Network Board Setting the Network Board 
The default value of the network board is set at Auto detect. Usually, you do not 
need to change the setting, since the transmission speed and transfer mode of 
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX are detected automatically. If the printer cannot 
communicate with other devices on the network, set the DIP switches on the 
network board. Before setting the DIP switches, turn the printer OFF, then remove 
the network board. A Phillips screwdriver is required for removing the network 
board. Have a screwdriver ready in advance that matches the size of the screws. 
Set the DIP switches according to the transmission speed of the connected network 
as follows.
IMPORTANT
 
When setting the DIP switches, be careful not to damage the main board with the tip of a 
ball-point pen etc. Do not use a sharp object such as a mechanical pencil.
