Selecting a Connection Method
The printer can be connected to your computer using a USB cable or an Ethernet cable. The method
you select depends on how your computer is connected to the network. A USB connection is a direct
connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. If you are
using a network connection, it is important to understand how your computer is connected to the
network. For details, see About TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 43.
Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers,
network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included with
your printer and must be purchased separately.
•Network: If your computer is connected to an office network or home network, use an Ethernet
cable to connect the printer to the network. You cannot connect the printer directly to the
computer. It must be connected through a router or hub. An Ethernet network can be used for
one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. Ethernet
connection is typically faster than USB and all ows you direct access to the settings of the printer
using CentreWare Internet Services.
•Wireless Network: If your computer includes a wireless router or wireless access point, you
can connect the printer to the network with a wireless connection. A wireless network
connection provides the same access and services as a wired connection provides. A wireless
network connection is typically faster than USB and allows direct access to the setting of the
printer using CentreWare Internet Services. The optional wireless network adapter plugs in to
the back of the control board. After the adapter has been installed, and wireless networking has
been enabled and configured, the adapter can connect to a wireless network.
•USB: If you connect the printer to one computer and do not have a network, use a USB
connection. A USB connection offers fast data speeds, but typically not as fast as an Ethernet
connection. In addition, a USB connection does not provide access to CentreWare Internet
Services.
Connecting to a Computer Using USB
To use USB, you must have Windows XP SP1 and later, Windows Server 2003 and later, or
Macintosh OS X version 10.5 and later.

4. Set or automatically discover the network IP address of the printer.
For details, see Assigning the IP address of the printer on page 44.
Connecting to a Wireless Network
A wireless local area network (LAN) provides the means to connect two or more devices in a LAN
without a physical connection. The printer can connect to a wireless LAN that includes a wireless
router or wireless access point. Before connecting the printer to a wireless network, the wireless
router must be configured with a service set identifier (SSID), a passphrase, and security protocols.
Note: Wireless networking is available only on printers with the optional Wireless Network
Adapter installed.
Installing the Wireless Network Adapter
The optional wireless network adapter plugs in to the back of the control board. After the adapter has
been installed, and wireless networking has been enabled and configured, the adapter can connect

Installation and Setup
Connecting to a Network with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network standard for setting up a wireless network. The WPS
protocols allow you with no wireless network experience to set up devices in a secure wireless
network. With a WPS-certified router, you can use tools in the router and the printer to connect the
printer to the network. In order to use the tools, the wireless router must be configured properly and
must be compliant with the WPS.
•Push Button Connection (PBC) is the easiest way to connect the printer to a wi reless network. It
automatically connects when you push a button on the router and on the printer. After the router
and printer exchange information, the printer accepts the security and configuration information
from the router and connects to the network. The PBC is a moderately secure way to connect
the printer to the network. You do not need to enter any information to make the network
connection.
•PIN (Personal Identification Number) automatically connects the printer to wireless router by
using a common PIN. The printer generates and prints a PIN for use in the setup process. When
you enter the PIN into the router, the router broadcasts network information using the PIN.
When both devices recognize the PIN, the router provides the security and configuration
information to the printer, which uses it to connect to the network.
To connect to a WPS wireless network using the PBC method:
Note: The w ireless router must be connected and properly configured for the network before y ou
install the printer.
1. On the wireless router, push the PBC button.
The router broadcasts setup information for 120 seconds.
Note: If the wireless router does not have a physical PBC button, use your computer to select
the virtual button in the router control panel. For details, see your router documentation.
2. At the printer control panel, press the Menu button.
Note: To navigate through the menu, use the Up or Down arrow buttons.
3. Navigate to Admin Settings, then press OK.
4. Navigate to Network Setup, then press OK.
5. Navigate to WPS Setup, then press OK.
6. Navigate to Push Button Control, then press OK.
7. Navigate to PBC Start, then press OK.
8. After the printer restarts, wait 20 seconds, then print a Configuration Report to get network
information including the IP address.

About TCP/IP and IP Addresses
Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to communicate with a
network printer. For Macintosh OS X syste ms, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike T CP/IP, however, Bonjour
does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. Many networks
and cable and DSL routers have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP
server automatically assigns an IP address to every computer and printer on the network that is
configured to use DHCP.
If you use a Cable or DSL router, see the documentation for your router for information on IP
addressing.

By default, the printer is set to acquire an IP add r ess from the network server using DHCP. Network
addresses assigned by DHCP are temporary, however. After a specified time, the network could
assign a new IP address to the printer. If the print driver is set to an IP address that changes
periodically, you can experience connectivity issues. To avoid problems, or if your network
administrator requires a static IP address for the printer, you can assign the IP address to the printer.
Note: You can view the IP address of your printer on the control panel or on the Configuration
Report. For details, see Printing the Configuration Report on page 46.

