Ethernet Option
Introduction
The Ethernet option includes the Ethernet port and the internal Printer Server.
Printer Management: The Printer Driver provides bi-directional status information
so you can monitor and manage the Printer just as you would any other networked
Printer.
Compatibility: The Ethernet option provides compatibility with TCP/IP and 802.3
Ethernet protocols with an IEEE 802.3 10/100Base-T Ethernet female RJ45
connector.
Application: With the Ethernet Option properly installed and configured, these
printers are able to print in the same manner as a printer directly connected to the
PC via a USB interface.
Technical Specification - Ethernet Option
Here are the system requirements for Ethernet.
Caution: For safety purposes, Ethernet is not intended for a direct connection
outside of the building.
An IEEE 802.3 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network is required.
A Printer with the Ethernet option installed is required.
Since TCP/IP is used for the network communication, the Printer
must be configured with an IP address and a subnet mask (before it
can be seen on the network).
An additional network setting for the Default Gateway can also be
configured, which allows communication across the subnets.
A PC running Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003,
connected to the network is required.
The host PC must have installed the correct Printer Driver with
Ethernet support. (Note: This Driver must be configured for printing
to the IP address of the Printer.)
