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 must be 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/VLC500support.
Selecting a Location for the Printer
1. Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10–32°C (50–90°F), and relative
humidity 10–85%.
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 to
hold 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.
3. 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.
4. After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source and
computer or network.
Opening the Output Tray Extension
To provide better support for your prints, open the Output Tray Extension. For printing
on longer paper, lengthen the Output Tray Extension by pulling out the extender until
it stops.
