Prepare to set up the E-42B
To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial E-42B configuration (or
“Setup”) to specify the network environment and the types of printing you do. Before you
perform Setup, decide the levels of access to implement, such as passwords and other security
features that the E-42B offers. Because many of these security features are interconnected,
review the information to plan for an effective security system, and then perform Setup
accordingly.
Ethernet connection
For Ethernet connections, the E-42B supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling for
these network speeds:
• 10BaseT: Category 3 or later
• 100BaseTX: Category 5 or later (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)
• 1000BaseT: Category 5e or later (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)

If you are concerned about information being extracted from the E-42B Ethernet port
without authorization, consider securing the Ethernet port.
3 Power on the E-42B and the copier/printer.
Move the power switch located on the back of the E-42B to the ON position, and then press
the power button located on the front of the E-42B.
The copier/printer receives power from a separate connection from the E-42B.
