This device offers two network connections, a wired Ethernet connection and an optional Wi-Fi connection (using an optional Wi-Fi adapter purchased separately).

From the factory, the Ethernet connection is considered the Primary network connection and the Wi-Fi adapter is considered the Secondary network connection.

Several services including Xerox Remote Services are only available through the Primary network and will not work until the Primary network is set to Wi-Fi.

Note: Other services not available over the Secondary network connection include:

  • IPsec

  • EIP Web Service

  • ThinPrint .print

  • UPnP Discovery

  • LDAP

  • Scan to FTP, SMB, Email

  • WSD Scan

  • SNTP

If the device is only connected to the network through the Wi-Fi module, it is recommended to switch the Wi-Fi network to the Primary network.
