Introduction
In this chapter, you will become familiar with the features
of your printer and learn where to locate specific printer
parts.
Before you use your printer, make sure that you perform
all of the setup steps outlined in the Quick Reference Card
that came with your printer. For your convenience, the
installation instructions are also included in this chapter.
See the section “Printer Setup” (page 1-9).
Recognizing that you may have special needs, Xerox offers
several optional printer accessories to better meet your
requirements. These are explained in detail in
Appendix D: Printer Options.
Xerox, or your Xerox authorized reseller, may have
provided some or all of these options. First verify your
exact accessory options before proceeding further. If you
see features described in this section that are not available
with the printer and accessories you have, you can easily
add them yourself. For more information, refer to the
separate Supplies/Options Guide provided with your
printer.

1-6 ❖ DocuPrint P14 User Guide
— User Guide (electronic version of this book)
— Printer Drivers
— Xerox Font Manager
For the printer drivers contained on the CD- ROM, the
majority of documentation is provided via the on-line Help
files included with the drivers. Features and functionality of
the drivers are discussed in Chapter 3: Printing.
Since the CD-ROM contains so much information of
importance, please ensure that you save it and keep it in a safe
place.
Printer Documentation
Using the CD-ROM
The documentation on the CD-ROM is provided as a PDF
file, which is opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader (provided
on the CD-ROM if you do not already have it installed).
This file contains hypertext links that enable you to jump
from the Table of Contents or Index directly to the page
where you are looking for information, as well as from
page to page where information is cross-referenced.
Simply move the cursor over a hypertext link and it
changes to a pointing finger. Then click on the link to
jump to the link’s destination.
The PDF files also enable you to print the specific pages
you need, rather than printing an entire chapter or
manual.
The CD-ROM is provided with an installation booklet in
its jewel case. You can also refer to the ReadMe file on the
CD-ROM for more information.
