Installing an Interface Expansion Board
Connecting to the Ethernet Port
The Ehternet interface board has two connectors, 10BASE-2 and
10BASE-T. The 10BASE-2 connector is for a coaxial cable, bus
connection. The 10BASE-T connector is for a twisted-pair cable, star
connection. Either will do.
Connecting to the Ethernet port involves the following three tasks:
• Check the type of cables your network uses.
• Select the 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T connector of the interface board
according to the connector type of your cable.
• 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 10BASE-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 10BASE-2 port which is not in use because you use the
10BASE-T port.
The procedure below applies to the 10BASE-2 port.
To make the connection, firmly plug the cable connector into the
Ethernet interface port on the back right of the printer. Secure the
connector by turning the connector hood. Plug the other connector into
a network’s Ethernet port. Consult your computer documentation if you
need help.
