Initial Setup

Physically Connecting the Printer

You can connect to your printer directly from your computer using USB, or connect to a network using
an Ethernet cable or wireless connection. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different
connection methods. Routers, network hubs and switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables
are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately.
Note: Network features are not available when the printer is connected using a USB cable
connection.
1. For Network installations, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back
of the printer, connect the other end of the cable to a correctly configured network port.
For USB installations, connect the one end of the USB AB cable to the USB B port on the back of
the printer, connect the other end to a standard USB A connection on your computer.
2. Connect the power cord to the printer, then plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.

IP address, configure DNS server settings, or configure other TCP/IP settings, refer to TCP/IP.
