a working Ethernet network, and that all computers in
the network are on and connected (including hubs and
routers).
2. Go to your printer’s front panel, use the Menu key if
necessary to find the main menu, and select the icon.
If you have a Z2100 select ‘Fast Ethernet’
followed by ‘View configuration’ and if you

Ethernet’ followed by ‘View configuration’. Note the
mDNS service name of your printer.

the CD icon on your screen and look for the ‘Mac OS X

ways if necessary to see the Connection Type column.
