Connect the MX700 using a network cable. To allow for network printing, the MX700 must be connected via a Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable that is directly connected to either a network hub, port or router. Once connected, the print server will identify the MX700 as a printer and ask whether or not you want to install the print drivers for the printer.

Select "Yes" when asked to install the MX700 into the print server. Depending on the operating system of your network print server, the print drivers will either be automatically installed or you will be instructed to load the print drivers.
