Connecting The Printer Cables; Ethernet Cable Connection - Pitney Bowes DP50S Hardware Manual

3. Connecting the Printer Cables

This chapter explains how to connect network and USB cables.

Ethernet Cable Connection

Prepare a hub and other network devices, and connect the Ethernet cable to the printer.
If you are connecting the printer using the printer's standard Ethernet port, use a 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX cable.
If you are connecting the printer using the optional Gigabit Ethernet board, you can use a
1000BASE-T cable, instead of a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cable.
• A network interface cable with a ferrite core must be used for RF interference suppression.
• For users outside the United States of America: properly shielded and grounded cables and con-
nectors must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet
emission limits.
• For users in the United States of America: properly shielded and grounded cables and
tors must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet FCC
emission limits.
• An Ethernet cable is not supplied with this printer. Select your cable according to the network envi-
ronment.
• The printer's Ethernet port is not available when the Gigabit Ethernet board is attached to the printer.
• Use the following Ethernet cables:
• When using 100Base-TX/10Base-T
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or Shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, category 5 or greater.
• When using 1000Base-T:
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or Shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, category 5e or greater.
