Step 2: Install the VideoNet Protocol

6.Power on the computer.

After Windows starts, it detects the new interface card and installs the driver software.

The VideoNet networking protocol is used to communicate with the printer. These instructions assume a familiarity with Microsoft Windows XP administrative functions. If necessary, consult your network or computer administrator or consultant for assistance.

Caution The VideoNet protocol is not compatible with Novell NetWare. Do not install VideoNet if you are using Novell NetWare.

1.Display the Local Area Connection icons.

On the Windows Start menu, click Control Panel. From the Control Panel, click Network & Internet Connections. From Network & Internet Connections, click Network Connections.

You should see two icons, one representing your office LAN, the other representing the VideoNet connection.

It can be difficult to determine which icon represents which connection. One way to determine this is to unplug the VideoNet cable and observe which icon shows a red “X” (see the following figure).
