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.
Note: If the Software and Documentation disc is not available, you can download the latest
drivers from www.xerox.com/office/6600drivers.

• Connecting to a Computer Using USB ................................................................................. 32
• Connecting to a Wired Network ............................................................................................ 33
• Connecting to a Wireless Network........................................................................................ 33

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 43.
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. The optional wireless network adapter plugs in to
the back of the control board. After the adapter has been installed, and wireless networking has
been enabled and configured, the adapter can connect to a wireless network.
• 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.

Connecting to a Wireless Network
A wireless local area network (LAN) provides the means to connect two or more devices in a LAN
without a physical connection. The printer can connect to a wireless LAN that includes a wireless
router or wireless access point. Before connecting the printer to a wireless network, the wireless
router must be configured with a service set identifier (SSID), a passphrase, and security protocols.
Note: Wireless networking is available only on printers with the optional Wireless Network
Adapter installed.

Installation and Setup

Connecting to a Network with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network standard for setting up a wireless network. The WPS
protocols allow you with no wireless network experience to set up devices in a secure wireless
network. With a WPS-certified router, you can use tools in the router and the printer to connect the
printer to the network. In order to use the tools, the wireless router must be configured properly and
must be compliant with the WPS.
• Push Button Connection (PBC) is the easiest way to connect the printer to a wireless network. It
automatically connects when you push a button on the router and on the printer. After the router
and printer exchange information, the printer accepts the security and configuration information
from the router and connects to the network. The PBC is a moderately secure way to connect
the printer to the network. You do not need to enter any information to make the network
connection.
• PIN (Personal Identification Number) automatically connects the printer to wireless router by
using a common PIN. The printer generates and prints a PIN for use in the setup process. When
you enter the PIN into the router, the router broadcasts network information using the PIN.
When both devices recognize the PIN, the router provides the security and configuration
information to the printer, which uses it to connect to the network.
To connect to a WPS wireless network using the PBC method:
Note: The wireless router must be connected and properly configured for the network before you
install the printer.
1.

On the wireless router, push the PBC button.
The router broadcasts setup information for 120 seconds.
Note: If the wireless router does not have a physical PBC button, use your computer to select
the virtual button in the router control panel. For details, see your router documentation.

within 120 seconds, the connection attempt stops and the printer generates a new PIN.

10. At your computer, enter the PIN Code in the Client PIN Code field of the router control panel,
then click Next.
The printer communicates with the router to resolve setup and configuration information. When
the printer has the correct information, it connects to the router and restarts with the proper
setup and configuration information. If it does not connect with the printer within 120 seconds,
the connection attempt stops.
11. After the printer restarts, wait 20 seconds, then print a Configuration Report to get network
information including the IP address.
Note: If the printer does not connect to the wireless router, it generates a new PIN Code for the
next attempt. Do not try to use the old PIN for another attempt.

Collecting Wireless Network Information for Connecting to a Wireless Network
Manually
When connecting to a wireless network that does not include a WPS-compliant router, set up and
configure the printer manually. Before starting, you must get the setup and configuration information,
such as name and passphrase, from the router. After you collect the network information, you can
set up the printer from the control panel or from CentreWare Internet Services. For the easiest
manual connection, use CentreWare Internet Services.

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.

By default, the printer is set to acquire an IP address from the network server using DHCP. Network
addresses assigned by DHCP are temporary, however. After a specified time, the network could
assign a new IP address to the printer. If the print driver is set to an IP address that changes
periodically, you can experience connectivity issues. To avoid problems, or if your network
administrator requires a static IP address for the printer, you can assign the IP address to the printer.
Note: You can view the IP address of your printer on the control panel or on the Configuration
Report. For details, see Printing the Configuration Report on page 46.

