7.3. INSTALLATION OF NETWORK INTERFACE BOARD
The standard interface for the Rockhopper printer has a parallel Centronics compatible interface as standard
equipment. The network interface board, RJ8-ETH14, for connection to Ethernet is also available as an
option. The following procedure explains how to install the network interface board.
Caution:
¾ The power to the Rockhopper must be switched off and the power cord removed
before the network interface board is installed.
Step 1 : Undo the screws holding the silver coloured interface plate on the left side of the board box below
the printer and remove the interface plate.
Step 2 : Insert the optional interface board into the slot as shown in the diagram. When the interface
board has reached the back, push it again to ensure it is pushed fully back.
Caution:
¾ Electronic components are susceptible to damage by static electricity. Remove
static charge from your clothes and body by touching your hands to the board
box before you touch the network interface board..
Step 3 : Fasten the two interface mounting screws.
Step 4 : Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable compatible with both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX to the
connector on the interface board. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the 10BASE-T
or 100BASE-TX network hub.
