2. Installation
- Remove the shipping restraints from all four toner cartridges and from the transfer belt door before first power on.
- The first boot runs an initialisation cycle of several minutes. Do not power it off part way through.
- Set the address from the panel, then finish configuration in the Embedded Web Server, which exposes far more settings than the touch screen.
- Change the default administrator password immediately. This model ships with a well-known default and is often reachable across the whole office network.
3. Drivers and network
- Use the Xerox Global Print Driver for mixed estates, or the model driver where you need the full finishing set.
- Scan-to-email and scan-to-folder are configured in the Embedded Web Server, under Apps, not on the panel.
- The device supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria out of the box; enable only what you use, each open protocol is another listening service.
4. Maintenance schedule
Intervals below are for typical office use. Machines in dusty rooms or running heavy graphics need the shorter end of each range.
| Monthly | Clean the ADF rollers and both scan glasses; wipe the bypass tray feed roller. |
|---|---|
| Every toner change | Check the waste container level in the Supplies screen. A full waste container stops the machine outright. |
| Every 60,000 pages | Drum cartridges reach rated life; they are separate from toner and are replaced individually. |
| Quarterly | Print the configuration report and compare the firmware version against the current release. |
5. Common faults
Colour blotches or uneven fill
Run the colour calibration from Device, Support. If it repeats in the same place, one drum cartridge is at fault; the calibration report identifies which.
Machine stops with waste container full
This is a hard stop by design, to prevent contaminating the paper path. Keep a spare container on site.
Faded band down one edge
Toner low on one cartridge, or the transfer belt needs cleaning. Check supply levels before calling for service.
Panel asks for a password nobody knows
The administrator password was changed and not recorded. Recovery requires a service visit; record it in your password manager once reset.
Prints are correct on screen but wrong colour on paper
The application is sending an RGB profile the printer maps differently. For consistent output, set the driver colour mode explicitly rather than leaving it automatic.
