Safety
WARNING: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is grounded properly.
Electrical products can be hazardous if misused.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 American Wire Gauge (AWG) or larger
telecommunication line cord.
Power Cord
Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that each end of the
cord is connected securely. 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.
Only use an extension cord or power strip designed to handle the electrical current capacity of
the printer.
Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is providing the correct voltage and power.
Review the electrical specification of the printer with an electrician if necessary.
Do not place the printer in an area where people can step on the power cord.
Do not place objects on the power cord.
Do not plug or unplug the power cord while the power switch is in the On position.
If the power cord becomes frayed or worn, replace it.
To avoid electrical shock and damage to the cord, grasp the plug when unplugging the power cord.
The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device on the back of the printer. If it is necessary to
disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Note: The system administrator can allow you to type your user name and password when Smart
Card authentication is the primary authentication method. If the administrator configures an
alternative authentication method, and you misplace your card, you can still access the printer.
Administration Features
For details, see the System Administrator Guide for your printer model:
ColorQube 8700 Color Multifunction Printer: www.xerox.com/office/CQ8700docs
ColorQube 8900 Color Multifunction Printer: www.xerox.com/office/CQ8900docs
Accessing the Printer
To ensure that unauthorized users cannot access the printer, the system administrator can configure
authentication and authorization. If the administrator configures authentication and authorization, you
can be required to log in to access some or all of the features of the printer. If the administrator
configures accounting, you must type an accounting code to access tracked features.
Authentication
Authentication is the process of confirming your identity. When the system administrator enables
authentication, the printer compares the information that you provide to another source of information,
such as an LDAP directory. The information can be a user name and password, or the information stored
on a magnetic or proximity ID card. If the information is valid, you are considered an authenticated user.
The system administrator can set permissions so that authentication is required when accessing features
at the control panel, in CentreWare Internet Services, or in the print driver.
If the administrator configures local or network authentication, you identify yourself by typing your user
name and password at the control panel or in CentreWare Internet Services. If the administrator
configures card reader authentication, you identify yourself by swiping a magnetic or proximity card at
the control panel and typing a passcode.

Features
Authorization
Authorization is the function of specifying the features that you are allowed to access, and the process of
approving or disapproving your access. The system administrator can configure the printer to allow you
to access to the printer, but restrict your access to certain features, tools, and services. For example, the
printer can allow you access to copying but restrict your access to color printing. The system administrator
can also control your access to features at specific times during the day. For example, the system
administrator can restrict a group of users from printing during peak business hours. If you attempt to
print using a restricted method or during a restricted time, the job does not print. Instead, the printer
prints an error page and the job appears with an error message in the Job Status lists.
Where the system administrator stores the authorization information determines the authorization type.
Local authorization stores the login information on the printer in the user Information Database.
Network authorization stores the login information in an external database, such as an
LDAP directory.
The system administrator sets authorization permissions. To set or edit user permissions for access to
printer features, you must log in as the administrator.
Accounting
Accounting monitors the print, copy, scan, and fax impressions produced and who produces them.
Accounting associates your user name and account identification information with each document you
print. Accounting data is collected and stored as jobs are submitted to the printer.
The system administrator must create user accounts and enable the accounting feature. When
accounting is enabled, you must log in to the printer before accessing services. You must also provide your
account details in the print driver before printing documents from a computer. The system administrator
can set limits to restrict the total number of jobs by type that a user can produce. The administrator can
also generate reports listing usage data for individual users and groups.
For details, see the System Administrator Guide for your printer model:
