2.2 Connecting the Network Interface Board to an Ethernet Net-
work
Connect the Network Interface Board to your Ethernet network using the 10BaseT or
100BaseT Ethernet interface. This network connection uses a 4-wire RJ cable to plug into
the RJ45 network connector on the Network Interface Board. For a description of the
signals, see Appendix B, Network Interface Board Specifications.
2.3 Powering up the Printer
1.
Plug in the power cord.
Turn on the power and wait for the printer to warm up.
2.
The printer may print a status or start-up page if this option is not disabled.
The Network Interface Board then sends a print job to the printer that contains the
Network Interface Board status information. For more information, see Section
8.2 Status Report.
3.
Check the Network Interface Board status report. Record the serial number (six
digits with a three-letter prefix) and the network address or save the status report.
You need this information when you configure the printer for your network.
Refer to the chapters relevant to your particular network setup for instructions on
configuring the network for the Network Interface Board.
