Selecting a Location for the Printer

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.

• Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10–30°C (50–90°F), and relative

humidity 20–80%

• 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. To find the weight for your printer configuration, see

Physical

Specifications

.

• Select a location with adequate clearance to access supplies and to provide proper

ventilation. To find the clearance requirements for your printer, see

Clearance

Requirements for Standard Configuration

.

• After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source and

computer or network.

Connecting the Printer

Selecting a Connection Method

The printer can be connected to your computer using a USB cable or an Ethernet cable.
The method you select depends on how your computer is connected to the 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 using a network connection, it is important to
understand how your computer is connected to the network. For details, refer to

Note

• Not all options listed are supported on all printers. Some options apply only to a

specific printer model, configuration, operating system, or driver type.

• Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods.

Routers, network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, 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 home network, use an Ethernet
cable to connect the printer to a network port. Ethernet networks can support many
computers, printers, and devices simultaneously. In most cases, an Ethernet connection
is faster than USB and provides direct access to printer settings using Xerox
