Note
❒ Consult your network administrator before connecting the printer to a net-
work.
❒ In a 100BASE-TX environment, be sure to use properly shielded and ground-
ed cable (STP, Category/Type 5) for the connection to the host computer
(and/or HUB) in order to meet FCC and EMC Directive 89/336/EEC emis-
sion guidelines.
Parallel cable
Connect the printer to the host computer parallel port. A parallel cable to con-
nect the printer to the host computer is not included with this printer.
The printer's parallel interface is a standard bidirectional 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).
Connecting the Printer to the Network
Follow these steps to connect the printer to the network via its built in network
interface.
A
Confirm that you have the correct network cable.
B
Turn off the printer.
C
Loop the network cable twice. The loops should be about 10 cm (4 inch)
from the end of the cable on the end closest to the connector.
