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 Printer Settings page and keep it for referencing network settings. Install the driver software on the computer from the Software and Documentation CD-ROM.
Choosing a Connection Method Choosing a Connection Method Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A USB connection is a direct connection 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. A USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or newer operating system. 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 3-5 Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 3-5 Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 3-6 Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 3-7 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 Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address: ■ ■ DHCP (enabled by default on all Phaser printers) AutoIP You can turn on/off both protocols using the control panel, or use CentreWare IS to turn on/off DHCP. Using the Control Panel To turn on/off either the DHCP or AutoIP protocol: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. On the control panel, select the Menu button.
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 DHCP 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 Changing or Modifying the IP Address Using CentreWare IS CentreWare IS provides a simple interface to the embedded web server in any networked Xerox printer that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop. For complete information about CentreWare IS, click the Help button in CentreWare IS to go to the CentreWare IS Online Help.
