Introduction

Once you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45
Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users.
You n eed to set up the netw ork pro tocol s on the pri nter to use it as you r

You can set up the following basic network parameters through the
printer’s control panel:
• Co nfigure TCP/IP
• Configure EtherTalk
