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.

Connecting the Printer
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 52.
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.

Connecting to a Wired Network
To connect the printer to a wired network:
1. Ensure that the printer is turned off.
2. Attach a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable from the printer to the network or router socket. Use an
Ethernet hub or router, and two or more Ethernet cables. Connect the computer to the hub or router
with one cable, then connect the printer to the hub or router with the second cable. Connect to any
port on the hub or router except the uplink port.
3. Attach the power cord, then plug in the printer and turn it on.
4. Set or automatically discover the network IP address of the printer. For details, see Assigning the IP
Address of the Printer on page 53.
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.
Resetting Wireless Settings
If the printer was previously installed in a wireless network environment, it could retain setup and
configuration information.
To prevent the printer from trying to connect to the previous network, perform the following steps:
1. On the printer control panel, press the System button.
2. To select Admin Menu, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
3. To select Wireless, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.

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 wireless 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:
1. Push the PBC button on the wireless router.
The router begins broadcasting setup information for 120 seconds.
2. On the printer control panel, press the System button.
3. To select Network, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
4. To select Wireless Setup, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
5. To select WPS, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
6. To select Push Button Control, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
7. To select Yes, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
The printer communicates with the router to resolve setup and configuration information. The counter
starts counting down from 100. When the printer has the correct information, it connects to the router
and restarts with the proper setup and configuration information.
To connect to a WPS wireless network using the PIN method:
1. On the printer control panel, press the System button.
2. To select Admin Menu, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
3. To select Network, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.

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.

Assigning the IP Address of the Printer
By default, the printer is set to acquire an IP address 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.
Assigning the IP Address Automatically

Installation and Setup
Assigning the IP Address Manually
You can assign a static IP address to your printer from the printer control panel. Once an IP address is
assigned, you can change it using CentreWare Internet Services.
To assign a static IP address to the printer, you need the following information:
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 network, refer to the
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. On the printer control panel, press the System button.
2. To select Admin Menu, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
3. To select Network, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
4. To select TCP/IP, press the Down Arrow button, then press OK.
5. To select IPv4, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.
6. At Get IP Address, press OK.
7. To select Panel, press the arrow buttons, then press OK to enable this option.
8. To return to the IPv4 menu, press Return once.
9. To select IP Address, press the arrow buttons, then press OK.

Supported Paper
Your printer is designed to use various paper and other media types. Follow the guidelines in this section
to ensure the best print quality and to avoid jams.
For best results, use Xerox® paper and media recommended for your printer.
Recommended Media
A list of paper and media recommended for your printer is available at:
www.xerox.com/paper Recommended Media List (United States)
www.xerox.com/europaper Recommended Media List (Europe)
Ordering Paper
To order paper, transparencies, or other media, contact your local reseller or go to
www.xerox.com/office/WC6015supplies.
General Paper Loading Guidelines
Do not overfill the paper trays. Do not load paper above the maximum fill line in the tray.
Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.
Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray.
If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package.
Use only recommended Xerox
Do not print on label media once a label has been removed from a sheet.
Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes 1-sided only.

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 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
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.

Printing Envelopes
You can print envelopes from either the main tray or the bypass tray. To print from either tray, select the
correct envelope size in the control panel Main Tray settings and in the print driver. Print driver settings
override control panel settings when you print using the print driver software on your computer.
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 the 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.
