Network Printing with Xerox Phaser
Printers
This guide provides information to help you quickly install your printer when you have
one of the following operating systems:
■
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98se, and Windows Me
■
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
■
Mac OS 7.5 or higher
With the following protocols:
■
TCP/IP
■
Novell NetWare
■
EtherTalk or AppleTalk
Set up your printer and connect it to the network. For information about setting up the
printer, refer to the Installation poster. For information about connecting the printer to the
network, see page 3.
To speed the setup process and avoid conflicts, familiarize yourself with the components
of your network. You should know which version(s) of NetWare are installed, which
versions of the client software are used, and the network topology (frame types, routers,
hubs, and cabling).

Network Printing with Xerox Phaser Printers
Configuration Sheet
The information supplied on the Configuration Sheet is helpful when you are installing
and configuring the printer on a network. It consists of three pages. You can print the
Configuration Sheet:
■
From the Control Panel
■
Using the Phaser 3400 web server
Printing a Configuration Sheet from the control panel
You can use this method even if your printer is not yet configured on the network.
1. Make sure the printer has been turned on.
2. Hold down the Print button until all lights blink.
3. Release the button.
The printer prints the Configuration Sheet.
Printing a Configuration Sheet using the Phaser 3400 web server
With a TCP/IP connection, you can view and change printer options by accessing internal
web pages in your printer. To print the Configuration Sheet:
1. Open the Internet Explorer web browser (version 4.0 or higher).
2. For the Address, type http://, then the IP address of the Phaser 3400 printer, then
press the Enter key. For example, if the IP address is 192.25.26.81, type:
http://192.25.26.81
3. On the main page, click the Print button.
The printer prints the Configuration Sheet.
For more information on the Phaser 3400 web server, see page 14.
Networking software
The Phaser 3400 printer CD-ROM contains software for installing the printer on a network.
The CD-ROM also contains online documentation, printer drivers, and other printer
software. A single integrated installer is used to install printer drivers and other software.
For information on using the installer, see page 4.

Connecting Your Printer to a Network
Connecting Your Printer to a Network
Setting up an Ethernet connection to a Macintosh or PC
Requirements
■
Two RJ-45, twisted-pair, Ethernet 10BaseT or 100BaseT cables
■
An Ethernet hub
The Phaser 3400 printer's Ethernet interface conforms to IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet II
standards. Use twisted pair (10BaseT or 100BaseT) connections. Thick coax (10Base5) and
thin coax (10Base2) connections require adapters; contact your dealer to obtain adapters,
cables, and terminators.
Caution
To avoid damaging the Ethernet interface, turn off the printer before making any
Ethernet connections.
Procedure
1. If the printer is on, turn it off.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the printer.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the hub. (Do not connect the cable to a port on
the hub labeled Uplink).
4. Turn on the printer.
5. Refer to the configuration instructions for your environment.
