Overview of Network Setup and Configuration
To set up and configure the network:
1.Connect the printer to the network using the recommended hardware and cables.
2.Turn on the printer and the computer.
3.Print the Configuration page and keep it for referencing network settings.
4.Configure the printer’s TCP/IP address, which is required to identify the printer on the 
network. 
■Windows operating systems: Run the Installer on the Software and Documentation 
CD-ROM to automatically set the printer’s IP address if the printer is connected to an 
established TCP/IP network. You can also manually set the printer’s IP address on the 
control panel.
■Macintosh systems: Manually set the printer’s TCP/IP address on the control panel.
5.Install the driver software on the computer from the Software and Documentation 
CD-ROM. For information on driver installation, see the section in this chapter for the

							Choosing a Connection Method
Phaser® 8560/8860 Printer

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 Ethernet (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 you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services (IS). The 
CentreWare IS web interface enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked 
printers from your desktop.
Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for 
Ethernet.
■If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet 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 computers with a hub, connect the computer to the 
hub with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect 
to any port on the hub except the uplink port.
