Printing

Computers on the network send print jobs directly to the printer, which prints them in the

order received.

The printer can accept print jobs sent simultaneously from four users.

For example, if five users each send a print job to the printer at the same time, the printer

accepts four of the print jobs and rejects the fifth. The user who sent the fifth print job

should wait a few minutes and then resend the print job.

What you need for a wired network

To connect the printer to a wired network, you need the following:

● A functional Ethernet network that includes an Ethernet router, switch, or a wireless

access point with Ethernet ports

● CAT-5 Ethernet cable

Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they

are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one and each

has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called an RJ-45

connector) is wider and thicker and always has eight contacts on the end. A phone

connector has between two and six contacts.

● A desktop computer or laptop with either a wired or wireless connection to the router

or access point.

● Broadband Internet access (recommended) such as cable or DSL.

Ethernet network examples

These are some common Ethernet network configurations:

Shared Internet connection with a router acting as a gateway

In this example, a router manages the network connections and acts as a gateway

between the network and the Internet.
