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.

1. Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10-32°C (50-90°F), and relative humidity 10-85%.
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.
2. Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold 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, refer to
access supplies and to provide proper ventilation. To find the clearance requirements for your printer, refer to
Total Space Requirements.
3. After positioning the printer, connect it to the power source and computer or network.
