is set as the primary Ethernet connection, 0.0.0.0 is displayed as the IP address for the printer.

Installation and Setup Overview
Before you print, ensure that your computer and the printer are plugged in, powered on, and connected.
Configure the initial settings of the printer, then install the print driver software and utilities on your
computer.
You can connect to your printer directly from your computer using USB, or connect to a network using
an Ethernet cable or wireless connection. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different
connection methods. Routers, network hubs and switches, modems, Ethernet cables, 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 the Embedded
Web Server.
For more information, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/VLB405docs.
Selecting a Location for the Printer
1. Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10–32°C (50–90°F), and relative humidity 10–85%.