An IP address properly configured for your network
The Network Mask address
The default Router/Gateway address

If you are on a network managed by a network administrator, contact your network administrator to
obtain the network information.
For a home network using routers or other devices to connect the printer to the network, refer to the
device instructions on assigning network addresses. The router or device documentation can give
you a range of acceptable address numbers you can use. It is important that the addresses be
similar to the IP addresses used by other printers and computers on the network, but not the same.
Only the last digit must be different. For example, your printer can have the IPv4 address
192.168.1.2 while your computer has the IP address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the IP
address 192.168.1.4.
The router could assign the static IP address of the printer to another computer that obtains its IP
address dynamically. To avoid having the IP address reassigned, give the printer an address at the
higher end of the range allowed by the router or device. For example, if your computer has IP
address 192.168.1.2, and your device allows IP addresses to 192.168.1.25, select an address
between 192.168.1.20 and 192.168.1.25.
In IPv6 network configurations, the IPv6 address is assigned automatically.
To assign a static IP address to the printer:
1. At the printer control panel, press the Menu button.
Note: To navigate through the menu, use the Up or Down arrow buttons.

About Security Certificates
A digital certificate is a file that contains data used to verify the identity of the client or server in a
network transaction. A certificate also contains a public key used to create and verify digital
signatures. One device proves its identity to another by presenting a certificate trusted by the other
device. Or, the device can present a certificate signed by a trusted third party and a digital signature
proving its ownership of the certificate.
A digital certificate includes the following data:
• Information about the owner of the certificate
• The certificate serial number and expiration date
• The name and digital signature of the certificate authority (CA) that issued the certificate
• A public key
• A purpose defining how the certificate and public key can be used
There are three types of certificates:
• Device Certificate: A certificate for which the printer has a private key, and the purpose
specified in the certificate allows it to be used to prove identity.
• CA Certificate: A certificate with authority to sign other certificates.
• Trusted Certificate: A self-signed certificate from another device that you want to trust.
To ensure that the printer can communicate with other devices over a secure trusted connection,
both devices must have certain certificates installed.
For protocols such as HTTPS, the printer is the server, and must prove its identity to the client Web
browser. For protocols such as 802.1X, the printer is the client, and must prove its identity to the
authentication server, typically a RADIUS server.

Installation and Setup

•

Install a device certificate on the printer.
Note: To enable HTTPS, create a self-signed Certificate from the SSL page in CentreWare
Internet Services.

•

Using Smart eSolutions
Smart eSolutions is a suite of features that simplifies printer ownership and administration. It
provides free services to enable administration of metered billing and supplies replenishment plans
for printers on a network. For details, see www.xerox.com/smartesolutions.
MeterAssistant automatically counts all metered impressions printed on network printers, then
submits them to Xerox. This process eliminates the need to collect and report meter read information
manually.
SuppliesAssistant monitors the remaining life of the toner or ink, and other printer consumables.
When Smart eSolutions is configured to communicate with Xerox, SuppliesAssistant also monitors
the usage of consumables. The data reported to Xerox is used to replenish supplies.

Overview for Setting Up Smart eSolutions
This is an overview of the steps required to set up the Smart eSolutions feature:
1. Enabling the Proxy Server.
2. Validating the DNS settings and enabling SSL.
3. Registering the printer with the Xerox Communication Server.

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

•
•
•
•
84

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.
Phaser 6600 Color Printer

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.

•
•
•

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.

Glossy Cardstock
You can print Lightweight Glossy Cardstock and Heavyweight Glossy Cardstock up to 216 g/m² from
any tray.

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.
Gutter

Creep

Print Quality
Print quality modes:
• Standard print-quality mode: 600 x 600 dpi
• Enhanced print-quality mode: 600 x 600 x 5 dpi (1200 x 1200 enhanced image quality)
• Photo print-quality mode: 600 x 600 x 5 dpi (1200 x 1200 enhanced image quality)
Note: The print resolutions are indicated for PostScript print drivers only. The only print quality
mode for PCL is Enhanced.

