3. Connecting the Printer Cables
This chapter explains how to connect network and USB cables.
Ethernet Cable Connection
Prepare a hub and other network devices, and connect the Ethernet cable to the printer.
If you are connecting the printer using the printer's standard Ethernet port, use a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-
TX cable.
If you are connecting the printer using the optional Gigabit Ethernet board, you can use a 1000BASE-T
cable, instead of a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cable.
• A network interface cable with a ferrite core must be used for RF interference suppression.
• For users outside the United States of America: properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors
must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet emission limits.
• For users in the United States of America: properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors
must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet FCC emission
limits.
• An Ethernet cable is not supplied with this printer. Select your cable according to the network
environment.
• The printer's Ethernet port is not available when the Gigabit Ethernet board is attached to the printer.
• Use the following Ethernet cables:
• When using 100Base-TX/10Base-T
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or Shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, category 5 or greater.
• When using 1000Base-T:
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or Shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, category 5e or greater.
