Setting Up the Network
This section includes:
■Choosing a Connection Method on page 2-3
■Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended) on page 2-3
■Connecting via USB on page 2-4
Choosing a Connection Method
Connect the printer to the network via Ethernet or USB. Hardware and cabling requirements
vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally not included
with your printer and must be purchased separately.
Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended)
Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an
Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB
connection. It also allows you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services (IS).
CentreWare IS provides a simple interface that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor
networked printers from your desktop using an embedded web server. For complete
information about CentreWare IS, click the Help button in CentreWare IS to go to the
CentreWare IS Online Help.
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 a hub, an Ethernet hub and two
twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required.
■If you are connecting to one or more computers using a cable or DSL router, a cable or
DSL router and two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One
cable for each device.)
■If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the
hub with one cable, and 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. To print using a
TCP/IP protocol, each computer and printer requires a unique IP address.

Connecting via USB
If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. However, a
USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have
Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows XP, or Windows 2000. Macintosh users
must use Mac OS 9.x and higher.
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your
printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB cable for
your connection.
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

■Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-6
■Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-8
TCP/IP and IP Addresses
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 using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s
Internet Protocol (IP) address.
PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is
important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be
different. 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.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the EtherTalk protocol to talk to a
networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however,
EtherTalk does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a
cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.
See also:
infoSMART Knowledge Base Networking Documents (English Only) on page 2-12
Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use
the installer on the 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 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.

Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address
Set the printer’s IP address using any of the following methods. DHCP is enabled by default on
all Phaser printers.
■DHCP
■CentreWare IS
■AutoIP
Enabling DHCP on the Printer
Verify that the printer DHCP protocol is enabled by setting the control panel or by using
CentreWare IS. DHCP is enabled by default on all Phaser printers.
Note: To determine the printer’s IP address, select on the control Printer Identification
panel.

Using Host Names with the Domain Name Service (DNS)
The printer supports DNS through an embedded DNS resolver. The DNS resolver protocol
communicates with one or more DNS servers to resolve the IP address for a given host name
or the host name for a given IP address.
To use an IP host name for the printer, the system administrator must configure one or more
DNS servers and a local DNS domain name space database. To set up the printer for DNS,
supply a maximum of two DNS name server IP addresses.
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)
The printer supports Dynamic DNS through DHCP. You must have DHCP enabled on the
printer for DDNS to function. Your network’s DHCP server must also support Dynamic DNS
updates through option 12 or option 81 support. See your network administrator for details.

Paper Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum
print quality.
■Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun
and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of
exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
■Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than
outside walls where moisture can collect.
■Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
■Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
■Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer.
Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream
wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
■Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the
bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic
bags.
