Printer Setup

The information in this section is also stored as an information page in your printer. Use the front panel to quickly print this information in the future.

Ethernet Connection (Recommended)

An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than either a USB or Parallel cable connection. It also allows the user direct access to CentreWare IS.

Network Connection

Use an Ethernet connection with two twisted-pair (Category 5/RJ-45) cables and an Ethernet hub. Connect the computer to the hub with one cable, then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port. TCP/IP and EtherTalk are the most common protocols used with Ethernet cables. To print using TCP/IP, each computer and printer requires a unique IP address. Go to “Setting an IP Address” in this section.

Standalone (Cable or DSL) Network Connection

For information about setting up a cable or DSL connection for your printer, go to www.xerox.com/officeprinting/infoSMART to view Document # 33188, entitled Basic TCP/ IP Tutorial and Home Networking Guidelines.

Setting an IP Address

If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.

If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your computer over Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s IP address.

The printer and computer(s) must have unique IP addresses. It is important that the addresses are similar, but not the same. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.

6250 specifications

The Xerox 6250 is a notable model in the history of photocopying technology, which emerged in the mid-1980s as a part of Xerox's line of high-performance copiers. Designed to meet the demands of small to medium-sized businesses, the Xerox 6250 was celebrated for its innovative features and robust capabilities, allowing it to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.

One of the main features of the Xerox 6250 is its ability to produce high-quality monochrome copies. The machine operates at a sharp resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi), which ensures that text and images are reproduced with clarity and precision. It can handle a variety of paper sizes and types, including letter, legal, and even larger formats, making it suitable for diverse office needs.

A significant technological advancement featured in the Xerox 6250 is its electrostatic copying process. This technology enhances the overall efficiency and speed of copying, with the machine capable of producing up to 25 copies per minute. In addition, it includes an automatic document feeder (ADF), allowing users to load multiple-page documents for hassle-free copying, further streamlining workflow in busy office environments.

The Xerox 6250 also includes a user-friendly interface, featuring a simple control panel that facilitates easy operation. Users can easily select copy settings and make adjustments as needed, minimizing training time for new employees. Moreover, the device supports automatic duplexing, which enables users to produce double-sided copies efficiently, saving paper and reducing waste.

Another important characteristic of the Xerox 6250 is its reliability and durability. Built with robust components, this copier was designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, making it a trusted choice for many organizations. Maintenance is also straightforward, with easily accessible components that simplify servicing and replacement tasks.

With a compact footprint, the Xerox 6250 can seamlessly fit in various office settings, maximizing space without compromising functionality. Overall, the Xerox 6250 represents a significant step forward in copying technology, combining high-quality output, user-friendly design, and reliable performance, which has led to its lasting impact in the world of office equipment.
