Overview of Network Setup and Configuration
To set up and configure the network:
1.Turn on the printer and the computer.
2.Connect the printer to the network using the recommended hardware and cables.
3.Configure the printer’s network address, which is required to identify the printer on the 
network. 
■Windows operating systems: Run the Installer on the Software and Documentation 
CD-ROM to automatically set the printer’s IP address if the printer is connected to an 
established TCP/IP network. You can also manually set the printer’s IP address on the 
control panel.
■Macintosh systems: Manually set the printer’s network address (for TCP/IP) on the 
control panel.
4.Install the driver software on the computer from the Software and Documentation 
CD-ROM. For information on driver installation, see the section in this chapter for the 
specific operating system you are using.

Setting Up the Network
This section includes:
■Choosing a Connection Method on page 2-3
■Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended) on page 2-3
■Connecting via USB on page 2-4
Choosing a Connection Method
Connect the printer to the network via Ethernet or USB. Hardware and cabling requirements 
vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally not included 
with your printer and must be purchased separately.
Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended)
Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an 
Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB 
connection. It also allows you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services (IS). 
CentreWare IS provides a simple interface that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor 
networked printers from your desktop using an embedded web server. For complete 
information about CentreWare IS, click the Help button in CentreWare IS to go to the 
CentreWare IS Online Help.
Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for 
Ethernet.
■If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required. 
■If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, an Ethernet hub and two 
twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. 
■If you are connecting to one or more computers using a cable or DSL router, a cable or 
DSL router and two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One 
cable for each device.)
■If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the 
hub with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect 
to any port on the hub except the uplink port.
TCP/IP and EtherTalk are the most common protocols used with Ethernet. To print using a 
TCP/IP protocol, each computer and printer requires a unique IP address.

Connecting via USB
If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. However, a 
USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have 
Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows XP, or Windows 2000. Macintosh users 
must use Mac OS 9.x and higher. 
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your 
printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB cable for 
your connection.
1.Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2.Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

Configuring the Network Address
This section includes:
■TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 2-5
■Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-5
■Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-6
■Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-8
TCP/IP and IP Addresses
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate 
TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information. 
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to 
your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s 
Internet Protocol (IP) address. 
PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. 
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is 
important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be 
different. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has 
the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the EtherTalk protocol to talk to a 
networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, 
EtherTalk does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server 
automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is 
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a 
cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.

Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address 
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use 
the installer on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM to detect or assign an IP address to 
your printer. For further instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM into 
your computer’s CD-ROM drive. After the Installer launches, follow the prompts for 
installation. 
Note:For the automatic Installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established 
TCP/IP network.
