Connecting Your
Printer to a Network
PhaserShare Series B Ethernet interface
The PhaserShare Series B Ethernet interface conforms to the IEEE 802.3 and
Ethernet II standards. With the printer’s built-in Ethernet interface, you can
connect the printer directly to an Ethernet network using twisted pair (10BaseT)
cables. With the PhaserShare Series B Ethernet card, you can connect the printer
directly to an Ethernet network using twisted pair (10BaseT or 100BaseTx) or
thin coax (10Base2) cables. Connecting the printer using thick coax (10Base5)
requires an adapter; contact your dealer to obtain adapters, cables, and
terminators.
When a PhaserShare Series B Ethernet card is installed, the printer’s built-in
Ethernet connector is disabled; use the connectors on the card.
When a PhaserShare Series B card is purchased initially with the printer, it is
installed at the factory. When a PhaserShare Series B card is purchased later as
an upgrade kit, follow the instructions that are shipped with the card.

Ethernet connections.