Assigning the IP Address Manually
You can assign a static IP address to y our printer fro m the printer con trol panel. Once an IP addres s

User Guide
Installation and Setup
Online Support Assistant at: www.xerox.com/office/6600support
• An IP address properly configured for your network
• The Network Mask address
• The default Router/Gateway address
If you are on a network managed by a network administrator, contact your network administrator to
obtain the network information.
For a home network using routers or other devices to connect the printer to the netw or k, refer to th e
device instructions on assigning network addresses. The router or device documentation can give
you a range of acceptable address numbers you can use. It is important that the addresses be
similar to the IP addresses used by other printers and computers on the network, but not the same.
Only the last digit must be different. For example, your printer can have the IPv4 address
192.168.1.2 while your computer has the IP address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the IP
address 192.168.1.4.
The router could assign the static IP address of the printer to another computer that obtains its IP
address dynamically. To avoid having the IP address reassigned, give the printer an address at the
higher end of the range allowed by the router or device. For example, if your computer has IP
address 192.168.1.2, and your device allows IP addresses to 192.168.1.25, select an address
between 192.168.1.20 and 192.168.1.25.
In IPv6 network configurations, the IPv6 address is assigned automatically.
To assign a static IP address to the printer:
1. At the printer control panel, press the Menu button.
Note: To navigate through the menu, use the Up or Down arrow buttons.
2. Navigate to Admin Settings, then press OK.
3. Navigate to Network Setup, then press OK.
4. Navigate to TCP/IP, then press OK.

7. Set the IP address, then press OK.
The printer control panel displays a reminder that the printer must be turned off and then
restarted before the changed setting is applied. You can restart the printer after all the settings
have been modified.

About Security Certificates
A digital certificate is a file that contains data used to verify the identity of the client or server in a
network transaction. A certificate also contains a public key used to create and verify digital
signatures. One device proves its identity to another by presenting a certificate trusted by the other
device. Or, the device can present a certificate signed by a trusted third party and a digital signature
proving its ownership of the certificate.
A digital certificate includes the following data:
• Information about the owner of the certificate
• The certificate serial number and expiration date
• The name and digital signature of the certificate authority (CA) that issued the certificate
• A public key
• A purpose defining how the certificate and public key can be used
There are three types of certificates:
•Device Certificate: A certificate for which the printer has a private key, and the purpose
specified in the certificate allows it to be used to prove identity.
• CA Certificate: A certificate with authority to sign other certificates.
• Trusted Certificate: A self-signed certificate from another device that you want to trust.
To ensure that the printer can communicate with other devices over a secure trusted connection,
both devices must have certain certificates installed.
For protocols such as HTTPS, the printer is the server, and must prove its identity to the client Web
browser. For protocols such as 802.1X, the printer is the client, and must prove its identity to the
authentication server, typically a RADIUS server.
66 Phaser 6600 Color Printer
User Guide
Installation and Setup
•Install a device certificate on the printer.
Note: To enable HTTPS, create a self-signed Certificate from the SSL page in CentreWare
Internet Services.
•Install a copy of the CA certificate that was used to sign the device certificate of the printer on the
other device.
Protocols such as LDAP and IPsec require both devices to prove their identity to each other.

Using Smart eSolutions
Smart eSolutions is a suite of features that simplifies printer ownership and administration. It
provides free services to enable administration of metered billing and supplies replenishment plans
for printers on a network. For details, see www.xerox.com/smartesolutions.
MeterAssistant automatically counts all metered impressions printed on network printers, then
submits them to Xerox. This process eliminates the need to collect and report meter read information
manually.
SuppliesAssistant monitors the remaining life of the toner or ink, and other printer consumables.
When Smart eSolutions is configured to communicate with Xerox, SuppliesAssistant also monitors
the usage of consumables. The data reported to Xerox is used to replenish supplies.
Overview for Setting Up Smart eSolutions
This is an overview of the steps required to set up the Smart eSolutions feature:
1. Enabling the Proxy Server.
2. Validating the DNS settings and enabling SSL.
3. Registering the printer with the Xerox Communication Server.

Paper Storage Guidelines
Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.
•Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from
ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly
damaging to paper.
• Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to
collect moisture.
• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid 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
stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper fro m moisture loss
or gain.
•Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag
until you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Envelopes
You can print envelopes from the Bypass Tray only.
Guidelines for Printing Envelopes
•Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope
brand if you do not get desired results.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid excess moisture and dryness which can
affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal
before or during printing.
•Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy
book on top of them.
• In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
• Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
• Do not use envelopes with heat activated glue.
• Do not use envelopes with press and seal flaps.
