Choosing a Connection Method Choosing a Connection Method Connect the printer via Ethernet, USB, or parallel. A USB or a parallel 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.
Choosing a Connection Method Network Connection Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for Ethernet. ■ If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required. ■ If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, or cable or DSL router, two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required.
Choosing a Connection Method Connecting via Parallel A parallel cable connection can also be used for connecting to one computer. This type of connection provides the slowest data speeds. Parallel connection requires a standard-to-high density parallel printer cable, (36-pin high-density 1284-C [male] to 36-pin low density 1284-B [male] cable), with a maximum length of three meters (10 feet).
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 Xerox Installer launches, follow the prompts for installation. Note: For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established TCP/IP network.
