A local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB or parallel cable. If your multifunction
printer is attached to a network instead of your computer, skip this step and go on to "Connecting the
Multifunction Printer to the Network."
Microsoft®Windows®2000, Windows XP, Windows Server®2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP 64-bit
Edition, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 Edition, Windows
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 multifunction printer to a computer:
1. Ensure the multifunction printer, computer, and any other attached devices are turned off and
unplugged.
2. Connect the multifunction printer to the computer using a USB or parallel cable.
1.
Plug one
end of the printer power cable into the socket at the back of the
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 multifunction 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 Multifunction Printer
Before turning on the multifunction printer, be sure to release the carriage lock of the scanner.
NOTE: If you use the optional duplexer, remove the protection film attached to the transfer belt unit of
the duplexer. For details, see "Installing a Duplexer".
NOTE: When you are moving the multifunction printer or do not intend to use it for a long period of
time, move the switch to the lock position.
other end into a properly grounded
outlet.
CAUTION: Do not use extension cords or power strips.
CAUTION: The multifunction printer should not be plugged into a UPS system.
2. Turn on the computer and the multifunction printer.
Connecting the Multifunction Printer to the Network
To attach the multifunction printer to a network:
1. Ensure the multifunction printer, computer, and any other attached devices are turned off and
unplugged.
2. Connect the multifunction 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".
To connect the multifunction printer to the network, plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port
on the back of the multifunction 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 multifunction printer.
Turn On the Multifunction Printer
1. Plug one end of the printer power cable into the socket at the back of the multifunction printer and the
other end into a properly grounded outlet.
CAUTION: Do not use extension cords or power strips.
CAUTION: The multifunction printer should not be plugged into a UPS system.
Print a system 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 multifunction printer may not be provided an IP
address immediately. If the System Settings page does not show an assigned IP address, wait five
minutes and try again.
1. Press until >SETUP appears, and then press .
2. Press until >Reports appears, and then press
3. System Settings is displayed. Press
The system settings page is printed.
4. If the IP address shows anything other than 0.0.0.0 (the factory default) or 169.254.xx.xx, the
multifunction printer has an IP address assigned and stored. Go to "Verify the IP Settings."
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 System 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.
