Installation and Setup
Installation and Setup Overview
Before printing, your computer and the printer must be plugged in, turned on, and connected. Configure
the initial settings of the printer, then install the driver software and utilities on your computer.
You can connect to your printer directly from your computer using USB, or connect over a network using
an Ethernet cable or wireless connection. 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. Xerox recommends an Ethernet
connection because it is typically faster than a USB connection, and it provides access to CentreWare
Internet Services.
Note: If the Software and Documentation disc is not available, you can download the latest drivers
from www.xerox.com/office/WC3615drivers.

Installation and Setup
Selecting a Location for the Printer
1. Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10–32°C (50–90°F), and relative humidity 15–85%.
Note: Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid heating of a cold room can
cause condensation inside the printer, directly interfering with image transfer.
2. Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength for the weight of the
printer. The printer must be horizontal with all four feet in solid contact with the surface. To find the
weight for your printer configuration, see Physical Specifications on page 188.
After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source and computer or network.

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 40.
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 allows 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.
•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.
•Telephone: To send and receive faxes, the multifunction printer must be connected to a dedicated
telephone line.

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 systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/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.

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer
Some paper and other media types can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage
your printer. Do not use the following:
• Rough or porous paper
• Inkjet paper
• Non-laser glossy or coated paper
• Paper that has been photocopied
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with cutouts or perforations
• Stapled paper
• Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips
• Padded envelopes
• Plastic media
CAUTION: The Xerox Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee does not
cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or specialty media. The Xerox Total Satisfaction
Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside these areas.
Please contact your local representative for details.
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 from 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.
• Use only paper envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.

• Print only on one side of the sheet of labels. Use full sheet labels only.
• Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the original
packaging until ready to use. Return any unused sheets of labels to the original packaging and
reseal it.
•Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold conditions. Storing
them in extreme conditions can cause print-quality problems or cause them to jam in the printer.
•Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels to curl and
jam in the printer.
• In the print driver software, select Label as the paper type.
• Remove all other paper from the tray before loading labels.
CAUTION: Do not use any sheet where labels are missing, curled, or pulled away from the backing
sheet. It could damage the printer.

Printing Multiple Pages to a Single Sheet
When printing a multiple-page document, you can print more than one page on a single sheet of paper.
Print 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per side by selecting Pages Per Sheet on the Page Layout tab. Page Layout
is on the Document Options tab.
Printing Booklets
With 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small booklet. Create booklets from any
paper size that is supported for 2-sided printing. The driver automatically reduces each page image and
prints four page images per sheet of paper, two page images on each side. The pages are printed in the
correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create the booklet.
When you print booklets using the Windows PostScript or Macintosh driver, you can specify the gutter
and creep.
•Gutter specifies the horizontal distance in points between the page images. A point is 0.35 mm
(1/72 in.).
•Creep specifies how much the page images are shifted outward, in tenths of a point. Shifting
compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which would cause the page images to shift
slightly outward when folded. You can select a value from zero to 1 point.
