Step 13: Attach cables You can attach your printer to a network or locally (directly to a computer). Network printing You can attach your printer to a network using standard network cables. A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard on the network and duplex network printer models. You can add a Token-Ring or 10Base2 Ethernet port to any printer model by installing an optional MarkNet internal print server.
— Token-Ring networks (Shielded Twisted Pair) use a DB9 connector. — Ethernet 10Base2 networks (Thin Coax) use a BNC T-connector. Local printing Note: All Windows operating systems support parallel connections. However, only the Windows 98/Me and Windows 2000 operating systems support USB connections. Some UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh computers also support USB connections. Consult your computer documentation to see if your system supports USB.
To attach the printer to a computer: 1 Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached devices are turned off and unplugged. 2 Connect the printer to the computer using a parallel or USB cable. — Use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable to ensure that you can access all of your printer functions. — Be sure to match the USB symbol on the cable to the USB symbol on the printer.
Step 14: Verify printer setup Turning on the printer 1 Plug one end of the printer power cord into the socket at the back of the printer and the other end into a properly grounded outlet. 2 Turn on the printer. If the printer is attached locally (directly to a computer), leave the computer and any other attached devices turned off. You will turn these on in a later step. The printer requires time to warm up after you turn it on.
Printing a network setup page If the printer is attached to a network, print a network setup page to verify the network connection. This page also provides important information that helps you configure for network printing. Note: If an optional MarkNet 1 card is installed in slot 1, you see Print Net1 Setup.
