PhaserShare network and serial connections

Optional PhaserShare cards provide Ethernet, Token Ring, or LocalTalk/Serial connections for the printer. PhaserShare network cards offer high performance and ßexible workgroup connectivity. All data input ports and network protocols are simultaneously active. Print jobs are processed on a Þrst-come, Þrst-served basis.

PhaserShare cards can be purchased initially with the printer or later as a separate upgrade kit. For ordering information, refer to ÒPhaserShare network cards (recommended)Ó on page 8-7.

Installing PhaserShare™ network cards

The PhaserShare Network Cards and Software System Administrator Manual contains detailed information on installing, conÞguring and using the optional network interfaces.

Caution Observe static electricity precautions when installing a

PhaserShare network card.

1.Power down the printer. Do not unplug the printer; this preserves a ground path to dissipate static charges. Unpack the network card.

Note The Token Ring Network Card requires jumpers to be properly positioned on the network card to support the speed of the network.

2.Remove the network card cover plate from the rear panel of the printer. Slide the network card into the card slot and Þrmly push it into place. Secure the card in place with its thumbscrews.
