Epson Stylus Pro 9880 ColorBurst Edition Network Guide - Page 14

Setting Up the Network Interface Connecting the Network Interface to the Network Follow the instructions below to connect the network interface to the network. 1. Make sure that your printer is turned off. 2. Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the network interface, and the other end to the network. c Caution: ❏ You must use a Category 6 shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the network interface to prevent malfunction. ❏ Do not connect or disconnect the network cable when the printer is on. Note: You can use both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX. When you print a lot of data, we recommend you use a high-speed 100Base-TX network with light network traffic. 3. Turn on your printer. c Caution: After turning off the printer, wait until the network interface status lights go off before turning it back on; otherwise the network interface may not work correctly. Note for Mac OS X: Since the printer supports Bonjour and is enabled by default, you can use the printer on a network just by connecting it to the network. If you want to disable the Bonjour setting, use the printer's control panel. See the next section for details. Now, you can configure the network interface for use on a TCP/IP network and install the printer driver. Configuring the Network Interface Configure the network interface for use on a TCP/IP network. 1. Make sure the printer is turned on, and the LCD displays READY. 2.
