Connecting to a Printer on a Network
Networking printers allows multiple computers to connect and print at the same time. With a network
connection, you can retrieve scans, send internet faxes, access printer settings and status information
using CentreWare Internet Services (CentreWare IS).
To connect to the printer on a network:
• Single Computer: Connect an Ethernet (Cat5/RJ-45) crossover cable from the computer to the
printer’s Ethernet port.
• Multiple Computers: Connect a standard Ethernet (Cat5/RJ-45) cable from each computer to an
Ethernet hub or a Cable/DSL router. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the hub/router to the
printer’s Ethernet port.
Note: Cables and other networking hardware such as hubs or routers are not included with your
printer and must be purchased separately.
Connecting with USB
USB offers the ability to directly connect a computer quickly and simply to the printer with a USB cable.
Many functions requiring internet access and network communication, such as scanning and Internet
Faxing, are not available over USB.
To connect using USB, connect one end of a standard USB 2.0 cable to your computer and the other
end to the printer’s USB port.
Note: Cables are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately.
