Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended)
Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an
Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB
connection. It also allows you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services (IS).
CentreWare IS provides a simple interface that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor
networked printers from your desktop using an embedded web server. For complete
information about CentreWare IS, click the Help button in CentreWare IS to go to the

Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for
Ethernet.
■ If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.
■ If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, an Ethernet hub and two
twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required.
■ If you are connecting to one or more computers using a cable or DSL router, a cable or
DSL router and two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One
cable for each device.)
■ If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the
hub with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect
to any port on the hub except the uplink port.
TCP/IP and EtherTalk are the most common protocols used with Ethernet. To print using a
TCP/IP protocol, each computer and printer requires a unique IP address.
