both Off, then turn them On.

Connect the printer to the network using the recommended hardware and cables.

Configure the printer’s network address, which is required to identify the printer on the 
network. Run the Installer on the Printer Installer and Utilities CD-ROM to automatically 
set the printer’s IP address, if the printer is connected to an established TCP/IP network.

If you do not want to run the Installer to automatically set the IP address, you can do one 
of the following:

■

For Windows operating systems, use TCP/IP to manually set the printer’s IP address.

■

For Macintosh, use TCP/IP or AppleTalk/EtherTalk to set the printer’s network 
address.

Install the driver software on the computer from the Printer Installer and Utilities CD-
ROM. For information on driver installation, see the section in this chapter for the specific 
operating system you are using.

If the Printer Installer and Utilities CD-ROM is not available, you can download the 
latest driver from
