More Information Xerox Support Centre The Xerox Support Centre is a utility that is installed during printer driver installation. It is available for printers with Windows 2000 and later or Mac OS X, version 10.2 and higher. The Xerox Support Centre icon appears on the desktop for Windows printers or is placed in the Mac OS X dock.
Network Basics This chapter includes: ■ ■ ■ ■ Overview of Network Setup and Configuration on page 2-2 Choosing a Connection Method on page 2-3 Configuring the Network Address on page 2-5 Installing the Printer Drivers on page 2-9 This chapter provides basic information about setting up and connecting to your printer. See also: Advanced Features Guide at www.xerox.
Overview of Network Setup and Configuration Overview of Network Setup and Configuration To set up and configure the network: 1. 2. 3. 4. Connect the printer to the network using the recommended hardware and cables. Turn on the printer and the computer. Print the Configuration page and keep it for referencing network settings. Configure the printer’s TCP/IP address, which is required to identify the printer on the network.
Choosing a Connection Method Choosing a Connection Method Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A USB connection is a direct connection from the printer to your computer and is not used for networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally not included with your printer and must be purchased separately.
Choosing a Connection Method Connecting via USB If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. However, a USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or newer operating system. Macintosh users must use Mac OS 9.x and higher. USB Connection A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your printer and must be purchased separately.
Configuring the Network Address Configuring the Network Address This section includes: ■ ■ ■ ■ TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 2-5 Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-6 Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-6 Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-7 TCP/IP and IP Addresses If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.
Configuring the Network Address Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use the installer on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM to detect or assign an IP address to your printer. For further instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. After the Installer launches, follow the prompts for installation.
Configuring the Network Address Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network. Contact your network administrator for more information. If you are on a network without a DNS server, or in an environment where the network administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP.
Configuring the Network Address Using CentreWare IS CentreWare IS provides a simple interface that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop using an embedded web server. For complete information about CentreWare IS, click the Help button in CentreWare IS to go to the CentreWare IS Online Help. After setting the printer’s IP address, you can modify TCP/IP settings using CentreWare IS. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Launch your web browser.

Supported Paper and Media Supported Paper and Media This section includes: ■ ■ ■ ■ Paper Usage Guidelines on page 3-4 Paper That Can Damage Your Printer on page 3-4 Paper Storage Guidelines on page 3-5 Supported Paper Sizes and Weights on page 3-5 Your printer is designed to be used with a variety of paper types. Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure the best print quality and to avoid jams. For best results, use Xerox printing media specified for your Phaser 8560 printer.
Supported Paper and Media Paper Usage Guidelines The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other specialty media. Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Use only recommended Xerox transparencies; print quality may vary with other transparencies. Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet. Use only paper envelopes. Print all envelopes single-sided only. Do not overload the paper trays.
Supported Paper and Media Paper Storage Guidelines Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print quality. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items.
