Installation and Setup Overview
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 are 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.
For more information, refer to the
System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/VLB400docs.
Selecting a Location for the Printer
1. Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 5–32°C (41–90°F), and relative humidity 15–85%.
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 for 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 Weights and Dimensions on page 168, on page 168.
Select a location with adequate clearance to access supplies and to provide proper ventilation.
To find the clearance requirements for your printer, refer to Clearance Requirements.
3. After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source and computer
or network.
