Connections and Networks
Choosing a Connection
Network Connection
Use an Ethernet connection with two twisted-pair (Category 5/RJ-45) cables and an Ethernet
hub. Connect the computer to the hub with one cable, then connect the printer to the hub with
the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port. TCP/IP and EtherTalk
are the most common protocols used with Ethernet cables. To print using TCP/IP, each
computer and printer requires a unique IP address. See "Setting an IP Address."
Note
Connecting your printer to a network requires the optional Network Interface Card (NIC).
Network connection is standard on the 3450DN configuration.
Direct Connection
Connect your printer directly to a computer using the USB cable provided or an IEEE 1284
parallel cable. For more information see the Setup Guide that came with your printer. You can
also view it on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM or on the web at
office/3450support.
Standalone (Cable or DSL) Network Connection
For details on setting up a Cable or DSL connection for your printer, see the infoSMART
Knowledge Base at www.xerox.com/office/infoSMART, Document # 33188, entitled Basic
TCP/IP Tutorial and Home Networking Guidelines.
Setting an IP Address
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate
TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to
your computer over Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer's IP
address.
The printer and computer(s) must have unique IP addresses. It is important that the addresses
are similar, but not the same. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while
your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
