Network: A system of linked devices that share resources, such as Internet access and printers, connected through a common wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (supported by Ethernet cords) network router.
Wi-Fi Direct: This is a feature on your printer/MFP that when enabled, emits a wireless signal that Wi-Fi capable devices (e.g. phones, computers) can directly connect to for printing. You can connect your device to the printer’s wireless signal just like you would connect to an Internet router’s Wi-Fi signal.
Computer’s Operating System (OS): This is the software version that your computer is running. Your operating system determines which print drivers and Xerox applications you will use for printing and scanning.
Utility, or Utility Pack: This is a set of files, software and tools that must be downloaded to your computer to setup your printer. After being downloaded, the files may need to be installed manually on your PC, or will be automatically installed with the help of an imbedded “wizard” or executable file. The package contents vary based on your PC’s OS, but they generally contain drivers for printing, scanning and faxing as well as Wi-Fi setup assistant. They may contain applications that allow you to fax, scan, or access your printer’s advanced settings from your desktop.
CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS): This is your printer’s web interface where you can manage advanced settings. You access it by entering your printer’s IP address in your web browser. Your printer must be on the network or have
Wi-Fi direct enabled in order to access CWIS.

How do you want to connect the printer to the Windows computer?
Through the network via Wi-Fi
This method wirelessly connects your printer to your home office network. Any computer or device that is also on the network can print to it. You must have a wireless router and a good WiFi signal.
You can also enable Wi-Fi direct to print from devices that are not on the network. The networked printer can be configured to emit a signal that devices can directly connect to.
Through the network with an 
Ethernet cord
This method connects your printer to your network using a cable. Any computer or device that is also on the network can print to it. The Ethernet cord is not provided.
If you do not have a wireless network router, you can use Wi-Fi direct to print from devices that are not on the network. The networked printer can be configured to emit a signal that devices can directly connect to.
Directly with a USB cord
This method directly connects your printer to your computer using a USB cord. Your printer must be located within the cord’s reach of the computer. The USB cord was shipped with your printer.
This method is not recommended if you plan to print from mobile devices.
