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)
Software License Feature Enabling (continued)
Effect of Purchased Hardware on the Need to Enable Software License
Features
The need to enable Software License Features depends upon purchased
equipment as stated below:
Scan-to-Net Licensed Feature
If this feature is desired, a Scan-to-Net license is required for all systems
using a 7346 scanner (such as the 8825 DDS). The license is not required
for systems using a 7356 scanner (such as the 8830 DDS) assuming a
firmware level of 2.5 or higher. W hen the feature is disabled, the “Ready to
Scan” display on the DDS Control Panel will read “Scan Mode Disabled.”
Job Accounting Licensed Feature
If this feature is desired, a Job Accounting license is required for all 8825
systems. The license is not required for 8830 systems assuming a firmware
level of 4.0 or higher. When the feature is disabled, Job Accounting PJL
(printer job language) commands will return an error message. Job

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.
