Connection and installation
- Check exact model, OS/CPU, rights, toner/paper and data cable. Preserve queues/jobs/network settings and coordinate shared-device changes. Use rated grounded power and approved cord; no cabling during lightning or touching USB while printing. Read actual terms; no default firmware update, reset or security weakening.
- USB: the model's Adding printers guide prepares the connection before driver installation. Use the rear PC Type B printer port, not fax LINE/EXT or memory USB. Install compatible G4 following actual component/connection/power prompts. Check real MB3442 queue/USB port/media/duplex and test print and scan separately.
- Ethernet: connect rear Ethernet to the approved LAN shared with the PC, read the real IP on the printer home screen, install compatible software and select the real device. If discovery fails, use Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname and the correct installed driver. Settings / Reports / Network / Network Setup Page must show connected; compare current IP with PC port and test. Never copy sample IPs.
- Wi-Fi: obtain approval before disconnecting Ethernet, check Settings / Network/Ports / Network Overview / Active Adapter Auto, then Wireless / Setup On Printer Panel / Choose Network for the approved SSID and key. Confirm same LAN, current IP, queue and connected report; test. Wi-Fi Direct is separate. The initial setup wizard's firmware condition does not mandate updating firmware for every Settings-menu installation.
- Mac print: add the real device in Printers & Scanners with AirPrint or Secure AirPrint as the model guide instructs. Scan: choose a genuinely compatible ICA file, mount its DMG and start the supplied installer following release notes. Select the real scanner in Image Capture and test separately. Do not run Windows EXE on Mac or confuse a scan driver with printing. Fax has separate regional telephone requirements.
Troubleshooting
Unresponsive: rated power, on/sleep state, correct USB/LAN port, compatible driver and real queue. After finishing jobs, the official guide permits safe power-off, waiting about 10 seconds and restarting; persistent faults need exact model/error details and official support. Wireless: authorized Active Adapter Auto, correct SSID, approved security mode and password spaces/numbers/case. Disconnected Network Setup Page needs LAN socket/cable checks with the administrator. Scan-only failures need actual compatible scan component, real scanner and connection checks. No arbitrary disassembly, factory reset, mass queue deletion or blanket firewall/encryption disabling.
