Use only the recommended parallel or USB 
interface cables for the printer.
10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet 
interface cables are compatible with the 
printer. Use twisted pair cables suitable for 

network connections. For best 
performance, we recommend that you use 
a Category 5 100Base-TX Ehternet cable.

correct.

driver for your operating system is 
installed.

• Make sure that the port is set correctly in 

the printer driver.

Is the printer’s IP address correct? (When 
using TCP/IP.)
