Installation and Setup

Installation and Setup Overview
Before printing, your computer and the printer must be plugged in, turned on, and connected. Configure
the initial settings of the printer, then install the driver software and utilities on your computer.
You can connect to your printer directly from your computer using USB, or connect over a network using
an Ethernet cable or wireless connection. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different
connection methods. Routers, network hubs, network 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 CentreWare
Internet Services.
For details, see the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/WC3615docs.

Installation and Setup

Selecting a Location for the Printer
1.

Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10–32°C (50–90°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, see Physical Specifications on page 126.

• Connecting to a Wireless Network ............................................................................................................................ 32

Selecting a Connection Method
The printer can be connected to your computer using a USB cable or an Ethernet cable. The method you
select depends on how your computer is connected to the network. A USB connection is a direct
connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet 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 34.
Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers,
network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included with
your printer and must be purchased separately.
•

•

•

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.
USB: If you connect the printer to one computer and do not have a network, use a USB connection.
A USB connection offers fast data speeds, but typically not as fast as an Ethernet connection. In
addition, a USB connection does not provide access to CentreWare Internet Services.

Connecting to a Computer Using USB
To use USB, you must have Windows XP SP1 and later, Windows Server 2003 and later, or Macintosh OS
X version 10.5 and later.
To connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable:

To install the print drivers for a network-connected printer, you need the IP address of your printer. You
also need the IP address to access the settings of your printer through CentreWare Internet Services. You
can view the IP address of your printer on the Configuration Page or on the control panel.
After the printer has been on for two minutes, print the Configuration Page. The TCP/IP address appears
in the Network section of the page. If the IP address listed on the page is 0.0.0.0, the printer needs more
time to acquire an IP address from the DHCP server. Wait two minutes, then print the Configuration
Page again.

This section includes:
• About TCP/IP and IP Addresses ................................................................................................................................. 34

About TCP/IP and IP Addresses
Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to communicate with a
network printer. For Macintosh OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, Bonjour does
not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. Many networks and
cable and DSL routers have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically assigns an IP address to every computer and printer on the network that is configured to
use DHCP.
If you use a Cable or DSL router, see the documentation for your router for information on IP addressing.

Your printer is designed to use various paper and other media types. To ensure the best print quality and
to avoid jams, follow the guidelines in this section.
For best results, use Xerox paper and media recommended for your printer.

Recommended Media
A list of paper and media recommended for your printer is available at:
• www.xerox.com/paper Recommended Media List (United States)
• www.xerox.com/europaper Recommended Media List (Europe)

Ordering Paper
To order paper or other media, contact your local reseller or visit www.xerox.com/office/3610supplies.

General Paper Loading Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
•

46

Do not overfill the paper trays. Do not load paper above the maximum fill line in the tray.
Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.
Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray.
If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package.
Do not print on label media once a label has been removed from a sheet.
Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes 1-sided only.

Paper and Media

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer
Some paper and other media types can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage
your printer. Do not use the following:
• Rough or porous paper
• Inkjet paper
• Non-laser glossy or coated paper
• Paper that has been photocopied
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with cutouts or perforations
• Stapled paper
• Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips
• Padded envelopes
• Plastic media
CAUTION: The Xerox Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee does not
cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or specialty media. The Xerox Total Satisfaction
Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside these areas.
Please contact your local representative for details.

Paper Storage Guidelines
Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.
• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from
ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly
damaging to paper.
• Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect
moisture.
• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave
stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or
gain.
• Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until
you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand
if you do not get desired results.
Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid excess moisture and dryness which can affect
print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or
during printing.
Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book
on top of them.
In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
Do not use envelopes with heat activated glue.
Do not use envelopes with press and seal flaps.
Use only paper envelopes.
Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.

Guidelines for Printing Labels
•

•
•
•
•

•
•
•
•

Use labels designed for laser printing.
Do not use vinyl labels.
Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once.
Do not use dry gum labels.
Print only on one side of the sheet of labels. Use full sheet labels only.
Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the original
packaging until ready to use. Return any unused sheets of labels to the original packaging and
reseal it.
Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold conditions. Storing
them in extreme conditions can cause print-quality problems or cause them to jam in the printer.
Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels to curl and
jam in the printer.
In the print driver software, select Label as the paper type.
Remove all other paper from the tray before loading labels.
CAUTION: Do not use any sheet where labels are missing, curled, or pulled away from the backing
sheet. It could damage the printer.

Printing Multiple Pages to a Single Sheet
When printing a multiple-page document, you can print more than one page on a single sheet of paper.
Print 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per side by selecting Pages Per Sheet on the Page Layout tab. Page Layout
is on the Document Options tab.

