Product Safety and Compliance
Warning!
Do not modify or use any AC power cord other than the one included with
shipping.
In some cases, the supplied power cord may not be compatible with the AC
wall outlet in your region. If this is true, you must obtain a suitable power cord
that meets the following criteria:
The cord must be rated for use at the AC voltage available, with a current
rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the product.
The AC plug end must be terminated in a grounding-type male plug designed
for use in your region. The plug ends must be labeled or marked to indicate
they have been certified by an agency acceptable in your region.
The connector at the product end must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, female
connector (or the equivalent EN 60 320 connector.)
The cord must be less than 14.8 feet (4.5 meters) long and, for use in Europe,
be created with <HAR> (harmonized) or VDE certified cordage.
Warning!
1. The user must never remove chassis covers. Some system circuitry retains
voltage even when the system is turned off. Only qualified service technicians
should remove chassis covers.
2. There are no user-serviceable components in the KPG server. Refer all
system repair to a qualified service technician.
Warning!
The power supply voltage standby circuit is active when the computer is
turned off. Ensure that the computer is disconnected from its power source
and from all telecommunication links, networks, or modem lines whenever the
chassis cover is removed. Do not operate the computer with the cover
removed. Only qualified service technicians should remove chassis covers if
repair or component replacement is required.
Warning!
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

Quick Start Steps
To quickly get your system set up for printing from the client, go through the
following procedures listed in the order shown:

Step 2. Printer Setup
The software is shipped to you with the Printer Settings already set. However, you
should confirm that the Media Settings (media type and size) for each tray match
what is in your DocuColor 12.
Note: If the printer is deleted, you will need to perform the following printer
setup instructions.
To add a printer or change printer settings, complete the following steps:
1. If you have had previous versions of the Matchprint Professional Server
on your system, delete previous printers prior to adding new ones. If the
system asks you if you want to delete previous files used only with this
printer, select Yes.
2. Go to Printer > Add Printer or select Xerox DocuColor 12 (or the name of
the printer you need to change). The Printer Settings window displays:

Tray 6 (High Capacity Feeder) – Optional: Media Type - Normal Bond,
Media Size - Letter (8.5 x 11 inches)
Notes:
• Tray 5 is a manual feed tray located on the left side of the Xerox
DocuColor 12. (Tray 5 is not configured here.)
• Load paper so the watermark wording is face down in the tray.
• The DocuColor 12 can be set to disable automatic tray switching,
however the Matchprint Professional Server overrides this setting if
the job's parameters are set to Automatically Select the input
tray. Go to the Setting Job Parameters, Printer tab in the online
help or the user guide.pdf for more information.
Step 3. Printer Calibration
KPG recommends daily calibration and recalibration each time the printer is serviced.
Calibrate for Bond medias using the following Xerox Color Xpressions media. When
using supplied profiles and device links for premium medias, printer calibration must
use the Matchprint Co-Branded Xerox Color Laser Proofing Paper. This is the only
premium paper authorized by KPG and Xerox to accurately simulate Matchprint color.
The Color Profiles and Device Links supplied for normal, heavyweight, and extra
heavyweight bond were all created using the following Xerox media:
• Normal Bond: Xerox Color Xpressions 24 lb., Bright White 96 paper.
• Heavyweight Bond: Xerox Color Xpressions 60 lb., Bright White 96 paper.
• Extra Heavyweight Bond: Xerox Color Xpressions 80 lb., Bright White 98
paper.
Important! If a media other than the recommended Xerox media is used, the
following error appears: “Warning! The media used for calibration appears to be
significantly different from the Normal Bond (or Heavyweight) media recommended
for used with this application. Results of the calibration on this media may not be
typical.”
Printer calibration can be performed internally by using the DocuColor 12 built-in
scanner or by using the Spectrostar Spectrocam, an external measurement device.
Both procedures are described in this section. If calibration is to be performed using
the Spectrocam, please go through the following Spectrocam Setup instructions
before beginning the calibration process.
If calibration is to be performed using the DocuColor 12 scanner, please skip to the
section titled, Calibration Procedure.
