Selecting a Connection Method

You can connect to your printer directly using Ethernet, USB, wireless, or Wi-Fi Direct. The method you

select depends on how your computer connects to the network. A USB connection is a direct connection

and is the easiest to set up. A wireless connection is used for networking. If you are using a network

connection, it is important to understand how your computer is connected to the network. For details,

see

About TCP/IP and IP Addresses

on page 43.

Note:

Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods.

•

Network: If your computer is connected to an office network or home network, use an Ethernet

cable to connect the printer to the network. You cannot connect the printer directly to the computer.

It must be connected through a router or hub. An Ethernet network can be used for one or more

computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. Ethernet connection is typically

faster than USB and allows you direct access to the settings of the printer using CentreWare

Internet Services.

•

Wireless Network: If your computer includes a wireless router or wireless access point, you can

connect the printer to the network with a wireless connection. A wireless network connection

provides the same access and services as a wired connection provides. A wireless network

connection is typically faster than USB and allows direct access to the setting of the printer using

CentreWare Internet Services.

You can connect to your printer from a Wi-Fi mobile device, such as a tablet, computer, or smart phone,

using Wi-Fi Direct.

Note:

Wi-Fi Direct is disabled by default. Xerox recommends that only one user at a time accesses the

printer using Wi-Fi Direct.

Note:

A Wi-Fi Direct connection does not provide network access.

•

USB: If you connect the printer to one computer and do not have a network, you can use a USB

connection.

Note:

A USB connection does not provide access to CentreWare Internet Services.
