No
Usb port is for diagnostic.
Ethernet is scanner port

No, the DC250 does not have any built-in printing functionality. On this particular lineage of machines (DC240/250 > DC242/252/260 > C550/560/570 > C60/C70 > C9065/C9075), it was not until the Color 550/560/570 series that they implemented the option of a built-in print function.

The "enhanced" version of this family (DCP700/700i, DCP770, C75, J75, V80/180) never implemented the option. They all require a print server.

The WorkCentre versions of the DC240/250 had their own options. The 76xx series didn't use a Fiery print server, but did still require a Xerox print server to print (or even boot up -- they can't be copy only machines). The 77xx series built this Xerox print server internal, and also had the option of a Fiery print server on top of that. Once the Color 550/560/570 came out, with its built-in print option, the WorkCentre version was retired.

You'll have to repair your Fiery. Until then, you have a copy (only) machine.

Yep, Caffeine summed it up perfectly. What's the issue with your Fiery?

Unplug the Fiery from the RJ45 jack on the DC250, and replace it with cable from your network. Go into admin settings and configure the ip address, etc.

Had same problem on a C60 recently and configured network for DHCP. Restarted printer and the network configuration populated and was able to send jobs like it was a desktop printer. Of course, you have to add that printer to you Windows printers and maybe download the driver from Xerox.

If you are xerox tech then you should know that it is not possible to print on xerox dc240 without fiery.
C550 and C60 have internal print conroller so it is possible to print on them without fiery

Plus I literally just explained that, in detail, two posts above... haha

Unless it has the Ethernet interface card installed. BTW, I am a Xerox tech.

Ethernet port on dc250 can not be used for printing.

Re: Fiery for DC250 not working

The ethernet interface card is for transferring scans only. The DC250 does NOT have on-board RIP capabilities.

I was basing my response on info in the Document Centre 400/350/250 User Guide, section 2.2 where the procedure for installation is described. In part, it states "If you want to use the Ethernet interface, you need to install the optional interface card (100Base-TX, 10Base-T or 10Base-5) first. This section explains the procedure for installing the Ethernet interface card and for connecting by the Ethernet interface."

I downloaded the manual from FujiXerox.

Maybe it's not applicable to USA machines..... and since I've never worked on this box, the original response to my post may be correct.

Typically by DC250 we mean DocuColor 250. I don't think anyone discusses those dreaded Document Centres
