Selecting a Location for the PrinterNoteSudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid heating of a cold roomcan cause condensation inside the printer, directly interfering with image transfer.• Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10–30°C (50–90°F), and relativehumidity 20–80%• Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength forthe weight of the printer. The printer must be horizontal with all four feet in solidcontact with the surface. To find the weight for your printer configuration, see PhysicalSpecifications.• Select a location with adequate clearance to access supplies and to provide properventilation. To find the clearance requirements for your printer, see ClearanceRequirements for Standard Configuration.• After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source andcomputer or network.Connecting the PrinterSelecting a Connection MethodThe 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. AUSB connection is a direct connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet connectionis used for networking. If you are using a network connection, it is important tounderstand how your computer is connected to the network. For details, refer to AboutTCP/IP and IP Addresses.Note• Not all options listed are supported on all printers. Some options apply only to aspecific printer model, configuration, operating system, or driver type.• Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods.Routers, network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cablesare not included with your printer and must be purchased separately.NetworkIf your computer is connected to an office network or home network, use an Ethernetcable to connect the printer to a network port. Ethernet networks can support manycomputers, printers, and devices simultaneously. In most cases, an Ethernet connectionis faster than USB and provides direct access to printer settings using Xerox® CentreWare®Internet Services.Xerox® Phaser® 3330 Printer3-2User GuideInstallation and Setup
