Ethernet Network
This section describes how to configure the printer to communicate via an Ethernet (TCP/IP)
connection.
Note: If using a Windows driver (see “Installing the Windows Driver (Optional)” on page 14) it is best
to configure the Ethernet connection before installing the driver. If the driver is already
installed before configuring the Ethernet connection, you may need to edit the port settings
for the printer in Windows to update the IP address.
To configure network settings on the printer:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
