5.3. USB interface
Connect the computer to the USB interface of the printer, using the supplied A-B cable. Upon
initiation of the printer, the computer detects the newly installed device and requests the installation of
the printer driver. Please see also chapter 7.
5.4. RS-232 interface
Connect the computer and the printer using the cable supplied, and secure the cable connection with
the screws and clips located on the plug-in connectors.
5.5. Ethernet interface
Connect the printer Ethernet interface to the network, using an RJ45 cable for 10 base T or 100
base T, respectively. You will require a patch cable for connection to the network jack, and a cross-
over cable for a direct printer connection to the Ethernet card of a local computer.
At time of delivery, the printer is configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP from a suitable device
in the network.
If your network does not provide a DHCP server, the DHCP must be deactivated. The printer has a
factory-set IP address (192.168.000.077) which may be changed using the navigator pad. The
preset Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.000.
