Step 2: Select a location for y our
printer
Choosing the correct location for your
new printer is vital to ensuring the printer
provides you with the quality of service
you expect.
Consider these factors when selecting a
place to set up your printer:
• The type of environment
necessary for optimum printer
performance
• The amount of space required for
your printer and all its options
Considering
environmental issues
Note: Adequate ventilation is important
if you expect to print high volumes of
materials or print continuously.
When choosing a place to set up the
printer, look for:
• A firm, level surface
• An area that is:
— Well ventilated
— Clean, dry, and free of dust
— Away from direct sunlight
— Free of temperature or
humidity extremes or
fluctuations
— Away from the direct airflow of
heaters, air conditioners, or
ventilators

memory and flash memory cards in the
connectors. However, the printer only
recognizes one flash memory card at a
time.
1 Remove the system board access
cover (see page 24).
2 Push open the latches on both
ends of the memory connector
you want to use.
3 Unpack the memory card.

Step 5: Attach cables
Your printer can be attached to a network or locally (directly to a
computer).
Network printing You can attach your printer to a network using standard network
cables.
A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard on the
network, internet network, and duplex network printers. Y ou can add a
Token-Ring or 10Base2 Ethernet port to any printer model by
installing an optional internal print server.
To attach the printer to a network:
1 Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.
2 Connect the printer to a LAN drop or hub using standard
cabling that is compatible with your network:
— Token-Ring, Ethernet 10BaseT, or Ethernet 100BaseTX
networks (Category 5) use an RJ-45 connector
Attach cables
35
Page 44
— Token-Ring networks (Shielded Twisted Pair) use a DB9
connector
— Ethernet 10Base2 networks (Thin Coax) use a
BNC T-connector
The printer automatically adjusts itself for the network speed.
36
Attach cables
Page 45
Local printing You can attach your printer locally using either a USB port or a
parallel port.
Note: All Windows operating
systems support parallel
connections. However, only the
Windows 98, Windows Me, and
Windows 2000 operating
systems support USB
connections. Some UNIX, Linux,
and Macintosh computer s also
support USB connections. Refer
to your computer documentation
to see if your system supports
USB.
• A USB port requires a USB printer cable.
• A parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable.
If you install an optional USB/Parallel Interface Card to the network,
internet network, or duplex network printer, you need a 1284 A-C
parallel cable, or a USB cable.
If you have installed an optional T ri-Port Adapter, you can locally
attach the printer with a serial cable. For details on LocalTalk or
infrared connections, refer to the documentation that shipped with the
Tri-Port Adapter.
To attach the printer to a computer:
1 Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached
devices are turned off and unplugged.
2 Connect the printer to the computer using a parallel or USB
cable.
— Use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable to ensure that
you can access all of your printer functions.
— Be sure to match the USB symbol on the cable to the USB
symbol on the printer.

the surface of the transfer belt or placing
items on it may damage it.
Your printer ships with four color-coded
photodevelopers which you must place
inside the top cover . Each
photodeveloper has its own color-coded
position inside the printer.
1 Lift and remove the four shipping
spacers from the transfer belt.
2 Remove any shipping tape and

The photodeveloper has a cover
over the green glass tube. Do not
touch the glass. Touching the

Your printer ships with four color-coded
starter toner cartridges. Starter toner
cartridges have a yield of up to 8,000
pages.
You must install the toner cartridges
inside the top cover of the printer. Each
cartridge has its own color-coded
position.
1 Remove one of the toner
cartridges from its packing
material.
You can install the cartridges in
any order. However, it may be
easier to install them from left to

If your network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically
assigned after you connect the network cable to the printer.

setup page you printed in “Printing a network setup page” on
page 69.
2 Go to “Verifying the IP settings” on page 71 and begin with

2 Ping the printer and verify that it responds. For example, at a
command prompt on a network computer type “ping” followed
by the new printer IP address:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
If the printer is active on the network, you will receive a reply.
If your printer has an optional ImageQuick firmware card installed, it

Network printing The following instructions explain how to install printer drivers on
printers attached to a network.
Windows In Windows network environments, your printer can be configured for
direct printing or for shared printing.
Supported network printer ports
• Microsoft IP port (Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000)
• Network port (Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT 4.0, and
Windows 2000)

Supported printer drivers
Note: Using the color laser
custom printer driver and a
network port provides enhanced
functionality, such as printer
status alerts.
• Windows system printer driver
• Color laser custom printer driver
System drivers are built into Windows operating systems. Custom
drivers are available on the drivers CD.
Supported printing methods
• Direct IP printing—when you just want to print directly to a
printer on your network
• Shared printing (point and print, peer-to-peer)—when you need
to centrally manage network printers
You can find detailed information about using each of these printing
methods on the drivers CD. Click View Documentation and look for
information about network printer installation.
Creating ports and installing drivers
Read the detailed instructions on the drivers CD. Click View
Documentation and look for information about network printer
installation for your specific Windows environment.
If you choose to install without using the instructions on the
drivers CD, you need a basic understanding of network printing on
TCP/IP networks, installing printer drivers, and the process involved
in creating new network ports.

becomes readily visible to other network clients.
You must create a printer object (icon) on the desktop of each
network client using the LaserWriter 8 printer driver and the printer’s
PPD file.
Specific information about installing the printer on your AppleTalk
network can be found in the online documentation on the drivers CD
