External USB devices (e.g., memory, keyboard, mouse, etc.) are not supported.
•
A USB cable or network cable are not included in this package. Please obtain a suitable cable for your computer or network.
Connecting to a Network
The machine supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and NetWare, which enables it to be used by Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux
computers. It also has a 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T connector that can be used on most LANs.
When using 10Base-T/100Base-TX, connect the machine's RJ-45 connector to a hub port using a Category 5 twisted pair LAN
cable. When using 1000Base-T, it is recommended you use an Enchanced Category 5 twisted pair LAN cable.
When connecting the interface cable or network cable, be sure to observe the following precautions to avoid electrical shock .
Turn OFF the machine's main power switch before disconnecting the power cord from the power outlet . (See Chapter 1, "Before

•
If two or more machines are on an AppleTalk network, they should be switched 'ON' 10 seconds or more apart.
•
The machine can automatically detect the type of Ethernet (10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T).
•
If you are using a mixed 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T environment, devices on the network (hubs, routers, etc.) must support the mixed
environment. For more information, consult your local authorized Canon dealer.
•
After connecting the network cable, perform the following operations. (For more information, see the relevant descriptions.)
