Return to Overview

The machine supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and NetWare, which enables it to be used by Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux computers. It also has a 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T connector that can be used on most LANs.

When using 10Base-T/100Base-TX, connect the machine's RJ-45 connector to a hub port using a Category 5 twisted pair LAN cable. When using 1000Base-T, it is recommended you use an Enhanced Category 5 twisted pair LAN cable.

• When connecting the interface cable or network cable, be sure to observe the following precautions to avoid electrical shock.

• Turn OFF the machine's main power switch before disconnecting the power cord from the power outlet. (See "Before You Start Using This Machine.")

• Turn OFF the computer and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

• You cannot use the machine as a repeater, bridge, or gateway.

• If two or more machines are on an AppleTalk network, they should be switched 'ON' 10 seconds or more apart.

• The machine can automatically detect the type of Ethernet (10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T).

• If you are using a mixed 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T 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 "Timer/Energy Settings," "Specifying the System Manager Settings," and "Department ID Management.")

• Set the network settings.

• Install a driver if necessary. (See Chapter 14, "Before Printing from Computers," or Chapter 15, "Before Sending Faxes from Computers," in Getting Started.)

• Install a utility if necessary. (See the manuals provided with the utility.)
