Controller Cables and Connectors

The six communication pathway cables (called out as item 8 on the Back Panel Connector) are described below.

• USB - Scanner to Controller - provides status and image information.

• USB - Printer to Controller - provides status and image information.

• USB - Power Module to Controller - provides status of the front Power Switch and

enables power to the Printer.

• USB - User Interface to the Controller.

• Audio Cable - UI to Controller for speaker tones, such as key beeps and alert tones.

Product Overview

Refer to Chapter 7, Problem Solving, to learn more about errors and problem solving information.

Powering the System On/Off

The Printer and Controller are each equipped with a Power Switch. The Circuit Breaker Switch must be in the ON (up) position to switch the scanner and printer power on and off.

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 Timers section 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 remains dark and the Power Saver button remains illuminated.

1-14

Xerox® 6279® Wide Format Solution

Copy/Scan User Guide

Product Overview

Entering the Power Saver Mode

The Power Saver Mode may be entered either automatically or manually.

Automatic Method

The machine enters the Low Power Mode after a preset period elapses. The machine enters the Sleep Mode from the Low Power Mode if the machine remains idle for an additional, preset period.

Manual Method

Press the Power Saver button on the Control Panel. The button illuminates, the machine enters the Low Power Mode and the Touch Screen backlight extinguishes.

Exiting the Power Saver Mode

The Power Saver mode may be exited either manually or automatically.

Manual Method

With the machine in the Power Saver mode, press the illuminated Power Saver button. The button’s indicator light extinguishes, the Touch Screen displays the message Warming Up, and the machine begins its warm up cycle.

Automatic Method

The machine exits the Power Saver mode when it detects a print job in the active queue.

NOTE

Refer to the System Administration chapter to learn how to customize the Power Saver mode settings. This is a System Administrator only setting.

System Power On Procedure

The procedure below describes the process for powering up the system from a cold start, that is, it assumes that both the Printer and Controller are powered down completely.

1. Move the printer Circuit Breaker switch to the On position (up).

Xerox® 6279® Wide Format Solution Copy/Scan User Guide

Product Overview

2. Move the printer Power switch to the On position (up).

3. Press the Power button on the front of the Controller to turn it on.

The Power button indicator will illuminate. The Control Panel will display the message “Printer Warming Up”. The machine will be print-ready in about 3 minutes.

System Power Off Procedure

CAUTION

Powering down the system incorrectly may result in data corruption and a service call.

The system shutdown selection allows the Controller to power down correctly. System Shutdown is performed through the Web Printer Management Tool or through the System Administration screen. In some environments, only authorized persons will be allowed to power down the system, therefore requiring the System Administrator password.

Xerox® 6279® Wide Format Solution Copy/Scan User Guide

1-17

Product Overview

2. Select Utilities > Shutdown > Shutdown.

NOTE

Xerox® 6279® Wide Format Solution

Copy/Scan User Guide

Product Overview

4. Move the printer Circuit Breaker switch to the Off (down) position.

Checking the Circuit Breaker

The Circuit Breaker opens automatically and removes input power from the machine if a short circuit or current condition occurs.

When the Circuit Breaker Switch is in the up position, input power is supplied to the machine. If the machine will not be used for an extended amount of time, the printer and controller may be powered down.

Check the Circuit Breaker once a month for correct operation. If you notice any unusual conditions, contact your Xerox Customer Support Center.

Product Overview

About Media and Originals

This section describes the kinds of media which are available for this machine, as well as the appropriate media handling, loading and storage procedures.

The use of inappropriate media may result in media jams, reduced print quality, malfunctions and other problems. To make the most effective use of the machine, we suggest that you use only the media recommended by Xerox.

There are several configurations of the 6279 Wide Format Printer for media input. The standard is a one Drawer machine with two rolls. You have the option to upgrade to add a second drawer with two rolls or two cut-sheet media trays.

NOTE

Media may be ordered from Xerox at www.xerox.com in the US. From the home page, select Supplies > Paper and Media Type > For Wide Format Products.

NOTE

A Load or Change Media Type selection will display on the UI, if the Accxes Controller detects that the required media is not loaded in the machine when it receives a print job.

Media Parameters

TIP

The media parameters (size series, type, weight) must be set up when new media is loaded or when the size and type of the media is changed. This information enables the machine’s Accxes Controller to optimize imaging, printing, and fusing based on the media which is selected for a copy or print job.

Refer to Chapter 3 for details on making Media Setups on the User Interface (UI).

Refer to the Accxes Client Tools Overview and Quick Start sections of the HELP menu for details on sending jobs to the printer.

Refer to Chapter 9 for many more details on media specifications.

Originals (Input Documents)

When copying documents, always try the default Image Quality settings first.

These settings have been designed to give the optimum image quality for most documents.

Select the Original/Document type: Photo (Half-tone), Photo (Continuous-tone), Text/Photo, Text/Line, and Text/Line (Clear) default type for that type.
