Installation and Setup

Installation and Setup Overview

Before you print, ensure that your computer and the printer are plugged in, turned on, and connected. Configure the initial settings of the printer, then install the print driver software and utilities on your computer.

You can connect to your printer directly from your computer using USB, or connect over a network using an Ethernet cable or wireless connection. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Xerox recommends an Ethernet connection because it is typically faster than a USB connection, and it provides access to the Embedded Web Server.

Note: If the Software and Documentation disc is not available, you can download the latest print

drivers from www.xerox.com/office/WC6515drivers.

Selecting a Connection Method

You can connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable, Ethernet cable, or wireless connection. The method that you select depends on how your computer is connected to the network. A USB connection is a direct connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet connection is used to connect to a network. If you are using a network connection, it is important to understand how your computer is connected to the network. For details, refer to About TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 54.

Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers,

network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately.

• Network: If your computer is connected to an office network or home network, use an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network. You cannot connect the printer directly to the computer. The printer must be connected through a router or network switch. An Ethernet network can be used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. Ethernet connection is typically faster than USB and allows you direct access to the settings of the printer using the Embedded Web Server.

• Wireless Network: If your environment includes a wireless router or wireless access point, you can connect the printer to the network with a wireless connection. A wireless network connection provides the same access and services as a wired connection. A wireless network connection is typically faster than USB and allows direct access to the setting of the printer using the Embedded Web Server.

• USB: If you connect the printer directly to a single computer and not to a network, use a USB connection. A USB connection offers fast data speeds, but typically is not as fast as an Ethernet connection.

Note: To access the Embedded Web Server, a network connection is required.

• Telephone: To send and receive faxes, ensure that the printer is connected to a dedicated telephone line.

Connecting to a Network with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network standard for setting up a wireless network. The WPS protocols enable you to set up devices in a secure wireless network without having wireless networking experience. With a WPS-certified router, you can use tools in the router and the printer to connect the printer to the network. To use the tools, ensure that the wireless router is configured properly and is compliant with the WPS.

• Push Button Connection (PBC) is the easiest way to connect the printer to a wireless network. It automatically connects when you push a button on the router and on the printer. After the router and printer exchange information, the printer accepts the security and configuration information from the router and connects to the network. The PBC is a moderately secure way to connect the printer to the network. You do not need to enter any information to make the network connection.

• PIN (Personal Identification Number) automatically connects the printer to a wireless router using a common PIN. The printer generates and prints a PIN for use in the setup process. When you enter the PIN into the router, the router broadcasts network information using the PIN. When both devices recognize the PIN, the router provides the security and configuration information to the printer, which uses it to connect to the network.

To connect to a WPS wireless network using the PBC method:

Note: Before you install the device, ensure that the wireless router is configured properly and is

connected to the network.

1. At the printer control panel, press the Home button.

2. Touch Device > Connectivity > Wi-Fi.

3. If Wi-Fi is Off, turn it on.

a. To toggle Wi-Fi from Off to On, touch the Wi-Fi toggle button. b. To activate your Wi-Fi setting changes, press the Home button. c. At the prompt, touch Restart Now.

d. After the printer restarts, touch Device > Connectivity > Wi-Fi.

5. Touch Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).

Note: If Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is not visible, at the top of the screen, touch Manual Setup.

6. Touch PBC.

7. Touch OK.

8. On the wireless router, press the WPS button. The router broadcasts setup information for 120 seconds.

Note: If the wireless router does not have a physical PBC button, use your computer to select the

virtual button in the router control panel. For details, refer to your router documentation.

9. To activate your Wi-Fi setting changes, restart the printer.

a. Press the Home button. b. At the prompt, touch Restart Now.

10. After the printer restarts, wait two minutes, then to get the network information that includes the IP address, print a Configuration Report. For details, refer to Printing the Configuration Report on page 32.

• About TCP/IP and IP Addresses .................................................................................................................................. 54

About TCP/IP and IP Addresses

Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to communicate with a network printer. For Macintosh OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, Bonjour does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.

With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. Many networks and cable and DSL routers have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to every computer and printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP.

If you use a Cable or DSL router, refer to the documentation for your router for information on IP addressing.

Assigning the Printer IP Address

By default, the printer is configured to acquire an IP address from the network server using DHCP. Network addresses assigned by DHCP are temporary, however. After a specified time, the network can assign a new IP address to the printer. If the print driver is configured to use a specific IP address that changes periodically, you can experience connectivity issues. To avoid problems, or if your network administrator requires a static IP address for the printer, you can assign the IP address to the printer.

You can view the IP address of your printer on the control panel or on the Configuration Report. For details, refer to Finding the IP Address of Your Printer on page 33.

Your printer is designed to use various paper and other media types. To ensure the best print quality and to avoid jams, follow the guidelines in this section.

For best results, use Xerox paper and media recommended for your printer.

Recommended Media

A list of paper and media recommended for your printer is available at:

• www.xerox.com/rmlna Recommended Media List (United States).

• www.xerox.com/rmleu Recommended Media List (Europe).

Ordering Paper

To order paper or other media, contact your local reseller or visit www.xerox.com/office/WC6515supplies.

General Paper Loading Guidelines

• Do not overfill the paper trays. Do not load paper above the maximum fill line in the tray.

• Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.

• Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray.

• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package.

• Do not print on label media once a label has been removed from a sheet.

• Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes 1-sided only.

Paper and Media

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer

Some paper and other media types can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage your printer. Do not use the following:

• Rough or porous paper

• Inkjet paper

• Non-laser glossy or coated paper

• Paper that has been photocopied

• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled

• Paper with cutouts or perforations

• Stapled paper

• Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips

• Padded envelopes

• Plastic media

• Transparencies

CAUTION: The Xerox Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee does

not cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or specialty media. The Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside these areas. Please contact your local representative for details.

Paper Storage Guidelines

Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.

• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper.

• Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.

• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect

moisture.

• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

• Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.

• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave

stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

• Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.
