Connecting to the Ethernet Port

The Ethernet interface board has two connectors, l0BASE- and 10BASE-T. The 10BASE-2 connector is for a coaxial cable, bus connection. The l0BASE-2 connector is for a twisted-pair cable, star connection. Either will do.

Connecting to the Ethernet port involves the following three tasks:

Check the type of cables your network uses.

Select the l0BASE-2or l0BASE-Tconnector 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 l0BASE-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 l0BASE-2 port which is not in use because you use the l0BASE-Tport.
