1. Turn off your PC.
2. Plug the serial cable’s 9-pin male connector into the printer’s
serial port.
3. Plug the other connector (either a 25-pin or a 9-pin female
connector) into the computer’s serial port.

Connecting to the Ethernet Ports
Using the Ethernet port, you can connect to a network using
unshielded twisted pair cable.
Unshielded Twisted Pair (10BaseT and 10/100BaseT)
Each device in a network installation using UTP cable must be
connected to a hub. The maximum length for a UTP cable
connection from device to hub is 328 feet (100 m). Larger networks
are formed by linking hubs to repeaters, routers, gateways, or other
hubs.
