Connecting to an Ethernet network

A single Ethernet cable can carry a number of network protocols, including
AppleTalk (sometimes called EtherTalk when it’s on an Ethernet network),
Novell NetWare, and TCP/IP. To connect the printer to an Ethernet network
running any combination of these protocols, follow these steps:

1

Obtain an Ethernet transceiver and a length of Ethernet cable appropriate for your

network’s media type—thin, AUI, or twisted pair.

Note: These Apple transceivers are self-terminating. Do not add a terminator
to the end of the network. If you’re not using Apple network devices, check
the instructions that came with the transceivers you are using.

2

Plug the short cable from the transceiver into the Ethernet port (

G

) on the printer.
