Electrical Safety

General Guidelines

WARNING: Do not push objects into slots or openings on the printer. Making contact with a

voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.

WARNING: Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are

installing optional equipment and are specifically instructed to do so. Power should be OFF when performing these installations. Disconnect the power cord when removing covers and guards for installing optional equipment. Except for user-installable options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.

The following are hazards to your safety:

• The power cord is damaged or frayed.

• Liquid is spilled into the printer.

• The printer is exposed to water.

If any of these conditions occur, do the following:

1. Turn off the printer immediately.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

3. Call an authorized service representative.

Power Cord

• Use the power cord supplied with your printer.

• Plug the power cord directly into a properly-grounded electrical outlet. Make sure each end of the cord is securely connected. If you do not know if an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check the outlet.

• Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not have a ground connection terminal.

WARNING: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is properly

grounded. Electrical products may be hazardous if misused.

• Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is capable of providing the correct voltage and power. Review the printer’s electrical specification with an electrician if necessary.

• Do not place the printer in an area where people might step on the power cord.

• Do not place objects on the power cord.

ColorQube 8570/8870 Color Printer User Guide

Safety

The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device at the right rear corner of the printer. If it is necessary to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Note: Leave the printer on for optimum performance and to preserve ink; it does not pose a safety

hazard.

Installation and Setup

Installation and Setup Overview

This section includes:

• Choosing a Connection Method on page 30

• Connecting to a Network on page 31

• Connecting Directly Using USB on page 31

Before you can use your printer, you must:

1. Make sure the printer is connected correctly and turned on.

2. Install software drivers and utilities. The software installation procedure depends on your connection type (network or USB).

3. Configure the software.

Choosing a Connection Method

You can connect to your printer over a network using an Ethernet cable, or directly using a USB cable. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers, network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet and USB cables are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately.

Printing the Connection Setup Page

Your printer comes with a Connection Setup information page, which includes illustrations, to help you with setup. The Connection Setup page is set to print the first time the printer is turned on if there is paper in one of the trays. If you need to print the page again, use the following instructions.

To print the Connection Setup page:

1. Plug in the printer, turn it on, then let it warm up.

2. On the printer control panel, select Printer Setup and then press the OK button.

3. Select Connection Setup > OK.

4. Select Connection Setup Page > OK.

Note: For more connection information and illustrations, refer to the Installation Guide that came

packaged with your printer.

ColorQube 8570/8870 Color Printer User Guide

Installation and Setup

Connecting to a Network

If your computer is connected to an office network or a home network, whether a hard-wired connection or wireless, you will use an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network. An Ethernet network can be used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is typically faster than a USB connection and it allows you direct access to the printer’s settings using CentreWare® Internet Services.

To connect the printer to a network:

1. Before turning on the printer, attach a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable from the printer to the network or router socket.

You will need an Ethernet hub, or a DSL or Cable router (direct or wireless), and two or more Category 5 or better Ethernet cables (one cable for each device). To connect using an Ethernet hub or router, first connect the computer to the hub/router with one cable and then connect the printer to the hub/router with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub/router except the uplink port.

2. Attach the power cord and then plug in the printer and turn it on. For safety information, see

Electrical Safety on page 10.

3. Either manually set or automatically discover the printer’s IP (network) address. If your company has a system administrator, ask that person for the printer’s IP address. For details, see Assigning

the Printer’s IP Address on page 32.

Connecting Directly Using USB

If you are connecting the printer to one computer and do not have a network, you can use a USB connection. To use USB, PC users must have Microsoft XP SP1/Server 2003 or later. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.3 or higher.

Note: A USB connection does not provide access to CentreWare® Internet Services, nor does it

allow bi-directional communication within the printer driver to provide, for example, information such as the status of paper loaded in the trays.

To connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable:

1. Attach the power cord and then plug in the printer and turn it on. For safety information, see

Electrical Safety on page 10.

2. Connect one end of a standard A/B USB 2.0 cable to the printer’s USB port. For the location of the USB port, see Right-Side View on page 19.

3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer’s USB port.

