PHASER® 6200 COLOR PRINTER
Connection Setup
USB Connection
The USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. The "A" end of the cable connects to the computer's USB port;
the "B" end connects to the printer's USB port.
Windows 98 or later
Connect the USB cable to the PC and follow the Add New Hardware Wizard to create the USB port. Follow the Add
Printer Wizard to install the printer driver from your printer's software CD-ROM. For more details, refer to the infoSMART
Knowledge Base at www.xerox.com/officeprinting/infoSMART, Document # 18215.
Macintosh (requires OS 9.0.4 or later)
A USB-connected printer will not show in the Chooser. Install the printer driver from your printer's software CD-ROM. Use
the Desktop Printer Utility (version 1.2 or later) to create a desktop USB printer. The utility is located in the PhaserTools
folder created during the software install. For more details, refer to the infoSMART Knowledge Base at
www.xerox.com/officeprinting/infoSMART, Document # 33225.
Parallel Connection
The printer's parallel connection uses a parallel cable to connect your computer's parallel port to the printer's parallel port.
Install the printer driver from your printer's software CD-ROM. Select the appropriate LPT parallel port.
Ethernet Connection (recommended)
Network
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 and connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Use any port on the hub except the
uplink port. TCP/IP and EtherTalk are the most common protocols used with Ethernet cables. To print using TCP/IP, each
computer and the printer requires a unique IP address. See Setting IP Addresses.
Standalone Use
Use a crossover cable to connect the printer directly to the computer via the Ethernet port.
Setting an IP address
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses and
additional configurations.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network, or connecting the printer directly to your computer over Ethernet,
use this basic procedure. The printer and computer(s) should have unique IP addresses. It is important that the addresses
are similar, but not the same. 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, and so on.
For more details, refer to the infoSMART Knowledge Base at www.xerox.com/officeprinting/infoSMART,
Document # 18545.

Moving Guide
Follow these guidelines to move the printer within the office or to prepare the printer for shipment.
Precautions regarding moving the printer
WARNING: Follow these guidelines to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the printer.
• Always use at least two people to lift the printer.
• Always turn off the printer using the power switch.
• Failure to repackage the printer properly for shipment can result in damage
to the printer not covered by the printer's warranty.
• Damage to the printer caused by improper moving is not covered by the printer's warranty.
Moving the printer within the office
The printer can be safely moved from one location within an office to another as long as it travels in an upright position,
gently over smooth surfaces. Any jarring movement, such as pushing the printer over a raised door threshold or across a
parking lot, can damage the printer.
Preparing the printer for shipment
To transport the printer by vehicle, the printer must be prepared according to a specific procedure. The printer must be
repackaged in an appropriate shipping carton. The Imaging Unit* and Transfer Roller need to be removed and stored in an
upright position. All Toner Cartridges must be locked in a normal operating position.
If you do not have all of the original packaging, order the repackaging kit from www.xerox.com/officeprinting/6200supplies
or contact your local Xerox service representative. Additional instructions for repackaging the printer are provided in the
repackaging kit and on the documentation CD-ROM. If you are unable to repackage the printer, contact your local Xerox
service representative regarding our repacking services.
*Note: Do not leave the Imaging Unit exposed to light for more than 10 minutes as damage could result. Use the dark bag
that came with the Imaging Unit or dark paper as a cover.
