Installing the IB-21E Interface Card in the Printer

This section guides you through installing the IB-21E network interface card. The IB-21E can easily be installed in the printer and connected to an Ethernet network as explained in this section. 

The IB-21E conforms to the IEEE 802.2, 802.3 and Ethernet II standards.


Installing the IB-21E in the Printer

WARNING: Be sure to turn off the printer before installation. Damage to both the printer and the interface card may result if the following procedure is followed while the printer power is on. 

 

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the network interface card owing to static electricity, discharge your body before touching the interface card. Hold the interface card only by the metal connector plate.

The instructions below describe the installation of the IB-21E into a typical Kyocera Mita printer and are similar to all Kyocera Mita printers and digital copiers that are incorporated with the standard KUIO (Kyocera Universal I/O) slide-in interface.

  1. Turn printer power off and unplug the AC power cable from the printer.

  2. At the back of the printer, remove the cover by unscrewing the two screws. Retain this cover for future re-use.
