Safety Information
This product should be operated from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available,
consult your local power company.
The power supply cord is the disconnect device for this equipment.
Make sure that the installation is near the socket outlet and is easily
accessible.
Safety Notes
Your Controller has been designed and tested to meet strict safety
requirements. These include safety agency examination and approval and
compliance with established environmental standards.
Please read the following instructions carefully before operating the
Controller and refer to them as needed to ensure the continued safe
operation of the product.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on or supplied with the product.
Unplug the printer from the wall outlet before cleaning the exterior. Always
use materials specifically designated for the Xerox Controller. Other
materials may result in poor performance and could create a hazardous
situation.
Do not use aerosol cleaners. Follow the instructions in this operator manual
for the proper cleaning methods.
Never use supplies or cleaning materials for purposes other than those for
which they were intended. Keep all supplies and materials out of the reach
of children.
Do not use this product near water, wet locations, or outdoors.
This product is equipped with a three-wire, grounding-type plug (i.e., a plug
having a grounding pin). This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. To avoid the risk of electric shock, contact
your electrician to replace the receptacle if you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the
printer where someone can step on the cord.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back and bottom of the printer
are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the printer and to
protect it from overheating, these openings should never be placed near a
radiator or heat register. The printer should not be placed in a built-in
installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
Never push objects of any kind into the slots of the printer as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the printer.
Never remove any covers or guards that require a tool for removal. There
are no operator serviceable areas within these covers.
Never attempt any maintenance function that is not specified in this operator
manual.
Never defeat interlock switches. The Controller is designed to prevent
operator access to unsafe areas. Covers, guards, and interlock switches are
provided to ensure that the system will not operate with the covers opened.
Never use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to a power source
that lacks a ground connection terminal.

Safety Information (continued)
Unplug the printer from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the product.
• If the controller has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the printer is producing unusual noises or odors.
• If the printer or the cabinet has been damaged.
• If you need additional safety information concerning the Controller or
supplied materials, you may call the Xerox Engineering Systems.
Ground Fault Protection
The 8825/8830 Engineering Printer is equipped with an additional safety
feature, a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI). This safety device will remove all
power to the printer if an electrical fault is detected.
In the event that power is interrupted to the printer, locate the GFI safety
device below the AC power switch.
If the device interrupts power to the printer again, or if power is not restored
by performing the above procedure, call Xerox Engineering Systems to
correct the problem.
A
B
Check that a red indicator appears in the window (A) of the safety device
shown below. Note: On your Controller this may be a circuit breaker.
If no indicator is present, press and release the black RESET button (B).
The red indicator should appear in the window, and power should be
restored to the printer. Note: If equipped with a circuit breaker, reset the
breaker (or turn on the Controller) by pressing the BLACK button.

the default Controller settings if required. Depending upon the release
revision of your Controller’s firmware (i.e. 2.5, 2.7, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0),
individual options may or may not be available. In addition, information is
provided for each port and protocol to aid in connecting remote workstations
to the 8825/8830 System.
Section-by-Section Overview
This manual includes the following sections:
• Getting Started - states the purpose of this manual and provides a
section-by-section overview.
• Controller Overview - this section details Controller components and
their functions.
• Configuring the Printer Processing Defaults – covers all of the
settings of the “Processing Defaults” menu of the Printer Control
Panel.
• The System Administration Menu Options – covers the System
Administration menu options of the Printer Control Panel.
• Printer Menu Options – provides instructions for setting energy-
saving timers and for configuring the printer for use with a finisher
(folder).
• Accessing the Default Setup Menus - contains a sequential listing of
all the functional items in the menus of the Printer Control Panel.
• Viewing the System Configuration Defaults - contains procedures for
printing Test Prints which provide a permanent record of all current
system settings. This is a MANDATORY step required before
performing a Factory Default Reset or configuring the printer for

