Overview of Network Setup and Configuration
Overview of Network Setup and Configuration
To set up and configure the network:
1.Connect the printer to the network using the recommended hardware and cables.
2.Turn on the printer and the computer.
3.Print the Configuration page and keep it for referencing network settings.
4.Configure the printer’s TCP/IP address, which is required to identify the printer on the network.
■Windows operating systems: Run the Installer on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM to automatically set the printer’s IP address if the printer is connected to an established TCP/IP network. You can also manually set the printer’s IP address on the control panel.
■Macintosh systems: Manually set the printer’s TCP/IP address on the control panel.
5.Install the driver software on the computer from the Software and Documentation CD-ROM. For information on driver installation, see the section in this chapter for the specific operating system you are using.
Note: If the Software and Documentation CD-ROM is not available, you can download the latest driver from www.xerox.com/drivers.

Choosing a Connection Method
Choosing a Connection Method
Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A USB connection is a direct connection from the printer to your computer 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 2-3
■Connecting via USB on page 2-4
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). The CentreWare IS web interface enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop.
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, 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.

Choosing a Connection Method
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 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or newer operating system. 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 (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.

■Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-7
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.

Configuring the Network Address
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 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 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, and 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, and then press the OK button.
2.Select Connection Setup, and then press the OK button.
3.Select Network Setup, and then press the OK button.
4.Select TCP/IP Setup, and then press the OK button.
5.Select DHCP/BOOTP or AutoIP.
6.Press the OK button to run 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 (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
3.Select Properties.
4.Select the Protocols folder on the left navigation panel.
5.Select TCP/IP.
6.In the BOOTP/DHCP Settings section, set the BOOTP/DHCP option to On or Off.
7.Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

Configuring the Network Address
Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address
Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network. Contact your network administrator for more information.
If you are on a network without a DNS server, or in an environment where the network administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can manually set the IP address.
