Connecting the Printer
SSeelleeccttiinngg aa CCoonnnneeccttiioonn MMeetthhoodd
You can connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable, Ethernet cable, or wireless
connection. The method that you select depends on how your computer is connected to the network.
A USB connection is a direct connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet connection is used
to connect to a network. If you are using a network connection, it is important to understand how
your computer is connected to the network.
Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers,
network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included
with your printer and must be purchased separately.
USB
If you connect the printer to one computer and do not have a network, use a USB connection. A
USB connection offers fast data speeds, but typically not as fast as a network connection.
Note: To access the Embedded Web Server, a network connection is required.
Network
If your computer is connected to an office network or home network, use an Ethernet cable to
connect the printer to the network. You cannot connect the printer directly to the computer via
Ethernet. A connection through a router or network switch is required. An Ethernet network can be
used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An
Ethernet connection is typically faster than USB and allows you direct access to the settings of the
printer using the Embedded Web Server.
Wireless Network
If your environment includes a wireless router or wireless access point, you can connect the printer
to the network with a wireless connection. A wireless network connection provides the same access
and services as a wired connection. A wireless network connection is typically faster than USB and
allows direct access to the settings of the printer using the Embedded Web Server.
Telephone
To send and receive faxes, the multifunction printer must be connected to a dedicated telephone
line.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network standard for setting up a wireless network. The WPS
protocols enable you to set up devices in a secure wireless network without having wireless
networking experience. With a WPS-certified router, you can use tools in the router and the printer to
connect the printer to the network. To use the tools, ensure that the wireless router is configured
properly and is compliant with the WPS.
•Push Button Connection (PBC) is the easiest way to connect the printer to a wireless network. It
automatically connects when you push a button on the router and on the printer. After the router
and printer exchange information, the printer accepts the security and configuration information
from the router and connects to the network. The PBC is a moderately secure way to connect the
printer to the network. You do not need to enter any information to make the network connection.
•PIN (Personal Identification Number) automatically connects the printer to a wireless router using
a common PIN. The printer generates and prints a PIN for use in the setup process. When you
enter the PIN into the router, the router broadcasts network information using the PIN. When
both devices recognize the PIN, the router provides the security and configuration information to
the printer, which uses it to connect to the network.

The Installation wizard starts the first time you power on the printer. The wizard prompts you with a
series of questions to help you configure basic printer settings.
Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to communicate with a
network printer. For Macintosh OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, Bonjour
does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. Many networks and
cable and DSL routers have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically assigns an IP address to every computer and printer on the network that is configured
to use DHCP.
If you use a Cable or DSL router, refer to the documentation for your router for information on IP
addressing.
By default, the printer is configured to acquire an IP address from the network server using DHCP.
Network addresses assigned by DHCP are temporary, however. After a specified time, the network can
assign a new IP address to the printer. If the print driver is configured to use a specific IP address that
changes periodically, you can experience connectivity issues. To avoid problems, or if your network
administrator requires a static IP address for the printer, you can assign the IP address to the printer.
You can view the IP address of your printer on the control panel or on the Configuration Report. For
details, refer to Finding the IP Address of Your Printer.
1.At the printer control panel, press the Home button.
2.Touch Device→Connectivity→Ethernet→IPv4.
3.To enable IPv4, touch the Enable IPv4 toggle button.
4.To allow your DHCP server to assign an IP address to the printer, touch DHCP, then touch OK.
Note: For best results on most networks, enable DHCP. This option enables Dynamic DNS
Registration.
5.To save the settings, touch OK.
6.Press the Home button.
7.For the settings to take effect, at the prompt, touch Restart Now.
8.Two minutes after the printer restarts, verify that the printer has obtained a valid IP Address. For
details, refer to Finding the IP Address of Your Printer.

Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.
•Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from
ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly
damaging to paper.
•Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
•Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
•Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to
collect moisture.
•Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
•Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
•Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load the paper into the printer.
Leave stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture
loss or gain.
•Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag
until you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.
You can adjust the lengths of trays 1 and 2 to accommodate A4/Letter and Legal paper sizes. In the
Legal length settings, the trays protrude from the front of the printer.
To change Trays 1 and 2 to match the paper length:
1.Remove all paper from the tray.
2.To remove the tray from the printer, pull out the tray until it stops, lift the front of the tray
slightly, then pull it out.

You can print envelopes from Tray 1 or the Bypass Tray.
•Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.
•Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. If you do not get the
desired results, try another envelope brand.
•Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
•Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid excess moisture and dryness which can affect
print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or
during printing.
•Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book
on top of the envelopes.
•In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
•Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
•Do not load more than five envelopes in the Bypass Tray.
•If you do not load envelopes in the bypass tray right after they have been removed
from the packaging, they can bulge. To avoid jams, flatten the envelopes.