Getting Started (continued)
Controller Overview
If you are not familiar with the Controller power switch, ports and operation of
the Printer Control panel, refer to this section.
Note: Changes to Controller parameters require up to 60 seconds to be
written to the system memory. When setting changes have been made, and
especially after a Factory Default Reset, wait 60 seconds for the changes to
take effect.
Setting the Controller Port Defaults
The Controller will operate with one, two, or all ports active. The optional,
3003-XTP Network Interface Card (NIC) and optional, external Ethernet
adapter also allow network-to-print communications using TCP/IP, IPX/SPX,
NetBEUI, DLC and EtherTalk protocols. A 10/100 Ethernet interface,
supporting TCP/IP is standard on the N5T, CNG, and new EV4 Controllers.
To prepare the Controller to print:
• Locate all the port(s) to be used. Refer to Controller Overview section of
this document for instructions on preparing each individual port to print.
• Connect cables and interface devices to the appropriate ports, then refer
to Viewing the System Configuration Defaults section of this document
for instructions on activating the port(s).
Setting up the Ten Custom Print Job Defaults
Ten sets of custom job defaults may be assigned and stored for future use.
These custom job default set values may be entered one of two ways:
• Remotely - Using a Workstation with the appropriate software loaded
(such as Netscape 4.0 or Internet Explorer 4.0, or higher), enter the IP
Address of the printer's Controller into the URL box of the browser and
press ENTER. Go to the Miscellaneous Page of the Web Printer
Manager Tool, located in the Printer Setup Group, accessed through the
Printer Defaults hypertext link. The custom job defaults are labeled
"Active User Setup" on this Web PMT page.
• Manually - Using the 8825/8830 Printer Control Panel. When using this
method, refer to ”Setting the Active Parameters Option” in the
“Configuring the Printer Setup Defaults” section of this manual.
• Load your workstation with the desired client software to manage the job
flow to the selected port(s). The software manuals contain install
instructions for each of the Windows platforms, so use the correct
procedure.
• When using the optional NIC, refer to Viewing the System Configuration
Defaults section of this document to enable the appropriate protocol(s).
Additional network setup information is contained in the Xerox 8825/8830
Network Administrator’s Guide that was shipped with your 8825/8830
System.

pressed prior to pressing the EXIT key for the selected operation to
be performed. The EXIT key may therefore be used to “cancel” a
selected operation. At the top level of the menu, pressing the EXIT
key results in going to the printer paused display.
ENTER
In the menu mode, the ENTER key confirms the currently displayed
menu item. If this item is at the end of the menu tree and represents an
actual selection of a setting or parameter, then the selection is executed.
If this item is an intermediate or top-level node in the menu tree, the
selected “branch” of the menu tree is descended. When not in the
printer menu, you may enter the top level of the menu by pressing this
key after pressing the OFF-LINE key.
NEXT
In a menu mode, this key advances the LCD display to the next item in
whatever menu is currently being displayed. It operates in a “wraparound” fashion.

Learning the Control Panel Buttons (continued)
PREVIOUS
In a menu mode, this key moves the current menu selection to the
previous item in whatever menu is currently being displayed. It
operates in a “wrap-around” fashion.
Numeric Keypad and CANCEL/CLEAR button
In the setup defaults mode, the digits 0 through 9, and the decimal key, are
used to input numeric information.
In the setup defaults mode, the CLEAR key is used to clear the current
entered value prior to entering a new value. In other modes, the CLEAR key
is used to cancel the most mature job in the system, whether it is in a printing
or processing state. When the CLEAR button is pressed, you will be
prompted to confirm the Cancel operation.

