The Xerox Installer for Windows automatically performs the following functions to set up your printer:

• Locates your printer on the network.
• Suggests an IP address for the printer if one has not already been assigned (for example, from the front panel or by DHCP). You are given the opportunity to accept the automatically assigned address or assign a different one. For information on other methods of setting the printer's IP address, see Setting the Printer's IP Address.
• Installs PhaserPort for Windows (if not already installed). PhaserPort for Windows is a Xerox port monitor for printing over Windows 95 and Windows 98 TCP/IP peer-to-peer networks.
• Installs the driver.
• Creates a printer in the Printers window.

Choose the procedure appropriate for your environment:

• For installation on a workstation for peer-to-peer printing, see the next topic, Installation on workstations for peer-to-peer printing .
• For installation on workstations when print jobs are to be sent through a print server to the printer, see Installation on workstations for client-server printing.

Installation on workstations for peer-to-peer printing

1. Run the installer as described in Xerox Installer for Windows.
2. When prompted, select Easy Install, Minimal Install, or Custom Install. Continue following the on-screen instructions.
3. The installer attempts to find your printer on the network; if it cannot find the printer, a dialog is displayed prompting you for more information. The on-screen descriptions provide more information.
4. Follow the remaining on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Installation on workstations for client-server printing

Use this procedure to install the printer on workstations when print jobs are to be sent through a print server to the printer.

1. Run the installer as described in Xerox Installer for Windows.
2. When prompted, select Easy Install, Minimal Install, or Custom Install. Continue following the on-screen instructions.
3. The installer searches for the printer:
• If the installer finds the printer (printer device, or physical printer), you must identify the print server queue, so select Choose a different printer. This advances the installer to the next screen, where you can identify the print server queue.
• If the installer does not find the printer (printer device, or physical printer), select Choose the printer myself. This advances the installer to the next screen, where you can identify the print server queue.
4. When prompted: How your printer connected? Select Shared by a network server (client/server).
5. When prompted: Select a printer to set up, browse the displayed Network Neighborhood tree and select the print server queue.
6. Follow the remaining on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Adding a port to an existing printer

Use this procedure to add a port after you have installed the printer.

1. Select your printer:
1. From the Start menu, select Settings, then click Printers.
2. In the Printers window, right-mouse click on your printer.
2. From the pop-up menu, choose Properties.
3. When the properties dialog for the printer is displayed, click Details.
4. Click Add Port, then select Other.
5. Highlight PhaserPort and click OK; this displays the Add PhaserPort dialog.
1. In the Description field, enter a name for the port (this can be the printer name/model, location, or any other descriptive name of your choice), such as Phaser 850.
2. In the Name/Address field, enter the IP address or DNS name of the printer (for example, 192.1.1.2), and click OK.

If you don't know the printer's IP address or DNS name, click Browse to display a list of printers on the network. Double-click the printer you want; PhaserPort automatically enters the information into the Add PhaserPort dialog. To search the network again, click Refresh; to narrow down the search by using subnets, click Advanced.

3. Click OK.
6. Click OK again to apply the changes; the printer driver is now configured to use your new PhaserPort.
