Connecting the Machine (Network Connections)

Note

❒Consult your network administrator before connecting the machine to a net- work.

❒Make sure to use a properly shielded and grounded cable (UTP, STP, Catego- ry/Type5) for the connection to the host computer (and/or HUB) in order to meet FCC and EMC Directive 89/336/EEC emission guidelines.

When the Wireless LAN Board (option) is installed

When using the Wireless LAN Interface on the network, keep the following points in mind:

❖Attach both antennas as a unit.❖When moving the machine

Detach the antennas when relocating the machine locally. After moving the machine, reattach the antennas, ensuring that:

•The antennas are positioned clear of obstacles.

•There is 40 to 60 mm between the antennas, so that they do not touch.

•The exposure glass cover and Document Feeder (ADF) do not knock the antennas.

❖If the network area provides poor radio environment

Where radio wave conditions are bad, the network may not function due to interrupted or failed connections. When checking the Wireless LAN Signal and the access point, follow these steps to improve the situation:

•Position the access point nearer to the machine.

•Clear the space between access point and machine of obstructions.

•Move radio wave generating appliances, such as microwaves, away from the machine and access point.