Controller Overview (continued)
Over The Wire Firmware Upgrading
Coinciding with the release of Firmware 4.0 and the availability of the new
Web Printer Manager Tool, it is now possible to upgrade Firmware versions
with new releases by sending a file to the Controller over the network, serial,
or parallel cable connection.
Customers can obtain new Firmware releases from the internet or in the form
of a CD ROM upgrade. If obtaining the Firmware from the internet, go to
www.xes.com and follow the instructions provided.
Use the Document Submission Tool (part of AccXES Client Tools) or the
Web Printer Manager Tool to send the downloaded Firmware upgrade to the
Controller. Note that the Web PMT includes a handy Upload button on the
"Upload File" page to assist in sending the new Firmware upgrade to the
Controller.
Note: For upgrading existing Firmware version 2.7 (or newer) to a new
release, existing parameter settings will not be reset to factory defaults.
Parameters that are new in the upgraded release will simply be assigned
new factory defaults. For upgrading existing Firmware 2.5 or older, print
out a full set of Test Prints (from the Printer Control Panel’s “Utilities”
menu) BEFORE performing the upgrade as all settings will be returned to
their Factory Defaults and you will lose your custom settings for the
Active Parameters set. For Active Parameters Set information, see
“Setting the Active Parameters Option” in this manual.

TEST PRINT PURPOSE
The purpose of Test Prints is to provide a record of current system settings
for use in daily operations, Network Communications setup, and restoration
of desired parameters in cases of unexpected change (such as through
accidental use of the Restore Factory Default utility). TEST PRINT sets
should be made at the following times:
• When the initial install is complete and default settings are defined.
• Anytime that default settings have been changed.
The reference sets of the TEST PRINT pages should be stored with the
machine service log, behind the front door of the 8825/8830 printer.
NOTE: The printer must have bond paper installed to enable the printing of
any TEST PRINT. When bond paper is not present (vellum or film only
installed in the printer) the TEST PRINT must be canceled.

Reports
Purpose
As implemented in Firmware Release 4.0, the Controller provides the ability
to track media usage from all print jobs containing account number data.
This data is provided by the user of such workstation tools as print drivers
and the Document Submission Tool. The usefulness of the individual
account data is dependent upon the setting of the “Printer Accounting Mode”
option (Enabled, Optional, or Disabled) of the “Job Accounting” submenu of
the “System Administration” main menu accessed through the Printer Control
Panel.
If the “Printer Accounting Mode” option has been set to “Enabled,” media
usage is accrued in System Account 0.1, as well as in the individual user
account numbers (123456.1234, for example).
If the “Printer Accounting Mode” option has been set to “Disabled,” media
usage is accrued in System Accounts 0.1 and 0.3.
If the “Printer Accounting Mode” option has been set to ”Optional,” the user
can enter an account number and media usage will be posted to System
Account 0.1 and the user’s account number (123456.1234, for example). If
the user does not enter in an account number, media usage tracking will
behave as if job accounting is Disabled, with media usage being accrued in
System Accounts 0.1 and 0.3.
Viewing Usage Data for Individual Account Numbers
As prompted, input the account number desired for viewing, then press
[ENTER]. The acceptable form of individual account numbers is parent
account (1…999999).sub-account (1…9999). Note the decimal point
separating the parent account from the sub-account. A sub-account number
of zero (0) provides the total media used by the parent account, which can be
comprised of up to 20 sub-accounts.
Press [EXIT] to cancel operations and escape the current menu. Press the
[ON-LINE] key to put the printer back on line.

Changing the PostScript Partition Parameter
Purpose
With the PostScript option installed in your printer, the size of the hard drive
partition can be increased (optimized) to provide more memory for PostScript
job processing as might be required for printing large and/or complex
PostScript jobs. Note, however, that by increasing the size of the PostScript
partition, the memory allocated for other partitions to handle such tasks as
spooling, building of copy sets, and scanning jobs to the net will be reduced
to accommodate the larger PostScript partition.
Path to the PostScript Partition Parameter
At the Printer Control Panel, display shows <IDLE>, press [ON-LINE], display
<PAUSED>, press [ENTER], display <UTILITIES>, press [ENTER], display
<TEST PRINT>, press [NEXT], display <POSTSCRIPT PARTITION>.
CAUTION

stored on the hard disk drive during previous scan-to-net operations.
Retrieve these documents before re-partitioning the hard disk drive.
• Pressing [ENTER] implements the selected change of partition.
The Controller will automatically reboot to re-partition the hard drive. The
display indicates, REBOOTING PLEASE WAIT...
When the display indicates IDLE, the printer is ready to use.

