Connecting to the Ethernet Port

The Ethernet interface board has two connectors, l0BASE- and

10BASE-T. The 10BASE-2 connector is for a coaxial cable, bus

connection. The l0BASE-2 connector is for a twisted-pair cable, star

connection. Either will do.

Connecting to the Ethernet port involves the following three tasks:

l

Check the type of cables your network uses.

l

Select the l0BASE-2 or l0BASE-T connector of the interface

board according to the connector type of your cable.

l

Connect the interface cable to the printer and a network port.

Connecting the Ethernet Interface Cable

To connect to the Ethernet interface port, you need a cable correctly
wired for your network. The cable must also have the proper

connectors. Your dealer or technical support person can supply you

with the proper cable.

For example, C66L-2810-0111 and C66L-1240-0002 (Fujitsu
products) are available for l0BASE-T and 10BASE-2 ports

respectively. Also refer to your network documentation for the type

of connector required by its Ethernet port.

Notice:

Be sure that the printer is turned off before connecting the interface cable.

Do not touch any connector contacts to avoid possible electrostatic

damage to the printer. For the same reason, do not remove the protective
cover from the l0BASE-2 port which is not in use because you use the

l0BASE-T port.
