Connecting the Printer Locally
A local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB or parallel cable. If your printer is attached to a network instead of your computer, skip this step and go on to "Connecting the Printer to the Network."
Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP, Server 2003, XP x64, Server 2003 x64, Vista and Mac® OS X or later operating systems support USB connections. Some UNIX® and Linux computers also support USB connections. See your computer operating system documentation to see if your system supports USB.
To attach the printer to a computer:
Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached devices are turned off and unplugged.1. Connect the printer to the computer using a USB or parallel cable.2.
Page 63
1
Parallel port
2
USB port
A USB/parallel port requires a USB/parallel cable. Be sure to match the USB/parallel symbol on the cable to the USB/parallel symbol on the printer.
Plug the other end of the cable into a USB or parallel port on the back of the computer. For a USB cable, do not plug it into the USB keyboard.
Turn On the Printer
Plug one end of the printer power cable into the socket at the back of the printer and the other end into a properly grounded outlet.
1.
Page 64
CAUTION: The printer should not be plugged into a UPS system.
Turn on the computer and the printer.2.
Connecting the Printer to the Network
To attach the printer to a network:
Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached devices are turned off and unplugged.1. Connect the printer to the network using an Ethernet cable or the wireless printer adapter.
To use a wireless printer adapter, you must install the Multi Protocol Card first. To install the card, see "Installing the Dell Multi Protocol Card".

Ethernet port
2
Optional wireless printer adapter socket
To connect the printer to the network, plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the printer, and the other end into a LAN drop or hub. For a wireless connection, insert the wireless printer adapter into the wireless printer socket on the back of the printer.
Turn On the Printer
Plug one end of the printer power cable into the socket at the back of the printer and the other end into a properly grounded outlet.
1.
Page 66
CAUTION: The printer should not be plugged into a UPS system.
Turn on the computer and the printer.2.
Print and Check the Printer Settings Page
Print a printer settings page to verify the network connection. This page also provides important information that helps you configure for network printing.
NOTE: Depending on the network configuration, the printer may not be provided an IP address
immediately. If the Printer Settings page does not show an assigned IP address, wait 5 minutes and try again.
Press Menu.1.
Press until Report/List appears, and then press .2.
Printer Setting is displayed. Press .3.

4.
Assign an IP Address
NOTE: When you assign an IP address manually in IPv6 Mode, use the Dell Printer Configuration
Web Tool. To open the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, use the link local address. (To check
a link local address, see "Print and Check the Printer Settings Page".)
An IP address is a unique number that consists of four sections that are delimited by a period and can include up to three digits in each section, for example, 111.222.33.44.
Assigning an IP address already in use can cause network performance issues.
NOTE: Assigning an IP address is considered as an advanced function and is normally done by a
system administrator.
For more information on using your operator panel, see "Operator Panel."

The IP address is assigned to your printer. To verify the setting, open the web browser on any computer connected to the network and enter the IP address into the address bar on the browser. If the IP address is set up correctly, the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool displays in your browser.
You can also assign the IP address to the printer when installing the printer drivers with installer. When you use the Network Installation feature, and the Get IP Address is set to AutoIP on the operator panel menu, you can set the IP address from 0.0.0.0 to the desired IP address on the printer selection window.
Verify the IP Settings
Print another printer settings page.1. Look under the TCP/IP heading on the printer settings page to make sure the IP address, netmask,
and gateway are what you expected.
