Network cable requirements
Optional Network Interface Board Type 450-E can be installed to allow direct
connection to an Ethernet network.
Network Interface Board supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX connections.
You can use the machine in the following network environments:
• Using the appropriate network management software and printer driver.
• Attaching the machine to a networked computer set up as a server.

Under Windows NT 4.0, only × 86 CPU is supported.
In a mixed network environment, the protocol switches automatically.
Reference
For more information about resolving network connection problems, see p.13
“Configuring the Printer for the Network”.
Note
❒ Consult your network administrator before connecting the machine to a net-
work.
❒ Be sure to use properly shielded and grounded cable (STP, Category/Type5)
for the connection to the host computer (and/or HUB) in order to meet FCC
and EMC Directive 89/336/EEC emission guidelines.
Parallel cable requirements
Connect the machine to the host computer using a parallel port. This machine
does not provide the parallel cable to connect the machine to the host computer.
The machine's parallel interface is a standard bi-directional interface. It requires
a standard 36-pin parallel cable compliant with IEEE 1284 and a parallel port
available on the host computer.
Note
❒ Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
