Note

To connect to a network hub, you need a standard RJ-45 “straight through” network cable. If you want to connect the printer directly to your computer (instead of through a network), use an RJ-45 “crossover” cable.

Connecting to the Ethernet Port

To connect the printer using its Ethernet port, you need a 10/100 Ethernet cable. Follow the steps below to connect the printer.

1.Make sure the printer is turned off.

2.Connect one end of the network cable to the 10/100 port on the back of your printer.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to your network hub or directly to your computer, as needed.

If you’re connecting through a network, see page 1-41for instructions on configuring your client systems and to finish setting up the printer. If you’re connecting directly to a computer, continue with the instructions in the next section.
