Connecting the Power Cord

Note: Before connecting/disconnecting the power cord, make sure that power to the printer and all the devices connected to the printer is turned off. Also make sure the power cable plug is disconnected from the AC outlet.

Check the label on the back or bottom of the printer to make sure its voltage matches that of the AC outlet. Also make sure the plug on the power cord matches the AC outlet.
If the power is not attached to the printer, plug the appropriate end into the AC inlet on the back of the printer.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet.

Step 1 - Connect the Printer to the Router/LAN

Step 2 - Acquire the IP Address

Make sure the printer is OFF
Hold down the Feed button on the printer’s control panel
Turn the printer ON.
The printer will start printing the test and diagnostic page. If the printer is able to acquire an IP address from your network, the second page of the test page will show the current IP Address of the printer. Keep this handy as it will be needed later on in the software setup.

Note: If the printer did not acquire an IP Address, check your network cable to make sure it is connected properly and that your router is turned on. Check with your network specialist if you are still unable to acquire an IP Address after making sure that the router is ON and the Network cable is connected.