4. When the Windows Found New Hardware Wizard appears, cancel it.

5. You are ready to install the printer drivers. Go to Installing the Software on page 41.

Assigning the Printer’s IP Address

This section includes:

• Automatically Assigning the IPv4 Address on page 32

• Manually Assigning the IPv4 Address on page 33

• Configuring IPv6 on page 34

• Resetting the TCP/IP Configuration on page 38

If your computer is on a large network, contact the network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.

If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address.

The IP address can be assigned automatically by using the AutoIP protocol or the DHCP protocol, or manually by specifying a fixed address. Network addresses assigned by DHCP are temporary, however. After a specified time, the network may assign a new IP address to the printer, which may cause a connectivity problem for you. To fix this, or if your network administrator requires a static IP address for the printer, you can assign the IP address to the printer manually. For details, see Manually Assigning

the IPv4 Address on page 33.

Automatically Assigning the IPv4 Address

By default, your printer is set to be recognized automatically by the network to which it is connected, acquiring an IP address using DHCP. In this case, you do not need to do anything except write down the printer’s IP address; you will need it for accessing CentreWare® Internet Services and installing the software. After the printer is connected to the network, it will automatically seek an available IP address.

Notes:

• For the automatic Installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established

TCP/I P n etwork.

• You can view your printer’s IP address at any time from either the Configuration page or

the printer control panel. For details, see Finding the Printer’s IP Address on page 40.

If you need to assign the IP address using a method other than DHCP or for a protocol other than IPv4, such as IPv6, see Configuring IPv6 on page 34, or refer to the CentreWare® Internet Services online help.

ColorQube 8570/8870 Color Printer User Guide

Installation and Setup

Manually Assigning the IPv4 Address

Notes:

• These instructions are for connecting using the IPv4 protocol. For details on IPv6, see Configuring IPv6 on page 34, or refer to the CentreWare® Internet Services online help.

• Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network.

Contact the network administrator for more information.

If you are on a network without a DNS server, or in an environment where the network administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP address. If you are in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can also manually set the IP address using this method.

Notes:

• When assigning the IP address manually, you will need to supply a Network Mask

address. If you are unsure of what this is, leave it blank. The printer will choose an appropriate network mask address.

• When assigning the IP address manually, you will need to supply a default router or

gateway address. The router address is required to communicate with the host device from anywhere other than the local network segment.

To manually set the IP address from the printer control panel using IPv4:

1. On the printer control panel, select Printer Setup and then press the OK button.

2. Select Connection Setup > OK.

3. Select Network Setup > OK.

4. Select TCP/IPv4 Setup > OK.

5. At IPv4, check the setting. If the setting is Off, press OK to change it to On.

6. Select DHCP/BOOTP > OK to set it to Off.

7. Select AutoIP > OK to set it to Off.

8. Select IPv4 Address: > OK.

9. Use the arrow buttons and the OK button to enter the IP address. The IP address is composed of four banks of numbers separated by periods: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. At the first bank of numbers, use the Up and Down Arrow buttons to select the first number in the address and then press OK to set the number and move to the next bank of numbers. Repeat the process for the remaining banks of numbers.

10. Press OK. The printer will display a message that it is checking for duplicate IP address numbers. If it does not find any, you are done. If the number you entered is already being used by the network, you will need to enter a different address.

Installation and Setup

Setting the Interface ID

Your IPv6-enabled printer has one interface with multiple addresses. The Interface ID is the part of the address after the prefix. The printer uses the Interface ID when assigning both the Link-Local address and automatic addresses that use router supplied prefixes. It is not used in addresses supplied by DHCPv6. Link-Local addresses are used by nodes to communicate with other nodes on the same local network. Two options are available for setting the Interface ID:

• The default is to have the Interface ID automatically computed from the MAC address associated with the interface. The ID is different for each device. This is the recommended method for setting the Interface ID.

• The other option is to manually set the Interface ID. The Interface ID must be 64 bits (8 bytes) in length, and must not contain special characters other than colons or valid hexadecimal digits (0 through 9, a through f, or A through F).

Note: Set the Interface ID using CentreWare® Internet Services. If you change the Interface ID,

you will be prompted to reset the printer before the changes take effect.

CentreWare® Internet Services provides access to the printer’s embedded Web server. It enables you to easily manage, configure, and monitor network printers using a Web browser on a network computer. CentreWare® Internet Services gives administrators access to printer status, configuration, security settings, and diagnostic functions. It also provides access to special printing functions such as printing saved jobs.

