Choosing a Connection Method
Phaser® 8560 Color Printer 2-3
Choosing a Connection Method
Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A  USB connection is a direct connection from the 
printer to your computer and is not used for networking. An Ethernet connection is used for 
networking. Hardware and cabling requirements  vary for the different connection methods. 
Cabling and hardware are generally not included  with your printer and must be purchased 
separately.
This section includes:
■Connecting via Ethern et (Recommended) on page 2-3
■Connecting via USB  on page 2-4
Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended)
Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an 
Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is  recommended because it is faster than a USB 
connection. It also allows yo u direct access to CentreWare  Internet Services (IS). The 
CentreWare IS web interface  enables you to manage, config ure, and monitor networked 
printers from your desktop.
Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the follo wing hardware and cabling is required for 
Ethernet.
■If you are connecting to one computer, an Et hernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required. 
■If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, cable, or DSL 
router, two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for 
each device.)
■If you are connecting to one or more computer s with a hub, connect the computer to the 
hub with one cable, and then co nnect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect 
to any port on the hub except the uplink port.

Choosing a Connection Method
Phaser® 8560 Color Printer 2-4
Connecting via USB
If you are connecting to one computer, a USB conn ection offers fast data speeds. However, a 
USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet  connection. To use USB, PC users must have 
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or newer operating system. 
Macintosh users must use Mac OS 9.x and higher. 
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cab le. This cable is not included with your 
printer and must be purchased separately. Verify  that you are using the correct USB (1.x or 
2.0) cable for your connection.
1. Connect one end of the USB cable  to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.
