User Safety

Your printer and the recommended supplies have been designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. Attention to the following information ensures the continued safe operation of your printer.

Electrical Safety

• Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
• Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Make sure each end of the cord is securely connected. If you do not know if an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check the outlet.
• Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not have a ground connection terminal.
• Do not use an extension cord or power strip.
• Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is capable of providing the correct voltage and power. Review the printer's electrical specification with an electrician if necessary.

Warning: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is properly grounded. Electrical products may be hazardous if misused.

• Do not place the printer in an area where people might step on the power cord.
• Do not place objects on the power cord.
• Do not block the ventilation openings. These openings are provided to prevent overheating of the printer.
• Do not drop paper clips or staples into the printer.

Warning: Do not push objects into slots or openings on the printer. Making contact with a voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.

If you notice unusual noises or odors:

1. Turn off the printer immediately.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Call an authorized service representative to correct the problem.

The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device at the back of the printer. If it is necessary to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Warning: Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are installing optional equipment and are specifically instructed to do so. Power should be OFF when performing these installations. Except for user-installable options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.

Note: Leave the printer on for optimum performance; it does not pose a safety hazard. If however the printer will not be used over an extended period of time, it should be turned off and unplugged.

The following are hazards to your safety:

• The power cord is damaged or frayed.
• Liquid is spilled into the printer.
• The printer is exposed to water.

If any of these conditions occur, do the following:

1. Turn off the printer immediately.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Call an authorized service representative.

Laser Safety

With specific regard to lasers, this printer complies with laser product performance standards set by governmental, national, and international agencies and is certified as a Class 1 Laser Product. The printer does not emit hazardous light because the beam is totally enclosed during all modes of customer operation and maintenance.

Maintenance Safety

• Do not attempt any maintenance procedure that is not specifically described in the documentation supplied with your printer.
• Do not use aerosol cleaners. The use of supplies that are not approved may cause poor performance and could create a hazardous condition.
• Do not attempt to open, reuse, or burn any consumables or routine maintenance items. For information on Xerox supplies recycling programs, go to www.xerox.com/gwa.

- 60 cm (23.6 in.) in front of the printer
- 10 cm (3.9 in.) on the left side of the printer
- 10 cm (3.9 in.) on the right side of the printer

Operational Guidelines

• Do not block or cover the slots and openings on the printer. The printer may overheat without adequate ventilation.
• For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations below 3,500 m (11,480 ft.).
• Do not place the printer near a heat source.
• Do not place the printer in direct sunlight to avoid exposing light-sensitive components when the doors are open.

• Do not place the printer in line with the cold air flow from an air conditioning system.

• Place the printer on a level, solid non-vibrating surface with adequate strength for the weight of the printer. It should be within 1^ of horizontal with all four feet in solid contact with the surface. The printer weight with the duplex unit and consumables is 29.25 kg (64.5 lb.).

• Do not place the printer in locations exposed to magnetic forces.
• Do not place the printer in damp locations.
• Do not place the printer in locations susceptible to vibrations.

Printing Safety Guidelines

• Wait 10-15 seconds between turning the printer off and on.
• Keep hands, hair, neckties, etc., away from the exit and feed rollers.

When the printer is printing:

• Do not remove the paper source tray that you selected in either the printer driver or control panel.
• Do not open the doors.
• Do not move the printer.

Printer Supplies

• Use the supplies specifically designed for your printer. The use of unsuitable materials may cause poor performance and a possible safety hazard.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the printer, options, and supplies.

Note: If the Software and Documentation CD-ROM is not available, you can download the latest driver from www.xerox.com/drivers.

Choosing a Connection Method

Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A USB connection is a direct connection and is not used for networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. This section includes:

• Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended) on page 33
- Connecting via USB on page 34

Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended)

Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB connection. It also allows you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services (IS). The CentreWare IS web interface enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop. To reach CentreWare Internet Services, see Starting CentreWare IS on page 145.

Network Connection

Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for Ethernet.

• If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.
• If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, or cable or DSL router, two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for each device.)

If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port.

Connecting via USB

If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. A USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or newer. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.3 and higher.

USB Connection

A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB cable for your connection (2.0 for best results).

1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

Configuring the Network Address

This section includes:

• TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 35
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer's IP Address on page 36
- Manually Setting the Printer's IP Address on page 37

TCP/IP and IP Addresses

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 using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer's Internet Protocol (IP) address.

PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. 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.

Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to talk to a networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, Bonjour does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.

Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your router's documentation for information on IP addressing.

Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer's IP Address

There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer's IP address:

• DHCP (enabled by default on all Phaser printers)
• Auto IP

You can turn on/off both protocols using the control panel, or use CentreWare IS to turn on/off DHCP.

Note: You can view the printer's IP address at any time. On the control panel, select Menu.

