PC-GUI Introduction
1
and Setup
This document explains how to use the GUI associated with the 490/980 Color Continuous
Feed Printing System. The GUI is located on the Touch Screen directly on the Printer as well as
on a remote PC (the PC-GUI). This document explains all of the GUI operations on both
locations. Unless otherwise noted, operations are found on both the printer as well as the PCGUI. Operational buttons may be located differently on each GUI, but how the operational
button works will be similar.
The PC-GUI is a control software program that is installed on a remote PC. The PC-GUI allows
you to operate your printer from a remote location.
PC-GUI Setup
Before proceeding with the PC-GUI setup, ensure that you do following:
•That you are logged on as an administrator or from a user account with administrator
privileges.
•That the remote PC on which you are about to install the PC-GUI is connected to a network.
•That the display has a minimum 1280 x 1024 screen resolution.
Set up a Remote PC
Before installing the software, you must set up a remote PC. Turn on the remote PC, log on to an
administrator account, and make the following configuration settings:
1.In network settings, set the computer name as XEROX.
2.Select a workgroup as a domain name and set it as WORKGROUP.
3.For the PC-GUI ID, type xerox.
4.For the initial password, type xerox.

Faulted Jobs
Use Restarting a Fault Job to restart a job that has failed during printing. A possible reason
would be an error like paper jam that requires printer recovery.
Handling Fault Job
Printing can be restarted when the printer is ready for printing. Otherwise, printing will fail when
restarting is instructed.
When Print Continuously is selected, the job is printed from the page next to the already printed
page.
The physical page number displayed as the starting page number and output page number is
always an even number in case of duplex printing. If an even re-output page number is set,
printing occurs from the front page.
This screen is not displayed for jobs in IPDS data format.
Fault page information
•Close: The screen is closed without fault job restart setting.
•OK: The specified fault job operation occurs.
•Fault page information: The information on fault page appears.
•Restart Printing: Select when continued printing is desired. The physical page position
where the printing is restarted can be specified.
Print Continuously: Printing restarts from the page next to the finally printed one.
•Physical Page Specification: The page number appearing as the physical page is the
number of printed pages completed before an error occurred and not the number of pages
correctly eliminated from the printer. Therefore, it is necessary to restart printing in
succession with the correctly eliminated pages. Printing restarts from the front side of the
page specified here.
The page number displayed equals the printing completed page number.
•Interrupt Printing (Hold): Select this to hold a job.
•Cancel Printing (Delete): The job being printed is terminated. The job is cancelled from
registration in the queue, and the job data on the spool is deleted.
The job is interrupted in fault status. To restart the job after closing the fault job restart screen,
select and operate the job in the Active Job list.