CentreWare® Internet Services enables you to:

• Check supplies status from your computer, saving a trip to the printer.

• Access job accounting records to allocate printing costs and plan supplies purchases.

• Troubleshoot print-quality problems using built-in diagnostics.

• Define a network printer search and view a list of printers using Printer Neighborhood. The list provides current status information and allows you to manage printers independently of network servers and operating systems.

• Configure printers from your computer. CentreWare® Internet Services makes it easy to copy settings from one printer to another.

• Set up and use a simple Web browser-based printing system. Marketing collateral, sales materials, business forms, or other standardized, frequently-used documents can be saved as a group with their original driver settings and then reprinted on demand at high speed from any user's browser. A printer with a hard drive is required to support these functions.

• Access online manuals and technical support information located on the Xerox website.

CentreWare® Internet Services requires:

• A Web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network (in Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX environments).

• JavaScript must be enabled in the Web browser. If JavaScript is disabled, a warning message appears and the pages do not function properly.

• TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in the printer.

Accessing CentreWare® Internet Services

Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:

• Use only recommended transparencies; print quality may vary with other transparencies.

• Do not print on sheets of label stock that have labels removed.

• Do not print CD labels with this printer.

• Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes 1-sided only.

• Do not overload the paper trays.

Media That Can Damage Your Printer

Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.

Do not use the following:

• Rough or porous media

• Plastic media other than supported transparencies

• Paper with cutouts or perforations

• Paper with a prepunched hole in the center of the short edge

• Paper with staples attached

• Envelopes with windows, clasps of any type, side seams, or adhesives with release strips

ColorQube 8570/8870 Color Printer User Guide

Printing

Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print quality.

• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.

• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect moisture.

• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

• Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.

• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave stored paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

• Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable bags. Store the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Supported Paper Sizes and Weights

The Paper Tips page lists supported papers, transparencies, and other specialty media, along with sizes, supported in each tray for 1-sided and automatic 2-sided printing.

Printing on Envelopes

This section includes:

• Printing on Envelopes from Tray 2, 3, 4, or 5 on page 72

Envelopes can be printed from any tray as long as the tray supports the type of envelope you are using. For information on supported envelope types by tray, see Supported Media on page 53.

Envelope Printing Guidelines

• Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use only paper envelopes specified for use with your printer. For details, see Supported Paper Sizes

and Weights on page 55.

• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity where envelopes are stored and used.

• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness, which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.

• Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.

• Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book on top of the envelopes.

• Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps.

• Use envelopes with diagonal seams, not side seams.

CAUTION: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.

Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas; please contact your local representative for details.

The driver Properties dialog box gets defaults from the settings in the driver’s Printing Preferences. You can select your most commonly-used printing options and save them as defaults so that you do not have to select them every time you print. For example, if you want to use automatic 2-sided printing for most jobs, set this option in the Printing Preferences dialog box.

To select printing preferences:

1. Navigate to your computer’s list of printers:

• For Windows XP SP1 or later, click Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes.

• For Windows Vista, click Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Printers.

• For Windows Server 2003, click Start > Settings > Printers.

• For Windows Server 2008, click Start > Settings > Printers.

2. In the Printers folder, right-click the name of your printer and select Printing Preferences.

3. Make selections in the driver tabs as desired and then click OK to save your selections.

Printing Booklets

With automatic 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small book. Create booklets for any paper size supported for automatic 2-sided printing. The driver automatically reduces each page image and prints four pages per sheet of paper (two on each side). The pages are printed in the correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create a booklet.

When you print booklets, you can also specify the creep and gutter.

• Creep: Specifies how much the page images are shifted outward (in 10ths of a point). This compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which otherwise would cause the page images to shift slightly outward when folded. You can select a value from zero to 1.0 points.

• Gutter: Specifies the horizontal distance in points between the page images. A point is 0.35 mm (1/72 in.).

Creep Gutter

The following additional booklet printing options are available in some drivers:

• Draw Page Borders: Prints a border around each page.

• Targ et Pap er S iz e: Specifies the size of the paper for the booklet.

• Right to Left: Reverses the order of the pages in the booklet.
