Step 1

Unpack and set up the printer.

This step must be done before attempting to configure the printer on a network. Printer setup includes installing ink or toner, loading paper trays, and turning on the printer. See your printer's user documentation for information about printer setup.

Step 2

Install the network card in the printer.

This step is necessary if the printer is to be equipped with an optional network card. It is not necessary when using the printer's built-in Ethernet connector. This step is done at the factory when a network card is purchased initially with your printer.

When a network card is purchased later as an upgrade kit, follow the installation instructions included with the card.

Information on physically connecting the printer to networks is provided in this manual:
