Connection Setup
USB Connection
The USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. The "A" end of the cable connects to the computer's USB port;
the "B" end connects to the printer's USB port.
Windows 98 or later
Connect the USB cable to the PC and follow the Add New Hardware Wizard to create the USB port. Follow the Add
Printer Wizard to install the printer driver from your printer's software CD-ROM. For more details, refer to the infoSMART
Knowledge Base at www.xerox.com/officeprinting/infoSMART, Document # 18215.
Macintosh (requires OS 9.0.4 or later)
A USB-connected printer will not show in the Chooser. Install the printer driver from your printer's software CD-ROM.
Use the Desktop Printer Utility (version 1.2 or later) to create a desktop USB printer. The utility is located in the
PhaserTools folder created during the software install. For more details, refer to the infoSMART Knowledge Base at
www.xerox.com/officeprinting/infoSMART, Document # 33225.
Parallel Connection
The printer's parallel connection uses a parallel cable to connect your computer's parallel port to the printer's parallel
port. Install the printer driver from your printer's software CD-ROM. Select the appropriate LPT parallel port.
Ethernet Connection (recommended)
Network
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 and connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Use 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 the printer requires a unique IP address. See Setting IP Addresses.
Standalone Use
Use a crossover cable to connect the printer directly to the computer via the Ethernet port.
Setting an IP address
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses and
additional configurations.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network, or connecting the printer directly to your computer over Ethernet,
use this basic procedure. The printer and computer(s) should 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, and so on.
