About the USB Ports

When the printer is connected to your network, you can send commands
directly to the printer through a terminal connection (Telnet) or send
instructions through FTP. When you turn on the printer, it automatically
retrieves an IP address from the network (DHCP).
• Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the
printer and connect the other end of the cable to your network:
• If your network uses a DHCP server to assign IP addresses, the
IP address appears in the lower left corner of the screen.
• If your network does not use a DHCP server to assign IP
addresses, you need to set a static IP address and other network
information manually. From the Main Menu, select Settings >
Communications > Ethernet > IPv4 or IPv6 and configure the
necessary settings.
The printer has a USB host port and a USB device port. You can connect
peripheral devices to either USB port.
