Adding Paper Sources

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 networks Ethernet port. Consult your computer documentation if you need help.

Selecting the Ethernet Interface

The printer’s standard interfaces are parallel and serial. While the Ethernet interface board is installed, the printer automatically detects that the computer is using the Ethernet interface.

Adding Paper

Paper Feeder

Sources

If you switch paper sizes frequently, you may want to add a second

 

 

paper source. Or you may simply wait to increase the paper capacity

 

of your printer. You can easily do this by installing an optional paper

 

feeder which consists of a base frame and a paper tray. The paper tray

 

in the paper feeder is identified as tray 2 and the one in the basic

 

configuration is identified as tray 1.

 

The paper types and sizes used by tray 2 are the same as those for the

 

standard paper tray. The capacity is 500 sheets of 0.09 mm thick

 

paper, twice that of the standard paper tray.
