Toshiba E Studio 450, NIC Card activation.

[Guest]

We purchased an Estudio 450 for a small office and would like to make this a standalone, networked printer. It came with a NIC but it does not appear to be activated. We called for support and we were sent a small, purple usb dongle with no instructions on how/where to install. Of course the cost for them to come do the install is a joke.. I am guessing this dongle is used to activate the network card but can find no reference to it. Crazy stuff... Any help/clues appreciated...

Thank You

Using a magnifying glass I have been able to determine that this usb style dongle is a gm2010.. Where does this need to be installed in the printer??

Thanks..

Just stick it into USB port on the rear side, and you'll have printer enabled.

Thanks. I hope it is that easy.. Nothing easy about this 450 so far...

The 2010 also enables scanning..once the dongle is installed you can set this MFP up as a printer very easily, but, the only problem you may have is if the MFP firmware has never been updated, you may have issues using Vista as an OS. Emujo
