Installing the Device Server Option

Important

  • Region B icon (mainly North America)

    • If you want to use the device server option, contact your service representative.

  • Before beginning work, ground yourself by touching something metal to discharge any static electricity. Static electricity can damage the interface units.

  • Do not subject the Device Server Option to physical shocks.

The optional device server option is an interface board that adds an Ethernet port to the machine.

With this option installed, two Ethernet cables can be connected at the same time using the standard port on the machine and an additional port on the device server option. You can assign different IP addresses to each port, so the machine can print jobs from different network segments.
