Choosing a Connection Method
Choosing a Connection Method
Connect the printer via Ethernet, USB, or parallel. A USB or a parallel connection is a direct connection
and is not used for networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. Hardware and cabling
requirements vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally not included
with your printer and must be purchased separately. This section includes:
■Connecting via Ethernet and USB on page 4-44
■Connecting via Ethernet on page 4-44
■Connecting via USB on page 4-45
■Connecting via Parallel on page 4-46
Connecting via Ethernet and USB
You can connect your Phaser® 6180MFP printer through Ethernet, USB, or both at the same time. The
available features for each connection type are shown in the following table.
Connection TypeAvailable Features
USBWhen connected via USB you can:
■ Scan an image into an application.
■ Scan an image to a folder on the computer.
■ Use the Address Book Editor to manage address book entries.
EthernetWhen connected via Ethernet you can:
■ Scan to a computer on the network.
■ Scan to an FTP server.
■ Scan to email.
■ Use CentreWare IS to manage address book entries.
For information on each connection type, see Connecting via Ethernet on page 4-44 and Connecting via
USB on page 4-45.
Connecting via Ethernet
Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an Ethernet
network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB connection. It also
allows you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services (IS). The CentreWare IS web interface enables
you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop.
4-44
Choosing a Connection Method
Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for Ethernet.
■If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.
■If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, or cable or DSL router, two or
more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for each device.)
If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub with one
cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except
the uplink port.

Connecting via USB
If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. A USB connection is not
as fast as an Ethernet connection but is faster than using parallel. To use USB, PC users must have
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or newer operating system. Macintosh users must use
Mac OS X, version 10.2 and higher.
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your printer and
must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB cable for your connection (2.0 for
best results).
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

Choosing a Connection Method
Connecting via Parallel
A parallel cable connection can also be used for connecting to one computer. This type of connection
provides the slowest data speeds. Parallel connection requires a standard-to-high density parallel printer
cable, (36-pin high-density 1284-C [male] to 36-pin low density 1284-B [male] cable), with a maximum
length of three meters (10 feet). Connect the parallel cable to the printer and the computer while they are
both Off, and then turn them On. Install the printer driver from the Software and Documentation
CD-ROM, and select the appropriate LPT parallel port.

■TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 4-47
■Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 4-47
■Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 4-47
■Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 4-49
TCP/IP and IP Addresses
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP
addresses and additional configuration information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your computer
using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address.
PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. With TCP/IP
protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is important that the addresses are
similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. For example, your printer can have the
address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the
address 192.168.1.4.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to talk to a networked printer.
For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, Bonjour does not require printers or
computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is configured to use
DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your
router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.
Automatically Setting the Printer’sIP Address
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use the installer
on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM to detect or assign an IP address to your printer. For further
instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. After
the Xerox Installer launches, follow the prompts for installation.
Note: For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established TCP/IP
network.
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address
There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:
■DHCP (enabled by default)
■AutoIP
4-47
Configuring the Network Address
You can turn on/off both protocols using the control panel, or use CentreWare IS to turn on/off DHCP.
Note: You can print a report that includes the printer’s IP address. On the control panel, press the System
button, select
OK
button. The IP address is listed on the Configuration report.

Configuring the Network Address
Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address
Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network. Contact your
network administrator for more information.
If you are on a network without a DHCP server, or in an environment where the network administrator
assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP address. Manually setting the
IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are in a small office with a single PC and use
a dialup modem connection, you can manually set the IP address.

Paper Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print quality.
■Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to damage from
ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is
particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper
items should be reduced as much as possible.
■Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than outside
walls where moisture can collect.
■Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
■Avoid having 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 paper in
the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner
lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
■Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the bag and reseal
it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags.

■Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness which can affect
print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during
printing.
■Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
■Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of the envelopes.
■If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made specifically for
laser printers.
Note: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.

Defining Custom Paper Sizes
Before printing, set the custom size on the print driver.

When configuring the Custom Paper Size dialog box in Windows 2000 or later, settings of other printers
on the computer will also be affected as the form data base of the computer is used by a local printer. For a

edge cannot be longer than the long edge, even if it is within the specified range. The length of the long
edge cannot be shorter than the short edge, even if it is within the specified range.
7. To assign a paper name, select the Name Paper Size check box, and then enter the name in Paper
Name. Up to 14 characters can be used for the paper name.
