Fuji Xerox shares the global concern about environmental conservation and has integrated that concern in its
business activities - from research and development to disposal. We have implemented a number of programs to
lessen the burden on the environment. For example, we have totally eliminated ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons from our manufacturing facilities.
We are committed to leadership in the conservation of resources by re-using and recycling post-consumer
waste material such as paper, cartridges, and parts from our customer's copiers and printers. Along with our
efforts to make environmental values a part of the Fuji Xerox culture, Document Centre 706/705/606/605/506/505
and DocuCentre 706/705/606/605/506/505 series adopt recycled components that satisfy our strict quality
standards.
This equipment is in the Class B category based on the standard of Voluntary Control Council for Interference
from Information Technology Equipment (VCCI)*. If the machine 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
listed in "Safety Notes" of the User Guide (Copier).
* This regulation applies only to Japan.
This equipment conforms to the guidelines of the Japan Business Machine Makers Association on the
harmonic effects by copiers and other reproduction devices. These guidelines conform to the guides on the
harmonic suppressors of electronic appliances and general-purpose machines.
We have the consent of the Japanese Standards Association to use the Heisei Mincho W3 and Heisei Kaku
Gothic W5 fonts. Some of the fonts include foreign language characters designed by our company. Illegal
reproduction of the fonts are prohibited.
* This content applies only to Japan.
This equipment is certified as a Class 1 laser product under IEC60825. This means that the machine does not
emit hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the machine is completely confined within the

Reception interference:
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
interference. Switch it off, and if the interference disappears, the machine is the cause of radio interference. Perform
the following procedures until the interference is corrected.
Move the machine and the TV and radio away from each other.
Reposition or re-orientate the machine and/or the TV and radio.
Unplug the machine, TV and radio, and replug them into outlets that operate on different circuits.
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.

1.3 Special Features of the
Printer
This machine can be used as a network printer that can be connected directly to the network.
It is installed with emulation function.
The special features of the printer are as follows:
It is installed with PCL 5e and PCL 6 emulation but only PCL 6 drivers are provided.
Printing can be specified without having to take into consideration the printer language as there is an
automatic printer language detection feature.
High quality printing can be achieved with its 600 dpi laser-style resolution.
Also, it comes with an image-enhancement feature which can increase resolution and produce smooth
printing without any notches (equivalent to 2,400 dpi).
Besides the standard parallel interface, it can be used in a network (multi-protocol) environment
through the installation of a network interface for Ethernet or TokenRing (optional). TokenRing is an
optional feature.
Ethernet and TokenRing are mutually exclusive i.e. they cannot be used at the same time.
For details on Ethernet, refer to "2.1.2 Ethernet". For details on TokenRing, refer to the manual of
the TokenRing kit, TokenRing Board Installation Guide.
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.

The Document Centre 706/705/606/605/506/505 series printer can be used as a network printer when
connected to the network.
The printer supports multiple protocols. As a result, one printer can be shared even from different
network environments.
This section describes the different network environments that be set up for the printer.
Windows® Network (for Windows® 95/Windows® 98/Windows® Me/Windows NT® 4.0/
Windows® 2000)
Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing file or printer on Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. Print data or settings
can be sent directly to the printer on the same network (Ethernet interface) without going
through the server when SMB is used.
Activate the SMB port on the printer, select the network printer on each of the operating
system (OS) (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows
2000), and you can print by just registering the printer. You can use NetBEUI and TCP/IP
as the transport protocol for SMB.

TCP/IP Direct Print Utility (for Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me)
TCP/IP Direct Print Utility is a software developed by our company which allows print
data to be sent directly from Windows 95/Windows 98/Window Me computer to a printer
on the same network (Ethernet interface) without going through the server. As the printer
supports TCP/IP (LPD) protocol, the print data can be sent directly and printed from the
Windows 95/Windows 98/Window Me computer when using the software. You will need
to set up the IP address on the printer and the Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me
computer.

TCP/IP (for Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000)
As the printer supports TCP/IP (LPD) protocol, print data can be sent directly and printed
from Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 computer. You will have to set up the IP address
on the printer and the Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 computer. And once the printer on
the Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 computer is shared, you can also print from other
Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 or Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me computer on
the network.

Internet printing
The printer supports Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). And as Windows 2000 is installed
with the client software needed to output to IPP printer (IPP port monitor), you can
specify the printer supporting IPP from Add Printer in the control panel. With this IPP,
you can print to a distant printer through the internet or intranet.
"Chapter 9 Using Internet Printing Protocol"
TokenRing
The printer supports TokenRing. When the printer is installed with the optional interface
port for using TokenRing, you can use the printer in a network environment with NetWare
or TCP/IP existing alone or together.
When the interface port for TokenRing is installed, the Ethernet interface cannot be
used. Also, the items that can be set are also different. When TokenRing is used, refer
to the manuals that come with the TokenRing kit.

1.6 Setting IP Address for
Network Environment
This section explains how to set the IP address.
Depending on the network environment, you may need to set the subnet mask and gateway address. If
your network has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or BOOTP environment, the printer
can obtain these items automatically from each of the server.
By the factory setting, these items are obtained automatically from the DHCP server.
Use the DHCP server together with the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server at the same time.
When using the BOOTP server, specify the settings by referring to "1.6.2 Using touch panel display
for setting" as a guide but changing the procedure as follows:
(1) Follow Steps to to display the screen for setting TCP/IP: IP Address.
(2) Select Auto Obtain (BOOTP) instead of Specify Address for Step , and then touch Save.
(3) Follows Steps and to reboot the machine.
Check with your system administrator if you have any queries on the BOOTP environment.
1.6.1 Flow of setting
When the IP address is obtained automatically from the DHCP or BOOTP server, you do
not need to follow the procedure in this section to set the IP address.
When you need to set the IP address manually using the control panel, refer to "1.6.2
Using touch panel display for setting".
When you are unsure whether you have a DHCP server, follow the procedure below to
check. If you do not have a DHCP server, set the IP address by referring to "1.6.2 Using
touch panel display for setting".
