Setting Up the Network

This section includes:

■ Choosing a Connection Method on page 2-3

■ Configuring the Network Address on page 2-5

■ Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended) on page 2-4

Choosing a Connection Method

Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A USB connection is a direct connection and 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.

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 Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. Macintosh users must use Mac OS 9.x 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 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.

Setting Up the Network

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 (IS). CentreWare IS provides a simple interface that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop using an embedded web server. For complete information about CentreWare IS, click the Help button in CentreWare IS to go to the CentreWare IS Online Help.

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 a hub, an Ethernet hub and two

twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required.

■ If you are connecting to one or more computers using a cable or DSL router, a cable or

DSL router and 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.

TCP/IP and EtherTalk are the most common protocols used with Ethernet. To print using a TCP/IP protocol, each computer and printer requires a unique IP address.

Configuring the Network Address

This section includes:

■ TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 2-5

■ Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address (Windows) on page 2-5

■ Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-6

■ Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-8

TCP/IP and IP Addresses

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.

Knowledge Base at www.xerox.com/office/7760support

Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address (Windows)

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 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.

Paper Usage Guidelines

The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other specialty media. Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:

■ Envelopes, labels, and extra thick card stock can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.

■ Transparencies and custom size paper can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) and Tray 2.

■ Fan paper, transparencies, or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.

■ Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives

with release strips.

■ All envelopes should be printed single-sided only.

■ Do not load paper above the fill line on the inside of the paper guide.

■ Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.

■ If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

Supported Paper and Media

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer

Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.

Unacceptable media includes:

■ Rough or porous media, such as inkjet paper

■ Plastic media

■ Paper that has been folded or wrinkled

■ Paper that has been photocopied

■ Paper with staples

■ Carbonless paper

■ Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with release strips

■ Padded envelopes

■ Non-laser glossy paper

■ Transparencies other than the Xerox Digital Color Clear Transparencies

■ Label stock that has one or more labels removed from a sheet

■ Media that is less than 75 g/m

■ Embossed, coated, or pre-printed paper with heat tolerances below 210° C (322° F)

■ Media that melts, offsets, or discolors at temperatures less than 210° C (322° F) for

0.2 seconds.

(20 lb. Bond) or more than 255 g/m2 (90 lb. Cover)

Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum

print quality.

■ Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to

damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.

■ Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

■ Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than

outside walls where moisture can collect.

■ Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

■ Avoid having 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 paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

■ Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the

bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags.

Printing Envelopes

Envelopes can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.

See also:

Paper Sizes and Weights for Tray 1 (MPT) on page 3-6

Guidelines

■ Use only paper envelopes specified in the Supported Paper Sizes and Weights table.

Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser 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.

■ Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of

the envelopes.

■ If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made

specifically for laser printers.

Caution: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.

Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please contact your local representative for details.
