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.
The Procedure for checking the Circuit Breaker is as follows:
1. Perform steps 1 and 2 of the System Power Off Procedure.
2. Press the Test button while the Circuit Breaker switch is in the on (up) position. If the Circuit Breaker turns off, it is operating correctly.
3. Reset the printer Circuit Breaker switch and perform the System Power On Procedure.

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 machines 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.

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.
The printer has a paper heater. This goes on when the system detects humidity. The switch is located next to the waste toner bottle on the right hand side of the machine.
Store the media on a flat surface to prevent curl.

Loading Roll Media

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.
When changing the Media Type, Size or Weight, make sure you change the media settings before printing jobs.

Resolution
The printer measures how fine a printer can print the images. This measurement is known as dots per inch, or "dpi." The greater the dpi, the better the image. Select from the available options below:
600 DPI
400 DPI
300 DPI
200 DPI
150 DPI

Step 5: Scanning the Document

Follow the procedure below to scan your document(s).
A document jam may occur if you press down too hard on the original, pull it during scanning, or release it before it stops feeding.
To prevent document jams when copying originals that contain holes, orient the original so that the holes feed in last.
The original guide can be moved to the right to scan an oversized original, or an original with hanging holes.
1. Orient the original, image face down on the Scanner Feed-in Shelf, with the one edge aligned with the Original Guide.
2. Evenly insert the lead edge into the scanner. When the scanner detects the original it will feed it a short distance (prefeed) and stop briefly, then complete the scan automatically.
If the document does not feed automatically, the Scan Start mode may be set to Use Start Key. In this case, press the Start button on the Control Panel. This is a System Administrator configuration setting. Refer to Chapter 5, System Administration
Set Start Scan Mode for more details.

If the problem occurs during scanning, an error message will appear on the touch screen. Solve the problem as instructed in the message.
3. If the scanner is equipped with Front Return Guides, the original will exit to the front of the machine. You may wish to guide the lead edge of the original as it travels toward you.
TIP
Remove the Front Return Guides before copying an original that may not flex and flow easily along them. This will prevent the guides from falling off of the machine and getting damaged.
NOTE
The system will automatically assign a file name, 0000nnnn.xxx (where n is the sequential number assigned to the image file, and xxx is the selected file type extension, e.g., TIFF, PDF, etc.).
NOTE
If the Preview Generation option on the Advanced Settings tab is enabled, a thumbnail will be created in a JPG format for you.

Step 6: Stopping a Scan Job

Follow the procedure below to stop the scanning of an original.
Press the Stop button while an original is being scanned or is just exiting the scanner. Scanning will stop immediately.
NOTE
If you press the Stop button after the original completes its scan and printing begins, the key press will have no effect. If this happens, refer to the section below.
If the original is still in the scanner when scanning stops, a Clear Pathway message will display. Remove the original by performing the steps listed on the Touch Screen in the Message Display area.

Step 7: Retrieving Files Stored in a Mailbox

Import the scanned data stored in your mailbox to your computer.
Refer to the FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools Customer Training Guide for instructions on importing files to your computer.

Naming Scanned Files

When scanning jobs to a file destination you assign a filename and organize them within groups using a customized naming convention or allow default naming to occur.
This feature is available for the following:
Scan-to-Mailbox
Scan-to-Removable Devices
Scan-to-FTP
Auto Indexing:
When Auto Indexing is enabled, files get a default name of XWF-0000.tif (Xerox Wide Format - XWF).
The Base File Name, or prefix, is used with the number indexing automatically for each scanned document that follows.
The default is Auto Indexing on.
Base Files Names can also be customized for easy filing and identification.
Each Destination is independant, therefore, names can be duplicated and not conflict and be invalid. If a filename is posted as <invalid> there are three options for resolution:
Select Auto Indexing
Rename the file
Change the destination
Without Auto Indexing:
When Auto Indexing is deselected, you enter the name manually and save it.
If the name already exists, an Invalid Base File Name error message displays after each successful scan. Change the Base File Name to resolve.
To reset the Base File Name and Destination, select the Clear button located on the Control Panel.
To reset indexing to zero, remove or retrieve scanned files from that destination.
