Installation and Setup

Selecting a Location for the Printer

1. Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10° through 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. The printer weight, without the options or paper, is 25 Kg (55.1 lb.). With the 250-sheet feeder, the duplex unit, and supplies, the weight is 34.5 Kg (76.1 lb.).

3. Ensure that your printer has the proper amount of clearance for all of its features, including any options you purchased. See the following measurements.

The recommended minimal spacing for the printer includes the following:

Requirement Clearance

Overhead Clearance 275 mm (12.5 in.) above the printer for clearance when opening the

document feeder

Height Requirement • Printer: 549.3 mm (25.4 in.)

• Printer with 250-sheet feeder: 657.3 mm (25.9 in.)

Other Clearances • 100 mm (3.9 in.) behind the printer

• 600 mm (23.6 in.) in front of the printer

• 100 mm (3.9 in.) on the left side of the printer

• 250 mm (9.8 in.) on the right side of the printer

• Choosing a Connection Method on page 30

• Connecting to a Network on page 30

• Connecting Using a USB Cable on page 31

• Connecting to a Telephone Line on page 31

Choosing a Connection Method

The printer can be connected to your computer using a USB cable or an Ethernet cable. The method you choose depends on whether your computer is connected to a 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 going to use a network connection, understand how your computer is connected to your network. For example, if your computer is connected to the network by way of a router connected to a cable or DSL modem. For more information, see About TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 32.

Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers,

network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet, 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 a 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.

• 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 not as fast as an Ethernet connection. In addition, a USB connection does not provide access to CentreWare Internet Services.

• Te l ep h on e: The printer must be connected to a dedicated telephone line to send and receive fax es.

Connecting to a Network

To connect the printer to a network:

1. Make sure 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. For safety information, see Power

Cord on page 10.

4. Set or automatically discover the network IP address of the printer. For details, see Assigning the

IP Address of the Printer on page 32.
