Quick Use Guide

Connecting to the Network

Follow these instructions to connect the machine to an Ethernet TCP/IP

network.

If you are connecting your machine to a different type of network, or you wish

to use other protocols, refer to the System Administrator Guide.

Test the Machine

Before connecting the machine to your network, make sure that it is operating

correctly as a copier.

1. Place a document in the Document Feeder and make 3 copies.

2. If the copies are made successfully, install the network connection as

described in the next steps. If copying is not successful, refer to

Troubleshooting on page 35.

Network Connection using TCP/IP

You can set up the TCP/IP network connection using either of the following

methods:

• DHCP: Use this method to allow a DHCP server to automatically assign

an IP Address. This is the factory default setting.

• Static IP Address: Use this method to manually assign an IP Address

provided by the network administrator.

When the machine is powered on, it automatically uses DHCP to obtain its

network configuration. To use a static IP Address, DHCP must be turned off and

the IP Address, Gateway Address, Subnet Mask, and DNS Server Address must

be entered manually.

1. Connect the Ethernet Cable to the RJ45

Connector on the back of the machine.

Note: The Ethernet Cable is not supplied by

Xerox.

2. To setup the address using DHCP, see

Network Setup on page 14. If you want to

set a static IP Address, see Network Setup

Using a Static IP Address on page 15.
