Set up the device and use it on the network

came with the device to set up printer drivers for the following network setups.
To configure a network port-connected device configuration (direct
mode or peer-to-peer printing)
In this configuration, the device is connected directly to the network, and all computers on
the network print directly to the device.
Note
This mode is the recommended network configuration for the device.
1. Connect the device directly to the network by inserting a network cable into the device
network port.
2. At the device, use the control panel to print a Configuration page. See
