How to install Xerox Wireless Print Server

• Power down the printer or device that will receive the plug-in module. Locate the dedicated slot or interface described in your device manual, ensuring you have a compatible model for a plug-in module.
• Insert the Xerox Wireless Print Server module firmly into the designated slot until it seats securely. Confirm that you hear or feel a gentle click indicating a proper connection.
• Power on the printer and access its wireless settings or configuration utility. If your device provides a built-in setup wizard, launch it to begin discovering available networks.
• Connect the printer to your Wi‑Fi network by selecting your SSID and entering the network password. Choose the appropriate security protocol offered by your router (WPA/WPA2 is recommended for best protection).
• Test the connection by printing a basic page from a connected computer or mobile device. If the test page fails, recheck the network credentials, restart the printer, and verify that the router isn’t blocking the device.
• For optimal reliability, ensure firmware on the printer and router is up to date. You may also create a dedicated network or VLAN for print traffic to reduce interference from other devices.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is this compatible with my printer?

  A: The Xerox Wireless Print Server is designed for printers that support plug‑in modules and standard Wi‑Fi networks. Please refer to your printer's documentation and the module’s compatibility guide to confirm model support and any required adapters.

• Q: What Wi‑Fi standard does it use?

  A: It uses IEEE 802.11n in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, offering solid compatibility with a wide range of routers and devices commonly found in homes and small offices.

• Q: How fast can I print?

  A: The maximum data rate is up to 54 Mbit/s, which is adequate for standard text documents, simple graphics, and typical office print jobs. Real-world speeds depend on network conditions, printer capabilities, and file size.

• Q: How should I secure wireless printing?

  A: Use your network’s security features (such as WPA/WPA2) and keep printer firmware up to date. Limit access to trusted devices and consider creating a guest network to isolate print traffic from other business data.

• Q: Can I print from Windows and macOS?

  A: Yes. Once the device is connected to your Wi‑Fi network, Windows and macOS clients can send print jobs through the shared printer as you would with any network printer.

• Q: Do I need a lot of technical knowledge to set it up?

  A: Not typically. The setup process is designed to be straightforward with network discovery, standard security options, and a guided configuration flow. If your printer includes a built‑in configuration tool, follow its prompts for quickest success.
