Connecting the Printer
Note: Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A USB connection is a direct connection and is not
used for networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. An Ethernet connection is
faster than a USB connection. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different
connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally not included with your printer and must
be purchased separately.
1. Attach the cables:
• If you have a Phaser 6121MFP/S printer configuration, you will connect the printer to your
computer via a standard A/B USB 2.0 cable.
• If you have a Phaser 6121MFP/N or /D printer configuration and your computer is connected
to a network, connect the printer to the network using a standard Ethernet cable (category 5,
RJ45). If you do not have a network, connect the printer to your computer using a standard A/B
USB 2.0 cable.
