Connecting the Machine to a Computer or
Network
This section describes how to connect the machine to a computer or network, and describes
the types of connection and cables you can use.
The machine can be connected to a computer or network with a USB cable, 10Base-T/
100Base-TX Ethernet cable, or Token Ring cable.
CAUTION
When connecting the interface cable or network cable, be sure to observe the following
precautions in order to avoid electrical shock.
- Turn the main power switch to OFF before unplugging the power cable from the power
supply. (See Chapter 1, "Before You Start Using This Machine," in the Reference Guide.)
- Turn OFF the computer and unplug its power cord from the power supply.
IMPORTANT
• External USB devices (i.e. memory, keyboard, mouse, etc.) are not supported by the optional USB
Interface Board.
• A USB cable or a network cable are not included in this package. Please obtain a suitable cable for your
computer or network.
• The machine supports both Ethernet and Token Ring networks; however, you cannot use the machine
to connect to both types of networks at the same time.
• If the machine has both network boards (Ethernet and Token Ring) installed, the Token Ring has priority
over the Ethernet.
• You cannot use Ethernet and Token Ring at the same time. When a Token Ring Board is installed in the
machine, you cannot use Ethernet. To use Ethernet, you need to remove the Token Ring Board from the
machine.
• The Token Ring Board and the USB Interface Board cannot be installed together.
• For more information on the USB Interface Board and the Token Ring Network I/F Adapter, consult your
local authorized Canon dealer.
