Installing an Interface Expansion Board

Connecting to the Ethernet Port

 

The Ehternet interface board has two connectors, 10BASE-2 and

 

10BASE-T. The 10BASE-2 connector is for a coaxial cable, bus

 

connection. The 10BASE-T connector is for a twisted-pair cable, star

 

connection. Either will do.

 

Connecting to the Ethernet port involves the following three tasks:

ENHANCING &

• Check the type of cables your network uses.

CUSTOMIZING

 

Select the 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T connector of the interface board according to the connector type of your cable.

Connect the interface cable to the printer and a network port.

Connecting the Ethernet Interface Cable

To connect to the Ethernet interface port, you need a cable correctly wired for your network. The cable must also have the proper connectors. Your dealer or technical support person can supply you with the proper cable.

For example, C66L-2810-0111 and C66L-1240-0002 (Fujitsu products) are available for 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 ports respectively. Also refer to your network documentation for the type of connector required by its Ethernet port.

Notice:

Be sure that the printer is turned off before connecting the interface cable.

Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible electrostatic damage to the printer. For the same reason, do not remove the protective cover from the 10BASE-2 port which is not in use because you use the 10BASE-T port.

The procedure below applies to the 10BASE-2 port.

To make the connection, firmly plug the cable connector into the Ethernet interface port on the back right of the printer. Secure the connector by turning the connector hood. Plug the other connector into a network’s Ethernet port. Consult your computer documentation if you need help.