Then select Information Pgs and press the OK button. Finally, select Configuration, and then press the OK button.

Using the Control Panel

To turn on/off either the DHCP or AutoIP protocol:

1. On the control panel, select the Menu button.
2. Select the Admin menu, and then press the OK button.
3. Select the Network Setup menu, and then press the OK button.
4. Select the TCP/IP menu, and then press the OK button.
5. Select IPv4, and then press the OK button.
6. Select Get IP Address, and then press the OK button.
7. Select DHCP, and then press the OK button.

Using CentreWare IS

To turn on/off the DHCP protocol:

1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in the browser's Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
3. Select Properties.
4. Select the Protocols folder on the left navigation panel.
5. Select TCP/IP.
6. In the Get IP Address field, select the DHCP/Autonet option.
7. Click the Save Changes button.

Manually Setting the Printer's IP Address

Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network. Contact your network administrator for more information.

If you are on a network without a DHCP server, or in an environment where the network administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can manually set the IP address.

Information Required for Manual IP Addressing

Information Comments
Internet Protocol (IP) address of the printer	Format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx represents a decimal number from 0–255.

Paper Usage Guidelines

The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other specialty media. Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:

• Envelopes and transparencies can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.
• Fan paper, transparencies, or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.
• Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
• Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with release strips.
• All envelopes should be printed single-sided only.
• Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
• Do not overload the paper trays. Do not load paper above the fill line on the inside of the paper guide.
• Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. For Trays 2–3, the paper guides click into place when they are adjusted correctly.
• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer

Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.

Unacceptable media includes:

• Rough or porous media
• Plastic media other than supported transparencies
  • Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with staples
• Envelopes with windows or metal clasps
• Padded envelopes
  • Non-laser glossy or coated paper
• Perforated media

Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print quality.

• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than outside walls where moisture can collect.
• Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
• Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags.

• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
• Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
• Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of the envelopes.
• If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made specifically for laser printers.

Caution: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please contact your local representative for details.

Loading Envelopes

#Status Set this when you want to check the printer status.
#SetMsgAddr Recipient E-mail address	Use this command to specify the e-mail address to which e-mail reports are sent to. This command can only be used when the full access password is specified by the #Password command.

Example of Commands

1. When the read only password is "ronly", and to check the printer status:

Password ronly

Status

1. When the full access password is "admin", and to set the recipient e-mail address to "[e-mail]":

Password admin

SetMsgAddr [e-mail]

1. When the full access password is "admin", and to set the recipient e-mail address to "[e-mail]", then confirm the setting result on the network settings list:

Password admin

SetMsgAddr [e-mail]

NetworkInfo

Note: Describe the “#SetMsgAddr” command before the “#NetworkInfo” command. If they are written in reverse, the information retrieved by the “#NetworkInfo” command and the result of executing the “#SetMsgAddr” command may differ.

Checking Page Counts

The total number of printed pages can be checked at the control panel. Three meters are available: Total Impressions, Color Impressions, and Black Impressions.

The billing meter counts the number of pages printed properly. Single side print (including N-up) is counted as one impression, and 2-sided print (including N-up) is counted as two. During duplex printing, if an error occurs after one side is printed properly, it is counted as one.

When printing color data, that has been converted by using ICC profile on an application, with the Color (Auto) setting, the data is printed by color even if it seems to be black and white data on the monitor. In that case, Color Impressions is increased.

Note: Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting count as color pages, because color consumables are used. This is the default setting on most printers.

When doing 2 sided printing, a blank page may be inserted automatically depending on the settings on the application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page.

Use the following procedure to check a meter:

1. Press the Menu button.
2. Press either the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button until Billing Meter is displayed, and then press the Forward Arrow or OK button.
3. Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button until the desired meter is displayed.
4. After checking, press the Menu button.

Moving the Printer

Carry out the following procedure when moving the printer.

To view precautions and guidelines for safely moving your printer, see User Safety on page 8.

The printer, configured with the optional accessories, paper trays, and consumables, weighs 24.5 kg (54 lb.).

When moving the equipment, make sure that there are two or more persons carrying it.

When lifting the printer, be sure to observe the following points. Failure to do so may cause the printer to fall and result in injuries.

Two persons, one facing the front of the printer (control panel) and the other facing the back, should firmly grip the recessed areas on the bottom part of both sides of the printer. Never try to lift the printer by gripping any other areas.

24.5 kg 54 lb. 6280-040

Warning: If the 550-Sheet Feeder (optional) has been installed, uninstall it before moving the printer. If these are not fixed securely to the printer, they may fall to the ground and cause injuries. For details on how to uninstall the options, refer to the instructions sheet that is bundled with each option.

Note: The front side of this printer is heavier than the rear. Take note of this difference in weight when moving the printer.

1. Turn off the printer.
