Ricoh Aficio 401 Operating Instructions Manual page 27

To use the machine with a PC network, you can connect to the network in
one of the following ways:
Connect the machine to a computer that is connected to a local area
network (LAN). If the printing software for the network resides on the
computer to which you connect the machine, this computer can act as
a print server, spooling and managing print jobs for the users on the
network.
Directly connect the machine to an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN by
providing the appropriate physical connection. When you connect to the
network in this manner, you do not have to dedicate a specific com-
puter as the print server.
Regardless of how you connect the machine to the network, refer to the
Network interface documentation provided with this option for further infor-
mation.
Note: Make sure to consult with your Network Administrator before deciding
how you want to connect the machine to the network.
Refer to Chapter 7, "Specifications," for the cable specifications.
