Supplies
The printer’s front panel displays status messages and warnings as the supply nears its 
replacement time. When the front panel prompts you that a supply is low or needs to be 
replaced, verify that you have replacements on hand. It is important to order these supplies 
when the messages first appear to avoid interruptions to your printing.
To order supplies, contact your local reseller or visit the Xerox web site at www.xerox.com/
office/4500supplies.
Consuma bl e s
The only consumables for this printer are the Xerox print cartridges. To order print cartridges, 
contact your local reseller or visit the Xerox web site at 
www.xerox.com/office/4500supplies.
Caution
If you attempt to use a non-Xerox print cartridge, it may not fit properly in the printer. If 
the cartridge does not fit properly, the printer will not function.
Routi ne  Ma i nte na nce  Ite ms
Routine maintenance items are printer parts or assemblies that have a limited life requiring 
periodic replacement. Replacements may be in the form of parts or kits. Routine Maintenance 
Items are typically customer replaceable. 
The only routine maintenance item for the Phaser 4500 Laser Printer is the maintenance kit. 
Access the “Supplies Info” menu from the printer’s front panel to see the remaining life for the 
maintenance kit.
Access the “Supplies Usage Page” from the printer’s front panel, from CentreWare IS, or print 
the “Usage Profile” from the printer’s front panel.

Pri nte r Se tup
Ethe rne t Conne cti on (Re comme nde d)
An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB cable connection. It 
also allows the user direct access to CentreWare
 IS.
Ne twork Conne cti on
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.
Sta nda l one  (Ca bl e  or DSL) Ne twork Conne cti on
For information about setting up a cable or DSL connection for your printer, go to 
www.xerox.com/office/infoSMART to view Document # 33188, entitled Basic TCP/IP 
Tutorial and Home Networking Guidelines.
Se tti ng a n IP Addre ss
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.
For more information, go to www.xerox.com/office/infoSMART to view Document # 18545.
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.

Usi ng Host Na me s wi th the  Doma i n Na me  Se rvi ce  (DNS)
The printer supports DNS through an embedded DNS resolver. The DNS resolver protocol 
communicates with one or more DNS servers to resolve the IP address for a given host name 
or the host name for a given IP address. 
To use an IP host name for the printer, the system administrator must configure one or more 
DNS servers and a local DNS domain name space database.
To set up the printer for DNS, supply a maximum of two DNS name server IP addresses. 
There are two ways to set up the printer:
■TCP/IP–Go to “DNS Setup Using CentreWare Internet Services.” 
■DHCP–Go to “Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS).”
DNS Setup Using CentreWare Internet Services