Image Options

• For Picture, click the Browse icon to locate the picture. Specify the scaling option that
specifies the size of the picture in relation to the original image.
4. Specify the angle and position of the watermark.
5. Under Layering, select how to print the watermark:
• Print in Background prints the watermark behind the text and graphics in the document.
• Blend combines the watermark with the text and graphics in the document. A blended
watermark is translucent, so you can see both the watermark and the document content.
• Print in Foreground prints the watermark over the text and graphics in the document.
6. Click Pages, then select the pages on which to print the watermark:
• Print on All Pages prints the watermark on all pages of your document.
• Print on Page 1 Only prints the watermark only on the first page of the document.
7. If you selected a picture as a watermark, specify the lightness of the image.
8. Click OK.

Windows, the Scale Options are located in the print driver on the Printing Options tab in the Paper
field.
To access Scale Options, click the arrow at the right side of the Paper field, then select Other Size.
• No Scaling does not change the size of the page image printed on the output paper, and 100%
appears in the percentage box. If the original size is larger than the output size, the page image

Maintenance

•

For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of mild detergent to the cloth and gently wipe the stain
off.
CAUTION: Do not spray detergent directly on the printer. Liquid detergent could enter the printer
through a gap and cause problems. Never use cleaning agents other than water or mild
detergent.

Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the printer regularly to prevent stains inside the printer that can deteriorate
printing quality. Clean the printer interior whenever you replace an imaging unit.
After clearing paper jams or replacing a toner cartridge, inspect the inside of the printer before
closing the printer covers.
• Remove any remaining pieces of paper or debris. For details, see Clearing Paper Jams on page
148.
• Remove any dust or stains with a dry, clean cloth.
WARNING: Never touch a labeled area on or near the heat roller in the fuser. You can get
burned. If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it immediately.
Switch off the printer immediately and wait 40 minutes for the fuser to cool. Try to remove the jam
after the printer has cooled.

Cleaning the Laser Lenses
If prints have voids or light streaks through one or more color, use the following instructions to clean
the laser lenses.
WARNING: If you accidentally get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as best as you can.
If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool water, not hot, to rinse off the toner. If toner gets
on your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap. If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out
immediately with cool water and consult a doctor.

To ensure consistent print quality, the toner cartridges and imaging units for many models
of equipment are designed to cease functioning at a predetermined point.
Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting increment the color pages
counter, because color consumables are used. Composite black is the default setting on
most printers.

Controlling Print Quality
Various factors can affect the quality of the output of your printer. For consistent and optimum print
quality, use paper designed for your printer, and correctly set the Print-Quality Mode and Color
Adjustments. Follow the guidelines in this section to maintain optimum print quality from your printer.
Temperature and humidity affect the quality of the printed output. The guaranteed range for optimal
print quality is: 15–28ºC (59–82ºF) and 20–70% relative humidity.

Paper and Media
Your printer is designed to use various paper and other media types. Follow the guidelines in this
section for the best print quality and to avoid jams:
• Use only Xerox® approved paper. For details, see Supported Paper on page 84.
• Use only dry, undamaged paper.

Printer warm up time

Power on: As fast as 12 seconds.
Recovery from sleep mode: As fast as 3 seconds.
Note: Warm up time assumes an ambient temperature of 20ºC (68°F)
at 60% relative humidity.

Print Speed
Print speeds for continuous printing are up to 36 ppm. Print speeds are the same for color or black
and white printing.
Several factors affect print speed:
• Print mode. The fastest print modes are Standard and Enhanced. Photo mode prints at half
speed. Photo mode prints 1-sided pages on Plain, Letter/A4 at 17 ppm.
• Paper size. Letter (8.5 x 11 in.) prints slightly faster than A4 (210 x 297 mm). Larger sizes
reduce print speeds.
• Paper type and weights. For faster printing, use paper weights of 105 g/m² or less.
The maximum print speed for 1-sided printing is 36 ppm on Letter paper, and 35 ppm on A4 paper.
The maximum print speed for 2-sided printing is 24 ppm on Letter and A4 paper.
Photo mode prints 1-sided pages on Plain, Letter/A4 at 17 ppm.

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.
