Use an Ethernet cable to connect your printer to a network, and then install the printer software.

- Connect the printer to your network router, switch, or hub with an Ethernet cable.
- Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.
- Remove any plug or protective cover from the Ethernet port
on the back of the printer.
- Connect an Ethernet cable to the printer and an available port on the router.
