1—Safety information
Connect the power cord directly to an appropriately rated and properly grounded electrical outlet that is
near the product and easily accessible.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Do not use this product with extension cords, multioutlet power
strips, multioutlet extenders, or other types of surge or UPS devices. The power rating capacity of these
types of accessories can be easily overloaded by a laser printer and may result in poor printer
performance, property damage, or potential fire.
Do not place or use this product near water or wet locations.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: This product uses a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This product uses a printing process that heats the print media, and the heat may cause the media to
release emissions. You must understand the section in your operating instructions that discusses the
guidelines for selecting print media to avoid the possibility of harmful emissions.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The lithium battery in this product is not intended to be
replaced. There is a danger of explosion if a lithium battery is incorrectly replaced. Do not recharge,
disassemble, or incinerate a lithium battery. Discard used lithium batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions and local regulations.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Before moving the printer, follow these guidelines to avoid
personal injury or printer damage:
• Turn the printer off using the power switch, and then unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
• Disconnect all cords and cables from the printer before moving it.
• If an optional tray is installed, then remove it from the printer. To remove the optional tray, slide the
latch on the right side of the tray toward the front of the tray until it clicks into place.
• Use the handholds located on both sides of the printer to lift it.
• Make sure your fingers are not under the printer when you set it down.
• Before setting up the printer, make sure there is adequate clearance around it.
Use only the power cord provided with this product or the manufacturer's authorized replacement.
CAUTION—HOT SURFACE: The inside of the printer might be hot. To reduce the risk of injury from
a hot component, allow the surface to cool before touching it.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the controller board or installing optional
hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug
the power cord from the electrical outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the
printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Make sure that all external connections (such as Ethernet and
telephone system connections) are properly installed in their marked plug-in ports.

Networking
Notes:
• Purchase a wireless network adapter first before setting up the printer on a wireless network. For
information on installing the wireless network adapter, see the instruction sheet that came with the
adapter.
• A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a name assigned to a wireless network. Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and 802.1X - RADIUS are types of security used on a
network.
Preparing to set up the printer on an Ethernet network
To configure your printer to connect to an Ethernet network, organize the following information before you
begin:
Note: If your network automatically assigns IP addresses to computers and printers, continue on to
installing the printer.
• A valid, unique IP address for the printer to use on the network
• The network gateway
• The network mask
• A nickname for the printer (optional)
Note: A printer nickname can make it easier for you to identify your printer on the network. You can
choose to use the default printer nickname, or assign a name that is easier for you to remember.
You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network and an available port where the
printer can physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential
problems caused by a damaged cable.
Installing the printer on an Ethernet network

Preparing to set up the printer on a wireless network
Notes:
• Make sure your wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly. For more
information, see the instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter.
• Make sure your access point (wireless router) is turned on and is working properly.
Make sure you have the following information before setting up the printer on a wireless network:
• SSID—The SSID is also referred to as the network name.
• Wireless Mode (or Network Mode)—The mode is either infrastructure or ad hoc.
- 27 -
User's Guide
• Channel (for ad hoc networks)—The channel defaults to automatic for infrastructure networks.
Some ad hoc networks will also require the automatic setting. Check with your system support person
if you are not sure which channel to select.
• Security Method—There are four basic options for Security Method:
- WEP key
If your network uses more than one WEP key, then enter up to four in the provided spaces.
Select the key currently in use on the network by selecting the default WEP transmit key.
- WPA or WPA2 preshared key or passphrase
WPA includes encryption as an additional layer of security. The choices are AES or TKIP.
Encryption must be set for the same type on the router and on the printer, or the printer will not be
able to communicate on the network.
- 802.1X–RADIUS
If you are installing the printer on an 802.1X network, then you may need the following:
• Authentication type
• Inner authentication type
• 802.1X user name and password
• Certificates
- No security
If your wireless network does not use any type of security, then you will not have any security
information.
Note: We do not recommend using an unsecured wireless network.
Notes:
- If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the
wireless utility of the computer network adapter, and then look for the network name. If you
cannot find the SSID or the security information for your network, then see the documentation
that came with the access point, or contact your system support person.
- To find the WPA/WPA2 preshared key or passphrase for the wireless network, see the
documentation that came with the access point, see the Embedded Web Server associated with
the access point, or consult your system support person.
Connecting the printer to a wireless network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Before connecting the printer to a wireless network, make sure that:
• The access point (wireless router) is Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) certified or WPS-compatible. For
more information, see the documentation that came with your access point.
• A wireless network adapter installed in your printer is attached and working properly. For more
information, see the instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter.
