MAINS PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a non-rewireable (moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved fuse and of the same rating as the one removed from the plug must to BS1362 marked or be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied either cut-off the moulded plug (if this type is fitted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing the wiring code below. DANGER: The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur. To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below: IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: GREEN-AND-YELLOW: Earth BLUE: Neutral BROWN: Live As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol @, or coloured green or greenand-yellow. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

CONNECTING THE MACHINE

CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded LAN cable.
After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address and other network settings before installing the software. (The factory default setting for the IP address is to receive the IP address automatically when the machine is used in a DHCP environment.) Network settings can be configured using "Network Settings" in the system settings (administrator) on the machine.
If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing will not be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS server or by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine. This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment and in a Macintosh network environment.

This completes the installation. After installation, see "CONFIGURING THE PRINTER DRIVER FOR THE OPTIONS INSTALLED ON THE MACHINE" (page 23) to configure the printer driver settings. If you installed the PS printer driver or the PPD driver, the PS display fonts can be installed from the "PRINTER UTILITIES" CD-ROM that accompanies the PS3 expansion kit. See "INSTALLING THE PS DISPLAY FONTS" (page 40). If you are using the machine as a print server (with the machine configured as a shared printer), see "USING THE MACHINE AS A SHARED PRINTER" (page 20) to install the printer driver on each of the client computers.
Printing using the IPP function and the SSL function
The IPP function can be used to print to the machine over a network using HTTP protocol. When the machine is in a remote location, this function can be used in place of the fax function to print a higher quality image than a fax. The IPP function can also be used in combination with the SSL (encrypted communication) function to encrypt the print data. This enables secure printing with no concern that the data will be leaked to others.
