Installation and Setup

Installation and Setup Overview

Before printing, your computer and the printer must be plugged in, turned on, and connected. Configure
the initial settings of the printer, then install the driver software and utilities on your computer.
You can connect to your printer over a network using an Ethernet cable, or directly to your computer using
a USB cable. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers,
network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet, 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 CentreWare Internet Services.
For details on connection and network setup, print the Connection Setup page:
1. At the control panel, touch Printer.
On the Information tab, touch Print Reference Materials.
2.
3. Touch Connection Setup.
4. Touch Print.
For details on configuring the printer settings, see the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/7800docs.

Physically Connecting the Printer to the 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 CentreWare Internet Services.
To connect the printer:
1. Connect the power cord to the printer, and 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 printer.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a correctly configured network port on a hub
or router.
3. Turn on the printer.
