For network setup, your workstation and network operating system should be configured and operating correctly, and your SuperScript 4650 Series printer drivers should already be properly installed.

Hardware Requirements

You need to provide the following to set up your printer:

•For standard connection, a IEEE 1284 compliant parallel cable.

•For network connection, Category 5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for 10/100Base-TX Ethernet, shown below.

note: The network interface card (NIC) automatically detects whether you have a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet connection. For better performance, NEC recommends that you use shielded cable and connectors when connecting to 100 Mbps Ethernet.
