Ethernet connection
For Ethernet connections, the EX700i supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling for
these network speeds:
• 10BaseT: Category 3 or higher
• 100BaseTX: Category 5 or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)
• 1000BaseT: Category 5e or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)
TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK
1 Power off the digital press and the EX700i.
For information about the proper procedures, see page 57.
2 Connect the network cable from the network to the appropriate network connector on the
back of the EX700i.
3 Power on the EX700i and the digital press.
About Setup
Setup configures the EX700i to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs.
Perform Setup the first time you turn on the EX700i, after new system software is loaded, and
any time Server software is reinstalled. Then perform the remaining Setup options from
Configure. When the network or user printing environment changes, change the options
accordingly.
You can perform Setup from a networked computer using Configure or from the digital press
touch panel. Configure Setup allows you to use your keyboard to enter Setup options. If you
prefer to use Configure to configure the EX700i, see “Accessing Configure from a network
computer” on page 32.
Setup from the digital press touch panel
Perform initial Setup from the digital press touch panel. After the initial Setup, you can
change Setup options from a network computer (page 32).
If you do not set options in the Setup menus, the EX700i uses default settings. You must
choose settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.
Setup from a network computer
To set up the EX700i from a network computer, use Configure (page 32). Access Configure
from WebTools or Command WorkStation.