Printing Booklets
With 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small booklet. Create booklets from any
paper size that is supported for 2-sided printing. The driver automatically reduces each page image and
prints four page images per sheet of paper, two page images on each side. The pages are printed in the
correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create the booklet.
When you print booklets using the Windows PostScript or Macintosh driver, you can specify the gutter
and creep.
• Gutter specifies the horizontal distance in points between the page images. A point is 0.35 mm
(1/72 in.).
• Creep specifies how much the page images are shifted outward, in tenths of a point. Shifting
compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which would cause the page images to shift
slightly outward when folded. You can select a value from zero to 1 point.

Minimizing Paper Jams
The printer is designed to function with minimal paper jams using Xerox supported paper. Other paper
types can cause jams. If supported paper is jamming frequently in one area, clean that area of the paper
path.
The following can cause paper jams:
• Selecting the incorrect paper type in the print driver.
• Using damaged paper.
• Using unsupported paper.
• Loading paper incorrectly.
• Overfilling the tray.
• Adjusting the paper guides improperly.
Most jams can be prevented by following a simple set of rules:
• Use only supported paper. For details, see Supported Paper on page 46.
• Follow proper paper handling and loading techniques.
• Always use clean, undamaged paper.
• Avoid paper that is curled, torn, moist, creased, or folded.
• To separate the sheets before loading into the tray, fan the paper.
• Observe the paper tray fill line; never overfill the tray.
• Adjust the paper guides in all trays after inserting the paper. A guide that is not properly adjusted
can cause poor print quality, misfeeds, skewed prints, and printer damage.
• After loading the trays, select the correct paper type and size on the control panel.
• When printing, select the correct type and size in the print driver.
• Store paper in a dry location.
• Use only Xerox paper and transparencies designed for the printer.
Avoid the following:
• Polyester coated paper that is specially designed for inkjet printers.
• Paper that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
• Loading more than one type, size, or weight of paper in a tray at the same time.
• Overfilling the trays.
• Allowing the output tray to overfill.
For a detailed list of supported paper, go to www.xerox.com/paper.

Regulatory Information

Basic Regulations
Xerox has tested this printer to electromagnetic emission and immunity standards. These standards are
designed to mitigate interference caused or received by this printer in a typical office environment.

United States FCC Regulations
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance
with these instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his/her own expense.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not approved by Xerox can void the authority of the user to
operate this equipment.
Note: To ensure compliance with Part 15 of the FCC rules, use shielded interface cables.

Canada
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

European Union Lot 4 Imaging Equipment Agreement Environmental
Information
Environmental Information Providing Environmental Solutions and Reducing Cost
Introduction
The following information has been developed to assist users and has been issued in relation to the
European Union (EU) Energy Related Products Directive, specifically the Lot 4 study on Imaging
Equipment. This requires manufacturers to improve environmental performance of in scope products
and supports the EU action plan on energy efficiency.
In scope products are Household and Office equipment that meet the following criteria.
• Standard monochrome format products with a maximum speed less than 66 A4 images per minute
• Standard color format products with a maximum speed less than 51 A4 images per minute

Environmental Benefits of Duplex Printing
Most Xerox products have duplex printing, also known as 2-sided printing, capability. This enables you to
print on both sides of the paper automatically, and therefore helps to reduce the use of valuable
resources by reducing your paper consumption. The Lot 4 Imaging Equipment agreement requires that
on models greater than or equal to 40 ppm color or greater than or equal to 45 ppm monochrome the
duplex function has been auto enabled, during the setup and driver installation. Some Xerox models
below these speed bands may also be enabled with 2-sided printing settings defaulted on at the time of
install. Continuing to use the duplex function will reduce the environmental impact of your work.
However, should you require simplex/1-sided printing, you may change the print settings in the print
driver.

Regulatory Information

Paper Types
This product can be used to print on both recycled and virgin paper, approved to an environmental
stewardship scheme, which complies with EN12281 or a similar quality standard. Lighter weight paper
(60 g/m²), which contains less raw material and thus save resources per print, may be used in certain
applications. We encourage you to check if this is suitable for your printing needs.

ENERGY STAR
The ENERGY STAR program is a voluntary scheme to promote the development and purchase of energy
efficient models, which help to reduce environmental impact. Details on the ENERGY STAR program and
models qualified to ENERGY STAR can be found at the following website:
www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=find_a_product.showProductGroup&pgw_code=IEQ

Power Consumption and Activation Time
The amount of electricity a product consumes depends on the way the device is used. This product is
designed and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity costs. After the last print it switches to
Ready Mode. In this mode it can print again immediately if required. If the product is not used for a
period of time, the device switches to a Power Saver Mode. In these modes, only essential functions
remain active in order to enable reduced product power consumption.
Upon exiting from Power Saver Mode, the first print will take slightly longer than in Ready Mode. This
delay is the result of the system "waking up" from Power Saver mode and is typical of most imaging
products on the market.
If you wish to set a longer Activation Time or would like to completely deactivate the Power Save Mode,
please consider that this device may then only switch to a lower energy level after a longer period of
time or not at all.
