Step 1: Prepare for Installation

If you want to set up your printer on a wireless network, at first, you have to write down the network name and password. Then, you have to turn on the router, computer, and the printer.

1. Begin by unboxing the printer properly without any damage, and then plug in the power cable into a wall socket.
2. Now, turn on your computer and insert the CD which you have received with your printer.
3. Double-click on the application. Now, run the CD manually by clicking on the Next button.
4. Now, follow the on-screen instructions and install the application driver for your Xerox Phaser 6022 printer.
5. Once the installation process completes, try to connect the printer to the Admin PC. Then, select the IP address and the name of your Xerox Phaser printer.
6. After that, try to create a dynamic IP address for a large range network that helps to prevent a network conflict.
7. It will take at least 30 minutes to complete the whole installation process. When prompted, click the Continue button below to complete the installation process.
8. Now, on your computer, open a web browser in the address field.
9. Type your printer’s IP address. Then, press the Enter or the Return key.
10. After that, go to CentreWare Internet Services and select the Properties option.
11. Now, expand the menu in the Properties pane to find the General folder.
12. For Printer Defaults, locate the printer model number, serial number, and printer name. Note down this information because they are required later in the Xerox Phaser 6022 color laser printer setup process.
13. For Port Enabling, locate the version numbers for each of the page description languages that are installed on the printer.

Once you have completed the setup process, you have to go through the next section to connect your printer with USB or Wi-Fi to continue a hassle-free printing session.

Step 2: Connecting the Printer

To perform a proper Xerox Phaser 6022 color laser printer setup, you have to 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 Phaser recommends an Ethernet connection because it is typically faster than a USB connection, and it provides access to CentreWare Internet Services. Therefore, to connect your printer, follow the below guidelines attentively.

Connecting to a Computer using a USB

To use USB, you must have Windows XP SP1 and the later versions, Windows Server 2003 and the later versions or Macintosh OS X version 10.5 and later. To connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable you have to follow these steps one by one:

1. First of all, you have to ensure that the printer is turned off.
2. Now, take a standard A/B USB 2.0 cable and connect the B end of it to the USB Port which you will find on the back of the Xerox Phaser printer.
3. After that, attach the power cord, and then plug in the printer and turn it on.
4. Now, Connect the A end of the USB cable to the USB Port.
5. When the ‘Windows Found New Hardware’ wizard appears on the screen, just cancel it.
6. Now, you can install the printer drivers to enjoy a hassle-free and error-free printing session.

Connecting to a Wired Network

1. At first, make sure that the printer is turned off.
2. Now, attach a category 5 or better an Ethernet cable from the printer to the network or router socket. You have to use an Ethernet hub or router, and two or more Ethernet cables. First, connect the computer to a hub or router with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub or router with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub or router except the uplink port.
3. After that, attach the power cord, plug in the printer and turn it on.
4. Now, set or automatically discover the network IP address of the printer.
