Guidelines
Buying and Storing Envelopes
■Use only paper envelopes specified in "Supported Papers" on page 1-9. Successful
envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes.
Use envelopes made specifically for la ser printers.
■It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■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.
■You may remove ai r “b ubbles ” from the e nvelope s be fore l oadin g by set ting a heavy bo ok

■Do not use vinyl labels.
■Veri fy that the label s’ adhesive mater ial can tolera te fusing tempe rature of 200° C (392° F)
for 0.1 second.
■Do not use any sheets where labels are missing; it may damage printer components.
■Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the labels inside the original
packaging until ready to use. Return any unused la bels to the origi nal packaging and reseal
it for protection.
■Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold
conditions. Storing them in extreme condit io ns may c ause print quality problems or cau se
them to jam in the printer.
■Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause the
labels to curl and jam the p rinter.
■Print only on one side of the sheet of labels.

Choosing a Connection
Connections and Networks
Choosing a Connection
Network Connection
Use an Ethernet connection with two twisted-pair (Category 5/RJ-45) cables and an Ethernet
hub. Connect the computer to the hub with one cable, then connect the printer to the hub with
the second cable . Connec t to an y port on t he hub except the uplin k p ort. TCP/ IP an d Ethe rTalk
are the most common protocols used with Ethernet cables. To print using TCP/IP, each
computer and printer requires a unique IP address. See “Setting an IP Address.”
Direct Connection
Connect your printer directly to a computer using the USB cable provided or an IEEE 1284
parallel cable. For more information see the Setup Gui de t hat came wit h your pri nt er. You can
also view it on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM or on the web at
office/3425support.
www.xerox.com/
Standalone (Cable or DSL) Network Connection
For details on setting up a Cable or DSL connection for your printer, see the infoSMART
Knowledge Base at
TCP/IP Tutorial and Home Networking Guidelines.
If your computer is on a lar ge networ k, contact your networ k adminis trator f or th e appropria te
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 over Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s IP
address.
The printer and computer(s) must have unique IP addresses. It is important that the addresses
are similar , but not the same. For exa mple, 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.
