Connecting via Wired LAN

The machine and computer are connected via a wired LAN router. Use a LAN cable to connect the machine to the router.

NOTE
The machine does not come with a LAN cable or router. Have them ready as necessary. Use a Category 5 or higher twisted pair cable for the LAN. Make sure that there are ports available on the router to connect the machine and the computer. The machine supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX connections. If you want to connect the machine to a 100BASE-TX Ethernet network, all the devices connected to the LAN (router, LAN cable, and network board for computer) must support 100BASE-TX. The machine cannot connect to both wired and wireless LANs at the same time. If you are switching from wireless LAN to wired LAN, change the connection method to <Wired LAN> beforehand. Selecting Wired LAN or Wireless LAN (MF8580Cdw / MF8280Cw Only) If using the machine in your office, consult your Network Administrator.
