NOTE
• The machine can automatically detect the type of Ethernet (10Base-T or 100Base-TX).
• If you are using a mixed 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX environment, devices on the network (hubs, routers,
etc.) must support the mixed environment. For more information, consult your local authorized Canon
dealer.
• After connecting the network cable, perform the following operations. (For more information, see the
relevant descriptions.)
- Set the date and time, and System Manager settings. (See Chapter 6, "System Manager Settings," in
the Reference Guide.)
- Set the network settings.
- Install a printer driver if necessary. (See the PCL Driver Guide, the PS Driver Guide, or the UFR Driver
Guide.)
Using Token Ring (Optional)
The optional Token Ring Board has two connectors. One is an RJ-45 connector, and the other is
a DB9 connector. Use only one of these connectors to connect to the network. Do not connect
anything to the other connector. You cannot use both connectors at the same time.
■ Connect Using an RJ-45 Type Cable
Connect the RJ-45 connector of the optional Token Ring Board that is installed on the machine to a hub
or MAU port using a Category 5 cable. Every computer connected to this network must have Token Ring
capability.
