Set the Machine for Network Usage
Connect the Machine to a Network
This machine has a USB connector and LAN connector. If the machine is connected to a network using a
LAN cable, you can use the machine as a network printer, or use functions such as the Internet fax function
which lets you send and receive faxes over the Internet.
1 Attach the ferrite core (A) to the machine connection side of a LAN cable (B). Be sure to wind the cable
around the core once to prevent the core from sliding.
NOTE
The machine does not come with a LAN cable.
2 Connect a Category 5 twisted pair LAN cable to the 10Base-T/100Base-TX port on the back of the
machine. Connect the other end of the cable to a network router or a hub.
NOTE
If you use the machine as a local printer, connect the machine directly to a computer using a USB cable.
