Electrical Safety

Warning: Do not push objects (including paper clips or staples) into slots or openings on the

printer. Making contact with a voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical

shock.

Warning: Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are

installing optional equipment and are specifically instructed to do so. Power should be OFF when

performing these installations. Disconnect the power cord when removing covers and guards for

installing optional equipment. Except for user-installable options, there are no parts that you can

maintain or service behind these covers.

The following are hazards to your safety:

• The power cord is damaged or frayed.

• Liquid is spilled into the printer.

• The printer is exposed to water.

Network Basics

Choosing a Connection Method

Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A USB connection is a direct connection and is not used for networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. This section includes:

• Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended) on page 27

• Connecting via USB on page 28

Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended)

Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB connection. It also allows you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services, which enables you to manage, configure, and monitor network printers from your computer.

Network Connection

Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for Ethernet.

• If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.

• If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, or cable or DSL router, two

or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for each device.)

If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port.

Network Basics

Connecting via USB

If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. However, a USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or newer. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.3 and higher.

USB Connection

A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB (1.x or 2.0) cable for your connection.

1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.

2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate 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 using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address.

PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. 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.

Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the EtherTalk protocol to talk to a networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, EtherTalk does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.

Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.

Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address

If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use the installer on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM to detect or assign an IP address to your printer. For further instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. After the Xerox Installer launches, follow the prompts for installation.

Note: For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established

TCP/IP network.

Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address

There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:

• DHCP (enabled by default on all Phaser printers)

•AutoIP

You can turn on/off both protocols using the control panel, or use CentreWare IS to turn on/off DHCP.

Note: You can view the printer’s IP address at any time. On the control panel, select Information,

press the OK button, select Printer Identification, then press the OK button.

Using the Control Panel

To turn on/off either the DHCP or AutoIP protocol:

1. On the control panel, select Printer Setup > Connection Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IPv4

Setup, then press the OK button.

2. Select DHCP/BOOTP or AutoIP.

3. Press the OK button to turn the selection On or Off.

Using CentreWare IS

To turn on/off the DHCP protocol:

1. Launch your Web browser.

2. Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.

3. Select Properties.

4. Select the Protocols folder on the left navigation panel.

5. Select TCP/IP.

6. Click the TCP/IP (v4) button.

7. In the BOOTP/DHCP Settings section, set the BOOTP/DHCP option to On or Off.

8. In the TCP/IP Settings section, enter the static IP address which may be different than the DHCP or

auto IP address listed. Check that the Network Mask and Router/Gateway address are correct for

your network.

9. Click the Save Changes button.
