The IB-2x can easily be connected to an Ethernet network as explained in this section. Both models conform to the IEEE 802.2, 802.3 and Ethernet II standards.
| Model | Network Connections | Supported Printers/Digital Copiers |
| IB-20 | 10BaseT/100BaseTx (twisted pair cables)+10Base2 (thin coax cables) | FS/LS-600, 680, 1000, 1200, 1700+, 1750, 1800, 3700+, 3800, 5800C, 5900C, 6300, 6700, 6900, 7000+, 7700, and 9000; DP-1400, 1800, 2800+, 3600, and Ci1100; KM-4230,KM-5230 and KM-6230 |
| IB-21 | 10BaseT (twisted pair cables) | FS-1000, FS-1800, FS-3800 |
This section guides you through installing the IB-20/IB-21 interface card.
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.
These instructions below describe the installation of the IB-20 into the FS-1800 but are similar for any Kyocera Mita printer with the slide-in interface ('KUIO').
Turn printer power off and unplug the AC power cable from the printer.
At the back of the printer, remove the cover by unscrewing the two screws. Retain this cover for future re-use.
Insert the interface card into the slot. Align both edges of the card with the guides in the slot. Push the card all the way into the slot.
 |
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the interface card owing to static electricity, discharge your body before touching the interface card. Hold the interface card only by the metal connector plate. |
Secure the interface card with the screws.
Connect the network cable to the interface card. Use a twisted pair cable for the 10BaseT connector; use a thin coax cable for the 10Base2 connector (model IB-20 only).
Plug the power cable to the printer inlet. Turn printer power on.
