Power Connection
Two power specifications are listed below. The specifications that apply to your machine depend on
your machine configuration and the requirements in your country. Connect the power plug only to a
properly rated and grounded power outlet to avoid the chance of electric shock. If in doubt, contact
your Xerox Customer Support Center.

Rated frequency50/60Hz
2. Rated voltage220-240VAC (-10% to +6%) @ 10.0A current
Rated frequency50/60Hz
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can
cause connection problems over time.
Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe, or damage the power cord in any way. Do not place heavy
objects on the cord because that can also damage the cord.
Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noises or smells,
or if water, coffee, or other liquids are spilled on the machine. Immediately turn off the machine and
unplug it. Then contact your Xerox Customer Support Center.

Powering the System On/Off
Although the printer and controller may be powered on and off manually, the recommended
procedure is to allow the Power Saver feature to manage the machine power.
Using the Power Saver Feature
The Power Saver feature automatically reduces the power consumption when no print data is received
within a preset period. The Power Saver feature has two modes, [Low Power mode] and [Sleep mode].
The machine enters the [Low Power mode] after a preset period elapses. The machine transitions to
the [Sleep mode] from the [Low Power mode] if the machine remains idle for an additional period.
Note
Refer to the section on Timers to learn how to customize the Power Saver mode settings.
Low Power Mode
In this mode, the power to the control panel and the fuser is reduced. As the machine enters the [Low
Power mode], the touch screen shuts down and the <Power Saver> button on the control panel
illuminates.
Sleep Mode
In this mode, the power is reduced more than in the [Low Power mode]. During the transition from the
Low Power mode to the Sleep mode, the touch screen will remain dark and the <Power Saver> button
will remain illuminated.

Usable Originals
Originals that match any of the following sizes may be used.
Original Type Original Size Thickness
Standard See the Original Size Series table on the next page for a
list of the sizes of originals that can be used with the
Xerox 6204 Wide Format Solution.
Non-standard Width: 7.2 - 36 inches (182 - 914.4 mm)
Length: 8.3 - 59 inches (210-15000 mm)
Flat paper (0.05 - 3.2 mm)
Use the Document Carrier for These Originals
Use the document carrier for the following:
• Originals that are perforated, creased, heavily curled, or torn
• Originals on which glue or adhesive tape has been applied.
Precautions When Handling Originals
Observe the following precautions when handling originals:
• The scanning area may become soiled if originals to which glue, adhesive tape, or correction
fluids have been applied are placed in the scanner. Stick or spray glues may soil the scanning area,
causing black lines to appear on copies.
• Use caution with originals that have been folded, wrinkled, torn, or had holes punched in them.
These may result in document jams and tearing.
• When rolled originals are used, ensure that the diameter of the roll is 1.6"
(40 mm) or larger. Rolls with a diameter of less than 1.6" must be flattened on the lead edge to
scan correctly.
• When scanning thick originals, support them lightly with your hands while they scan.

Product Overview
Storing Media
The optimum environment in which to store paper media is a humidity of 40 to 45%. Keep the
following in mind when storing paper media:
• Moisture is not good for media. For storage, wrap the media in wrapping paper and store it in a
comparatively dry place. Tracing paper, especially, should be put in a plastic or moisture-proof bag
that contains desiccant.
• When the machine is not used for a long period of time, remove the media and store it
appropriately.
Loading Media
Roll Media
WARNING: Be careful not to pinch your fingers when you set the roll media in the media drawer.
Load the roll media on Roll 1 or the optional Roll 2.
When changing the media type, size, or weight, make sure to change the media settings before
starting copying. For information about the set up procedure, refer to the section on Media Settings.
1. Open the front doors.
2. Pull out the drawer for Roll 1 or Roll 2.

WARNING: Do not open the Roll 1 or the Roll 2 cutter cover unless you are specifically directed to
do so.
8. Press the cutter button to cut the lead edge of roll media.

Step 3 - Scanning the Original
Follow the procedure below to scan the original.
Notes
• A document jam may occur if you pull or press down too hard on an original while it
scans.
• To prevent document jams when copying originals that contain holes, orient the original
so that the holes feed in last.
1. Orient the original face down, with one edge aligned with the original guide, and then evenly
insert the lead edge into the scanner. When the scanner detects the original, it will feed it a short
distance and stop briefly, then complete the scan automatically.
Copy
Notes
• Hold the original down flat with two hands (one on either side of the arrow shown in the
graphic) while it feeds into the starting position. Doing this helps prevent wrinkles that
may result in dark areas on the copy. The document may jam if you release it before it
stops feeding.
• If the document does not feed automatically, the Scan Start mode may be set to
[Manual Start]. In this case, press the <Start> button. For more information, refer to the
section on Scan Start.
• The original guide can be moved to the right to scan an oversized original, or an original
with hanging holes.
• If a problem occurs during scanning, an error message will appear on the touch screen.
Solve the problem as instructed in the message.
2. If the scanner is equipped with front return guides, the original will exit toward the front of the
machine. You may wish to guide the lead edge of the original as it travels toward you.

Creating Collated Copies
Collated copies can be produced for jobs that involve multiple originals. The originals in the set also can
be mixed, that is, of different types (text, photo, etc.). A maximum of 256 pages may be scanned in
each collation job. The factory default setting for Collation is [None].
Note
For uncollated copies, the machine prints the specified quantity of the first page, then the
specified quantity of the next, and so on. For collated output, the machine sorts the copies into
sets.
