Note: See Ordering Interface cables and adapters about ordering cables for connecting the printer.

1. SCSI (standard)
   For connecting these optional peripheral devices:

   

   • Phaser Copystation To set up and connect the Phaser Copystation to your printer, refer to Chapter 2 of the Phaser Copystation User Manual. Required SCSI ID numbers are 5 and 6. Refer to Phaser Copystation for ordering information.

   • External SCSI hard disk Provides additional storage for downloadable fonts (the printer has an internal 1-Gbyte SCSI hard disk). You can connect one or more SCSI external hard disks to the printer; available SCSI ID numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3.

2. Parallel (standard)
   The printer supports a standard (uni-directional) parallel port. The port can also be set for bi-directional communications using downloadable utility files (available on the printer's CD-ROM, diskettes, or from your World Wide Web browser).
   • Use a high-density bi-directional parallel cable, available from most computer cable vendors; or order a 36-pin high-density printer to 25-pin DSUB PC cable from Xerox (order number: 012-1468-00). Otherwise, you can use a 36-pin to 36-pin parallel cable and the parallel adapter supplied with the printer.

   • Connect a parallel interface cable to your computer and to the printer's parallel port:

3. PhaserShare card (optional)
   The printer accepts one of the following:
   • PhaserShare Ethernet card supporting Novell NetWare, EtherTalk, TCP/IP, Telnet and FTP protocols.

   • PhaserShare Token Ring card supporting Novell NetWare, TCP/IP, TokenTalk, Telnet and FTP protocols.

   • PhaserShare LocalTalk/serial card.

     The PhaserShare Network Cards and Software System Administrator Manual contains all the information necessary for configuring and using the optional network interfaces. Refer to PhaserShare network cards for ordering information.

1. Remove the adhesive tape that protects the leveling legs and the bottom of the printer.

2. To adjust the four leveling legs under the printer, use a small, adjustable wrench to turn the nut on each leg to the desired height. If the floor is a smooth, non-carpeted surface, the leveling legs keep the printer from sliding.

3. Lock the front casters by pressing down on the locking lever. If the floor is a carpeted surface, the casters alone keep the printer steady.

Caution: Before turning on the power to the printer, make sure that you have removed all shipping material from inside the printer; otherwise, you can damage the printer. See Removing the transit restraint, Removing the shipping blocks, and Removing adhesive tape and cable tie.

• Transit restraint: (printhead) inside the printer's top cover.
• Cable ties: inside the printer's top cover.
• Shipping blocks: (fuser) inside the exit cover.

Make sure that you have attached the ink loader to the printer and that its cover is closed; otherwise, the printer will not start up.

Caution: To protect your printer from a power surge, make sure that the power switch on the printer is in the off position before plugging in the cord. You can also use a surge protector that is designed for computer equipment.

Make sure that you use the power cord that is shipped with the printer. If you need a new power cord, contact your local Xerox dealer.

---

1. Plug the power cord into the printer and into a grounded outlet.

2. Turn on the power to any peripherals you have connected (i.e., an external SCSI disk or the Phaser Copystation).

3. Wait 1 minute, then turn on the printer.

• Both status indicators (powerand error) on the printer's front panel light briefly. Messages appear in the display panel (LCD) as the printer goes through a series of self-tests.

• While initializing, the printer makes various mechanical sounds; the front panel displays this message as it performs an automatic head cleaning procedure:

---

Note: The printer's memory includes a startup page that is disabled by default. You can turn on the startup page using either the front panel menu or a software utility file provided on the CD-ROM or World Wide Web. Refer to Enabling and disabling the startup page for details.
