Connecting to a Wired Network 
Use a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network. An Ethernet network is 
used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An Ethernet 
connection provides direct access to printer settings using the Embedded Web Server. 
To connect the printer: 
1.  Connect the power cord to the printer, then plug the cord into an electrical outlet. 
2.  Connect one end of a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the 
printer. Connect the other end of the cable to a correctly-configured network port. 
3.  Power on the printer. 
For details on configuring connection settings, refer to the System Administrator Guide at

Connecting to a Wireless Network 
If you have purchased the Wireless Network Adapter, you can use the Wireless Wizard to connect the 
device to a wireless network. If the device is connected to a wired network, you can configure wireless 
settings in the Embedded Web Server. 
Notes: 
•  For more information, refer to the Xerox

 Wireless Network Adapter Kit Hardware Install and 
Setup instructions that are included with the kit. 
•  The device uses either the wireless or the wired network connection. Activating one network 
connection deactivates the other network connection.
