Reference
For information about connection
using Ethernet and wireless LAN,
see "Confirming the Connection",
Network Guide.
For information about connection
using BluetoothTM, see the manual
that comes with the optional Blue-
tooth interface unit.
Requirements
Before using this machine, make sure
all environmental and electrical re-
quirements are met. Connect the ma-
chine to the host computer using the
parallel port, network interface unit,
or both.
Make sure all cables, connectors, and
electrical outlets necessary to attach
the machine to the host computer or
network are at hand.
Connecting the Machine to the host
using the parallel cable/SCSI print (IEEE
1394) cable
Connect the machine to the host com-
puter using the parallel port or op-
tional IEEE 1394 interface board. This
machine does not come with a paral-
lel cable to connect the machine to the
host computer.
The machine's parallel interface is a
standard bidirectional interface. It re-
quires a standard IEEE 1284 compli-
ant 36-pin parallel cable and a parallel
port on the host computer. Make sure
you purchase the appropriate cable
for the machine and your computer.
Note
Do not use a parallel cable that is
longer than 3 meters (10 feet).
Rating voltage of the interface con-
nector: Max. DC 5V
Follow the procedure below to con-
nect the machine to the host computer
using a parallel cable or IEEE 1394 in-
terface cable.
Important
Before connecting the machine and
a computer using an interface ca-
ble, make sure the machine is not
operating, and then turn off the
main power switches of the ma-
chine and computer.
Be sure to use a specified interface
cable. Other cables may cause ra-
dio interference.
ATurn off the main power switches
of the machine and computer.
Important
Before turning off the main
power switch, see “Turning Off
the Power”, General Settings
Guide.

SE/Me or Windows 2000/XP, a
printer driver installation
screen might appear when the
computer is turned on. If this
happens, click [Cancel]on the
screen. For more information,
see p.15 “Auto Run”.
The machine and computer are
now connected. The printer driver
must be installed next. For infor-
mation about how to install the
printer driver, see p.15 “Installing
the Software”.
Connecting the machine to the host
using a USB cable
You can connect the machine to the
host computer using a USB interface
cable when the optional USB 2.0 inter-
face board is installed in the machine.
This machine does not come with a
USB interface cable. Make sure you
purchase the appropriate cable for the
machine and your computer.
Follow the procedure below to con-
nect the machine to the host computer
using a USB interface cable.
AConnect the USB 2.0 interface ca-
ble to the USB port on the right
side of the machine's back cover.
BConnect the other end to the USB
port on the host computer.
Note
The optional USB 2.0 interface
board is supported by Windows
98 SE/Me, Windows 2000/XP,
Mac OS 9.x, and Mac OS X Clas-
sic mode.
• For Windows 98 SE/Me:
Make sure to install “USB
Printing Support”. If USB 2.0
is used with Windows 98
SE/Me, only a speed equal to
that of USB 1.1 is possible.
•ForMacintosh:
Macintosh supports only the
standard USB port. If USB 2.0
is used with a Macintosh,

Setting Paper on the Bypass
Tray
This section gives instructions for set-
ting paper on the bypass tray. Use the
bypass tray to print onto OHP trans-
parencies, labels, thick paper, and en-
velopes that cannot be loaded in the
paper tray.
Reference
For details about setting paper in
the regular paper tray, see General
Settings Guide.
Note
When loading letterhead paper,
pay attention to its orientation. See
“Orientation-Fixed Paper or Two-
Sided Paper”, General Settings
Guide.
Paper within the following dimen-
sions can be set in the bypass tray:
• Vertical: 100.0-297.0 mm (3.93
in-11.69 in.)
• Horizontal: 148.0-600.0 mm
(5.83 in.-23.62 in.)
Be sure to set the paper with the
side you want to print facing down
in the bypass tray.
When loading OHP transparencies
or thick paper in the bypass tray,
make the paper setting using the
control panel or printer driver.
The number of sheets that can be
loaded in the bypass tray depends
on the paper type.
Limitation
The following functions are disa-
bled when printing from the by-
pass tray:
• Duplex Printing
•AutoTraySelect
• Auto Tray Switching
• Rotating Collate
• Staple (when the optional unit is
installed)
• Punch (when the optional unit
is installed)
Important
When printing using the printer
function, original images are al-
ways rotated by 180 degrees (the
orientation of images to be printed
is opposite to that of the copier
function). When printing onto pa-
per with specific orientation re-
quirements, such as envelopes and
letterheads, make sure to rotate the
paper feed orientation to 180 de-
grees.
Be sure to set the paper size using
the printer driver when printing
data from the computer. The paper
size set using the printer driver has
priority over the one set using the
display panel.
AOpen the bypass tray.
BAdjust the paper guides to the pa-
per size.
Important
If the paper guides are not flush
against the paper, skewed im-
ages or paper misfeeds might
occur.