Error Page Purpose
The purpose of this option is to enable the printing of Error Pages. Error
pages may prove useful when troubleshooting print job errors. The two levels
of error reporting are designated as level 1 and level 2. A brief description of
each level follows:
The LEVEL 1 selection prints an ERROR/WARNING page only when a hard
error exists that will not allow the data file to print. Level 1 is a visible
indication that a print job was received, but no output was produced because
of an error. When a hard error is encountered the controller reads in job
data, but then instead of processing, all the data related to the failed job is
discarded.
The LEVEL 2 selection prints an ERROR/WARNING page when any error
(hard and soft error) exists though the data file may print. Level 2 is a visible
indication that a soft error was encountered and the controller printed as
much of the job as it could, given the error condition. When a soft error
occurs, there is at least the possibility that some image data may be missing
in the print.
Note: An error/warning page always follows the job the produced the
error or warning. The error/warning page is always printed on the
narowest roll and cut to the smallest length that will contain the
information.

HPGL EMULATION OPTION COMMENTS
The HPGL emulation of the Controller must be set to expect HPGL jobs as
either HPGL/2, or HPGL/HP7585.
Most terminator commands are supported and may be set via the 8825/8830
operator control panel or remotely using the Xerox Printer Manager Tool
software.
HP-RTL is supported for most input color modes and all compression
methods. Color source files are half-toned when printed on the 8825/8830
printer. The HP-RTL data format is supported as an extension of the
HPGL/HPGL2 interpreter. This method allows HP-RTL data embedded
within HPGL/2 jobs to be processed.
Both HPGL and HPGL/2 are supported with user-defined printer pen palettes.
These palettes allow the end user to specify width, color, and pattern for an
assigned pen number. The 8825/8830 printer renders the color attribute of
the palette as levels of gray scale.
There are eight user-definable palettes (1 - 8), and one factory default palette
(palette 0) which cannot be changed. The 8825/8830 printer control panel
menu may be used to define the palette content as well as assign the palette
number for each of the four relevant data format interpreters (HPGL/2, CGM,
VDS/VRF and VDS/ordered vector format).
The user-defined palettes may be remotely modified by using Xerox Printer
Manager Tool software. Pen width, pattern, and color can all be controlled
individually for each pen.
You may also set the job or the palette to control the attributes per pen and
per attribute.

CalComp 906 and 907 pen plotter data format files are processed by the
Controller using the CalComp 906/907 emulation. The CalComp PCI
extensions, and several CalComp 951 electrostatic plotter data format
commands are also supported.
The serial host interface handshaking protocol is not supported at this time.
Therefore, all commands beginning with the 08 prefix are ignored by the
Controller CalComp implementation.
Most plot terminator commands are supported and can be set via the
8825/8830 printer control panel, or remotely using the Xerox Printer Manager
Tool software.
The Calcomp plot terminator commands are Force Plot, Start Plot, Manual,
New Plot, Top of Form, Pause (Yes or No), EOP (1, 2, or none), Search
Address (999, 9999, Both, or None).
The user-defined palettes can also be specified using the Xerox Printer
Manager Tool software. The pen width, pattern, and color can all be
controlled individually for each pen.
You may set whether the job or the palette controls the attributes per pen and
per attribute.
The CalComp step sizes are user-defined using the 8825/8830 printer control
panel, or remotely using HP-PJL. Any numeric value from 50 to 4064 dpi is
accepted.
CalComp 906/907, is supported with user-defined printer pen palettes.
These palettes allow the width, color, and pattern to be specified for a given
pen number.
The 8825/8830 printer will render the color attribute of the palette as levels of
gray scale.
Pen palette support includes eight user-definable palettes (1 - 8), and one

