Connecting to the Network Note: You must use a Category 5 shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the network interface to prevent malfunction. You can use both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks. When you print a lot of data, we recommend using the highest speed available for your product with light network traffic. Make sure you have the correct cable for connecting the printer. To connect to a network switch or hub, you need a standard RJ-45 "straight-through" network cable. To connect directly to your computer's network interface, you need an RJ-45 crossover cable. 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Connect one end of the appropriate cable to the printer's Ethernet port. Then connect the other end to your network switch or hub or your computer's Ethernet port. 3. Turn on the printer. Once the printer is connected to your network, you need to configure it. See "Configuring the Network Interface" on page 16 for instructions. 15
