Installation and Setup Overview
Before you print, ensure that your computer and the printer are plugged in, powered on, and connected.
Configure the initial settings of the printer, then install the print driver software and utilities on your
computer.
You can connect to your printer directly from your computer using USB, or connect to a network using an
Ethernet cable or wireless connection. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different
connection methods. Routers, network hubs and switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are
not included with your printer and are purchased separately. Xerox recommends an Ethernet connection
because it is typically faster than a USB connection, and it provides access to the Embedded Web Server.

Selecting a Location for the Printer
1.
Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10–28°C (50–83°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 to hold the weight
of the printer. The printer must be horizontal with all four castors in solid contact with the surface.
To find the weight for your printer configuration, refer to
Physical Specifications
on page 326. Select
a location with adequate clearance to access supplies and to provide proper ventilation. To find the
clearance requirements for your printer, refer to
Clearance Requirements
on page 327.
3.
After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source and computer or
network.
