Step6
This section describes how to connect the printer to a computer and
network.
This printer is equipped with a LAN connector and USB connector.

Using a LAN Cable

By connecting the printer to a network such as Ethernet to be shared on the
network, you can use the printer from a computer on the network. You can use
UNIX, Windows, Mac OS, and other operating systems.
This printer includes a print server that supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX and
is compatible with the TCP/IP, NetWare, AppleTalk (EtherTalk), and SMB
protocols.
Connect the LAN connector on this printer and a hub port with a Category 5
twisted pair cable. Have cables or a hub ready as needed. For compatible
cables and hubs, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.

• This printer recognizes the type of Ethernet (100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T)
automatically.
•
If both 100BASE-TX devices and 10BASE-T devices are on the same
network, a device such as a switching hub that supports both 100BASE-
TX and 10BASE-T is required. For more details, contact your local
authorized Canon dealer.
•
If you connected this printer to a network, check the MAC address of the
print server with Configuration Page Print, and then configure the network
operating system (UNIX, etc.) and print server. For more details, see "
Network Guide".
