Confirming Your Connection
Type
If your printer is connected to a network, it can be shared by multiple computers.
This printer can be used over wireless or wired LAN, as well as with USB connection.
Connection type available for this printer are as follows.
• wireless LAN via an access point (see page 6)
• wired LAN (see page 7)
• USB connection (see page 7)
• combination of USB connection and wireless LAN (see page 8)
• combination of USB connection and wired LAN (see page 8)
To connect to the printer in a certain connection type, it must be available to your computer network setup in
the first place. Before starting setup, make sure you know the type of connection available to your computer,
and decide on a connection type for your printer.
Refer to the manuals of your network devices for necessary information. In an office setup, consult
your network administrator.
5
Connecting over Wireless LAN via an Access Point
Your computer communicates with the printer via an access point (the infrastructure mode). To share the
printer among multiple computers, connect them to the access point.
• When using this printer in a wireless LAN setup, use the infrastructure mode. It does not support
the ad-hoc mode.
• An access point is needed to set up the infrastructure mode.
• If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there is a risk of disclosing
data such as your personal information to a third party.

To use this printer over wired and wireless LAN at the same time, the wired and wireless networks
need to be physically separate, and the printer needs to be assigned a different network address for
each network. Since this requires advanced network knowledge, we recommend that you do not use
the printer with wired and wireless LAN at the same time.

Confirming the Setup Procedure
Along with the various types of connection this printer is capable of (see “Confirming Your Connection
Type” on page 5), necessary setup procedure also differs with whether you are setting up the printer for the
first time or if the printer is already set up and you are adding new computers to use the printer.
• Before proceeding to setup, make sure to read and follow directions in “Before Setup” on page 16.
• If you are using wireless LAN, see “Confirming Settings of your Access Point” on page 18 and
make a note of the access point settings.
Using the Printer for the First Time
When the printer is set up for the first time, the printer itself needs to be set up to be used over a
network, as well as the computer that uses it. Refer to the setup procedure for your connection
type.
• Connecting over Wireless LAN (Infrastructure Mode)
See “First-time Setup for Use over Wireless LAN - Windows” on page 19 or “First-time Setup for Use over
Wireless LAN - Macintosh” on page 25. Before setup, make sure that your computer’s connection with the
access point is operational.
• Connecting over Wired LAN
See “First-time Setup for Use over Wired LAN - Windows” on page 31 or “First-time Setup for Use over
Wired LAN - Macintosh” on page 35. Before setup, make sure that your computer’s connection via the
network is operational.
• Connecting with USB
See “Setting Up for Use with USB Connection - Windows” on page 39 or “Setting Up for Use with USB
Connection - Macintosh” on page 42.
Using the Printer Already Connected to a Network
If the printer is already set up to be shared over a network and you are adding a computer to use it,
the new computer needs to be set up but the printer itself does not need to be set up again.
See“Setting Up an Additional Computer to Use a Printer Already Connected to a Network Windows” on page 45 or “Setting Up an Additional Computer to Use a Printer Already Connected
to a Network - Macintosh” on page 48. Before setup, make sure that your computer’s connection
with the network is operational.
15
Setting Up the Printer and
the Computer
Before Setup
Make sure of the following before proceeding to installation.
• Disable virus detection or any other resident programs.
• Make sure you are connected to the Internet through your LAN. To confirm this, see if you can browse the
web.
• If MAC address filtering or IP address filtering is set to the access point or the router to connect to, disable
it.
• To find out the MAC address of your printer, print the network settings information. To print the network
setting information, see “Printing and Initializing Network Settings” on page 67.
• If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there is a risk of disclosing data
such as your personal information to a third party.
For details on the SSID, WEP key, WPA key, MAC address filtering, or IP address filtering of the access
point, refer to its manual. See “Confirming Settings of your Access Point” on page 18 and make a note of
the access point settings.
• Disable the firewall of any security software until the setup is complete. For details on firewalls, see “On
Firewalls” on page 17.
• If you are using wireless LAN connection, make sure that the computer and the access point is set up
properly and wireless communication is possible.
• If you are using wireless LAN connection, make sure you know the name of the network you are using
(SSID).
• If you are using wireless LAN connection, and a WEP key or a WPA key is set to the access point, make
sure you know the WEP or the WPA key.
• If you are using wired LAN, make sure that your computer and network devices such as hubs are set up
properly so that communication is possible through the wired LAN.
• When the printer is already shared over a network and you are adding a computer to use it, disable the
printer’s access control features if it is enabled.
16
For Windows
• When using Windows XP, you must log on as the administrator. When using Windows 2000, you must
log on as a member of the administrators group. Do not switch users during setup.
• If the following screen appears automatically, click
the USB cable, then resume setup. Re-insert the

On Firewalls
A firewall is a system that prevents unauthorized access to a local network from the outside.
However, a firewall may prevent proper setup or wireless communication of the printer. When
setting up the printer for a use over a network, disable the firewall of your security software.
For information on the firewall feature of your security software, refer to its manual. In an office setup,
consult your network administrator.
17
Confirming Settings of your Access Point
When setting up the printer to be used over wireless LAN, the printer’s network settings are
configured to match those of the access point. Therefore, if you are using wireless LAN, we
recommend that you confirm the necessary information on the access point before entering the
setup process. Check and fill in the table below.
SSID/network name
Stealth/closed network Disabled Enabled
ANY-Rejection Disabled Enabled
Radio channelChannel ( )
Encryption Disabled Enabled
MAC address filtering Disabled Enabled
IP address filtering Disabled Enabled
Client-to-Client Blocking Disabled Enabled

For information on how to confirm the settings of the access point, refer to the manual provided with the
access point.
• If Stealth (closed network) or ANY-Rejection feature is enabled
We recommend you to disable it before entering setup.
• If MAC address filtering is enabled
We recommend that you register the printer’s MAC address to the access point before entering setup. To
confirm the MAC address of the printer, print the printer’s network information. See “Printing Network
Setting Information” on page 67.
• If IP address filtering is enabled
Disable the access point’s IP address filtering feature before entering setup.
