Network Guide iii

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 Guide 1

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

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.
