Terminology You Need to Know
Network: A system of linked devices that share resources, such as Internet access and printers, connected through a
common wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (supported by Ethernet cords) network router.
Wi-Fi Direct: This is a feature on your printer/MFP that when enabled, emits a wireless signal that Wi-Fi capable
devices (e.g. phones, computers) can directly connect to for printing. You can connect your device to the printer’s
wireless signal just like you would connect to an Internet router’s Wi-Fi signal.
Computer’s Operating System (OS): This is the software version that your computer is running. Your operating
system determines which print drivers and Xerox applications you will use for printing and scanning.
Utility, or Utility Pack: This is a set of files, software and tools that must be downloaded to your computer to setup
your printer. After being downloaded, the files may need to be installed manually on your PC, or will be automatically
installed with the help of an imbedded “wizard” or executable file. The package contents vary based on your PC’s OS,
but they generally contain drivers for printing, scanning and faxing. They may contain applications that allow you to fax,
scan, or access your printer’s advanced settings from your desktop.
CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS): This is your printer’s web interface where you can manage advanced settings.
You access it by entering your printer’s IP address in your web browser. Your printer must be on the network or have
Wi-Fi direct enabled in order to access CWIS.

How do you want to connect the printer to the
Windows computer?
Directly with a USB cord
This method directly connects your
printer to your computer using a USB
cord. Your printer must be located
within the cord’s reach of the
computer. The USB cord was shipped
with your printer.
This method is not recommended if
you plan to print from mobile devices.
Through the network with an
Ethernet cord
This method connects your printer to
your network using a cable. Any
computer or device that is also on the
network can print to it. The Ethernet
cord is not provided.
If you do not have a wireless network
router, you can use Wi-Fi direct to
print from devices that are not on the
network. The networked printer can be
configured to emit a signal that
devices can directly connect to.
Through the network via Wi-Fi
This method wirelessly connects your
printer to your home office network.
Any computer or device that is also on
the network can print to it. You must
have a wireless router and a good Wi-
Fi signal.
You can also enable Wi-Fi direct to
print from devices that are not on the
network. The networked printer can be
configured to emit a signal that
devices can directly connect to.
