Preface
Welcome to Fuji Xerox Document Centre 285/235 Series.
Written with the new user in mind, this User Guide (Prin ter) provides all the neces s ary information
about operatin g the printer functions of the printe r as well as installing the printer drivers. To get the
most out of the machine, please read this manual before using it.
This guide is written with the assumption that you are familiar with the basic knowledge and way of
operating the different operating systems. Refer to the manuals of these products for information on
them.
Note that this guide is written for users operating the Document Centre 285/235 Series with a client
computer installe d with an Engli sh edition oper ating system . Unless other wise indicat ed, this gu ide is
written for use with Eng li s h ed ition operating syste m onl y.
After reading, keep this guide handy for a quick r eference should y ou en count er an y di f ficul t ie s whe n

In this manual , saf ety ins tructions are described with th e symbol . Alwa ys read and f o llo w these
instructions before perfo rming the r equired procedure.
This product is in the Class B category based on the standard of Voluntary Control Council for
Interference from Information Technology Equipment (VCCI)*. If the mac hine is used near a radio
or television receiver in a domestic environment, it may cause radio interference. Install and use
the machine according to the instructions.
* This regulation applies only to Japan.
This equipment co nf orms to the guidelin es of t he J apan Bus iness Ma chine Ma ker s Asso ciation on
the harmonic effects by copiers and other reproduction devices. These guidelines conf orm to the
guides on the harmonic suppressors of electronic appliances and general-purpose machines.
Reception inte rference:
When installed at a certain location, the machine may cause interference with radio and television
reception. If you notice flickering or distorted images or noises on your audio-visual units, your
machine may be causing radio inter ference. Swit ch it off, and if the interference disappears, the
machine is the caus e of radio interference. Perfor m th e following proc ed u r es un ti l the int erference
is corrected.
• Move the machine and th e TV and radio away from each other.
• Reposition or re-orientate the machine and/or the TV and radio.
• Unpl ug th e machi ne , TV and r adio, and replug them i nto ou tlets t hat oper a te on di ff e rent ci rcui ts .
• Re-orientate the TV and/or radio antennas and cables until the interference stops. For an
outdoor antenna , you should ask your local electrician for support.
• Use coaxial cable antennas.

Precaution for power and earth connection
When connecting interface cable, make sure that the power of the main frame and host
device is switched off to prevent the possibility of electricity shock.
viii
Precaution for switching off the power
● When switching off the power for this machine with fax functions, check that the Document
In Memory indicator light on the main frame control panel is off. If the power is switched off
while the light is on, document data spooled in the memory will be erased.
●
After being charged for 45 hours, this machine is able to keep the contents in memory for three
hours.
●
If the Document In Memory indicator light is lit, check if there is any "Received document". If yes,
follow the instruction on display and output it. Otherwise, output the list of stored document and
check the contents.
● When the power is switched off, print data remaining in the printer kit and information
spooled in the memory of the printer kit will be erased.
Also, Secure Print/Sample Print data saved in the Hard Disk will remain but data that has
not been saved completely will be deleted.
Before switching off the power during normal operation, check that the message "Ready to
print" is shown on the display of the cont rol panel.
●
The memory used by the printer belongs to the printer kit, which is different from thos e used b y the
copier and fax functions. However, when the power is switched off, data will be erased from the
memory.

1.2
Printer
This printer kit can be used as a network-compatible printer that can be connected directly to the
network.
It can be installed w ith multi-emulation.
The special features of the printer are as follows:
●
It is installed with PCL emulation. PostScript emulation is an optional feature.
●
Printing can be specified without taking into consideration the printer language as there is an
automatic printer language detection feature (applicable only when more than one emulation is
installed).
●
High quality printing can be achieved with its 400/600 dpi laser-style resolution.
Also, it comes with an image-enhancement feature which can increase resolution and produce
smooth printing witho ut any notches (equivalent to 2,400 dpi).
●
Besides the par allel and USB interfaces, it can be used in network (multi-protocol) environment
through the inst allation of interfa c e card for Ethernet or Token Ring. Token Ring is an optional
feature.
●
All the interfaces installed can receive data at the same time, except Ethernet and Token Ring
which are mutually exclusive.
●
Double-sided printing can be done by in stalling a duplex modul e.
●
Multiple-copies sorting can be achieved through the electronic sorting feature (when installing the
hard disk). Also, there is no need to rear r an ge pa ges as pag es ca n be out put wit h the prin te d si de
facing up without interrupting the page order.
●
DPI is the abbreviation of Dot Per Inch and is the unit that indicates the number of dots that can be
printed within a one-inch area. It is used as a unit indicating resolution.
●
Protocol is the essential communcation regulation for carrying out data transmission.

Environments
This section explains the different printer environments that can be set up for the printer.
When connected to a co mputer directly, the printer can be used as a local printer.
When connected to a network, the printer can be used as a network printer. As this printer supports
multi-protocol, it can be shared among users fro m different network environments.
2.1.1 As a local printer
Using parallel interface
Connects the printe r to a computer by parallel interface for printing.
Use only the parallel interface cable provided by our company, as an optional product. Using parallel
interface cable from other company might lead to electric wave obstruction.
Using USB interface
Connects the printer to a computer by USB cable for printing.