Setting The Versatec Color Graphics Language (VCGL) Emulation
Printer Control Panel’s <SETUP PRINTER> menu and <PEN PALETTE>
submenu, or using the Printer Management Tool (PMT) installed on a remote
workstation. Depending upon whether the Palette Source Parameter is set to
<JOB> or to <PRINTER>, the pen settings specified within your CAD
application, or the pen palette specified by a palette number, will be used to
print your drawing.
Available options include:
VCGL Emulation Purpose
The Versatec Color Graphics Language (VCGL) is an older, Xerox
proprietary data format originally designed to work with Xerox Versatec
plotters.
Firmware 6.0 addition of this emulation feature to the 8825/8830 printer
enables legacy VCGL files to be sent to the 8825/8830 printer over Ethernet,
Parallel, Serial, VPI and SCSI ports.
PATH TO VCGL EMULATION OPTIONS
Display <IDLE>, press [ON-LINE], display <PAUSED>, press [ENTER],
display <UTILITIES>, press [NEXT] until <SETUP PRINTER> is displayed,
press [ENTER], display <BANNER PAGE>, press [NEXT] until
<EMULATIONS> is displayed, press [ENTER], display <HPGL>, press
[NEXT] until <VCGL> is displayed.
SELECTING THE VCGL EMULATION OPTIONS
Press ENTER and <VCGL PALETTE = 0> will be displayed. Zero (0) is the
default setting for this parameter. Press NEXT to display the three additional
parameters of the VCGL menu. These parameters are VCGL PALETTE
SOURCE = JOB (default), COLOR FILE CONTROL (default), and DEVICE
RESOLUTION = 400 (default).
VCGL PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
VCGL Palette = 0 (read-only).
VCGL Palette = 1-8 (user-editable) as the default VCGL palette.
VCGL Palette Source =
VCGL Palette Source establishes the source of pen attributes to be used in
printing your drawing. Set to <JOB> to use the pen settings specified within
your CAD application. Set to <PRINTER> to use the palette number
specified by the <VCGL PALETTE = > parameter, described above, to print
your drawing.
VCGL Palette =
One factory default (read only) pen palette and eight user-editable pen
palettes are stored within the printer in support of VCGL emulation printing.
Within each of the eight user-editable pen palettes there are 256 pens (pens
0 to 255) whose drawing attributes can be individually specified using the
8825/8830 Controller Setup Manual for Firmware 6.0 79

Setting The VCGL Emulation (continued)
Color =
Since the 8825/8830 printer is a black and white printer only, the
representation of color is by matching shades of gray to the 0 to 255 colors of
the VCGL file, or by representing colors with a black pattern if the color is
defined in the drawing file as a particular pattern in black. If the color to be
drawn is comprised of several patterns, representing a mix of the primary
colors, the printer will convert these mixed patterns to a representative
grayscale.
Setting <COLOR => to <FILE CONTROL>, which is the printer’s default
value, uses your CAD application to determine how colors will be represented
in your printed drawing.
Setting <COLOR => to <FORCE BLACK ON WHITE> overrides all
representations for colors in lines and fills with black only.
Device Resolution =
This setting establishes the default printer resolution for VCGL jobs. Choices
are 100, 200, 300, and 400 DPI. The factory default setting is 400 DPI.

Setting The PostScript Default Media Size Option
This parameter is used for those PostScript files that do not specify an output
size. Valid values are specific sheet sizes supported by the Controller. ROLL
sizes and the ANY selection cannot be used. The available range is: ANSI A,
ANSI B, ANSI C, ANSI D, ANSI E, ARCH A, ARCH B, ARCH C, ARCH D,
ARCH E, ARCH 30, ISO A0, ISO A1, ISO A2, ISO A3, ISO A4, ISO B1, ISO
B2, ISO B3, or ISO B4. Note that unlike the “abstract” CGM file format,
PostScript output does not automatically scale the printed image to the
default media size. If the image is larger than this default media size, clipping
will occur.
Default: ANSI A
