How do I connect the printer to my computer via wired LAN (Ethernet)? (for Windows)

  • To use a static IP address to connect your printer to a wired LAN connection, install the printer driver and Printer Setting Tool from the [Downloads] section of this website, and then specify the wired LAN connection settings.
  • You cannot use the wireless and wired function at the same time. Before you use the wired function, turn off the wireless function.
  • Use a straight-through Category 5 (or greater) twisted-pair cable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Network.
