If the printer is to be connected to a network, connect the network cable now. If not, skip this step and go to the Connect the power cable and turn on the printer section in this document.

  caution:

Do not connect a USB cable now. To use a USB cable to connect the printer to the computer, connect it when prompted during software installation.

To use the fax function, connect the supplied phone cable between the fax port on the printer and a phone jack.

note:

A specific adapter for the RJ11 phone cable might be required to connect to the phone jack.

1. Connect the power cable to the printer. To prevent damage to the printer, use only the power cable that is provided with the printer.
2. Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

     caution:

   Make sure the power source is adequate for the printer voltage rating. The voltage rating is on the printer label. The printer uses either 100-127 Vac or 220-240 Vac and 50/60 Hz.

3. Turn the printer power on.
   Wait for 60 seconds before continuing. During this time, if the printer is connected to a network, the network recognizes the printer and assigns an IP address or host name for the printer.
4. On the control panel, set the language, the date/time format, and the time zone. When the Home screen appears, touch Initial Setup, and enable basic printer functions.

   note:

   For advanced setup for network-connected printers, enter the printer IP address in the address bar of a Web browser after software installation is complete.
