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 must be 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.
For more information, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.support.xerox.com .

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 . 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 .
3. After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source and computer or
network.

Use a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network. An Ethernet network
is used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An
Ethernet connection provides direct access to printer settings using the Embedded Web Server.
To connect the printer:
1. Connect the power cord to the printer, then plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Connect one end of a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the
printer. Connect the other end of the cable to a correctly-configured network port.
