Power Saver
The Power Saver feature allows the press to enter a reduced power consumption mode when all print
jobs have completed and there are no jobs currently processing. There are two power saving modes:
Low Power and Sleep.
By default, the press automatically enters the Low Power mode after 1 minute of inactivity. After 1
minute of inactivity, the press then enters Sleep mode. These time intervals for both modes can be
changed by the system administrator.
Refer to the following example:
•Low Power Mode is set to 1 minute.
•Sleep Mode is set to 10 minutes.
•Sleep Mode activates after 10 minutes of total inactivity and not 10 minutes after the Low Power
Mode begins.

Loading Envelopes in Tray 5 (Bypass)
It is recommended that you print envelopes from the Bypass (Tray 5). If you are required to print
envelopes from the optional Trays 6 and 7, use the Postcard Bracket.
Note: For information on supported envelope types and sizes, refer to the Customer
Expectation and Installation Guide.
When setting up your print job, select from the following options:
•Envelope Feeder: used for standard-sized envelopes
•Change Settings: used for custom-sized envelopes
Note: Store unused envelopes in their original packaging to avoid the excess moisture or
dryness that can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the
envelopes to seal before or during printing.
Some wrinkling or embossing can occur when printing on envelopes. Successful envelope printing
depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand if problems
occur.
When defining custom paper settings at the Paper Tray settings/Tray Properties window, assign the
custom stock to the Bypass Tray (Tray 5) or an Advanced Oversized High Capacity Feeder (Tray 6 or
7). Select Auto Detect for automatic size-detection or measure the height and width of the envelope
with the flap closed, then enter the dimensions. For more detailed information, refer to the following
steps.
1.Always load envelopes with the flaps closed.
Do not use padded envelopes.
2.When loading in the SEF direction, place the flaps facing the back of the press. When loading in
the LEF direction, place the flaps facing the lead edge.
3.When submitting your network print file, select Custom Paper as the Paper Type. Enter the
dimensions of the envelope.
Measure the width from the lead edge to the trail edge of the envelope. For example, if you load
SEF, enter the long dimension of the envelope as the width. If you load the envelope LEF, enter
the short dimension of the envelope as the width.
4.Enter a heavy paper weight value, such as 220 g/m
A paper weight of 220 is a good starting point. If the printing is blurred or smeared, enter a
higher value.
5.Select the Bypass Tray (Tray 5) as the Paper Source.
b.To remove dirt, wipe the document cover with a soft cloth moistened with water and then
wipe it dry with a soft cloth. If dirt is difficult to remove, try gently wiping with a soft cloth
moistened with a small amount of neutral detergent.
2.Cleaning the document (platen) glass
a.To remove dirt, wipe the document glass with a soft cloth moistened with water and then
wipe it dry with a soft cloth. If dirt is difficult to remove, try gently wiping with a soft cloth
moistened with a small amount of neutral detergent.
Maintenance
Caution: Do not press heavily on the document glass to avoid damaging the glass
surface.
3.Cleaning the second-side scanning lens assembly
a.The second-side scanning lens assembly is located along the left side of the document
cover. The assembly consists of the mirrored-glass strip, a metal strip, a white-plastic strip,
and rollers. All parts of the assembly must be cleaned to ensure the best image quality when
making copies.

b.With the document feeder open, pull the lever that is located at the top of the document
cover.
Part of the document cover pulls away from the assembly, which allows better access to the
second-side scanning lens assembly.
c.To remove dirt, wipe the mirrored glass, metal strip, both sides of the white-plastic strip, and
the rollers with a soft cloth moistened with water, then wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
Caution: Do not press heavily on the mirrored glass as this will result in damage to the
film around the glass surface.
Note: If dirt is difficult to remove, try gently wiping with a soft cloth moistened with a
small amount of neutral detergent.
4.Once the second-side scanning assembly is clean, return the document cover to its original
position and ensure that the lever is locked in place.
If you touch the document cover with your bare hands, wipe it clean before closing the document
feeder.
5.Gently close the document feeder.

Adaptive CMYK+ Kit, ensure to install the correct color
2.Lay paper on the floor before removing the cartridge. This will allow any excess dry ink/toner to
fall on the paper.
3.Grasp the handle of the dry ink/toner cartridge matching the color indicated in the message.
4.Remove the dry ink/toner cartridge by slowly and gently pulling it straight out. While pulling out,
hold the bottom of the cartridge with your other hand to give it support.
5.Dispose of or recycle the cartridge per your local authorities and regulations.
In the United States, also refer to the Electronic Industries Alliance website: www.eiae.org. For
more information about Xerox environmental programs, go to www.xerox.com/environment.
6.Remove the new dry ink/toner cartridge from its packaging.
7.With one hand on either side of the cartridge, vigorously shake and rotate the new cartridge up
and down and left and right for 30 seconds to redistribute the dry ink/toner.
8.Install the new dry ink/toner cartridge by gently and evenly sliding the cartridge into the press
until it stops.
9.Close the dry ink/toner cover. If the cover does not close completely, make sure the cartridge is in
the lock position and is installed into the appropriate dry ink / toner location.
The Dry Ink/Toner Waste Bottle collects dry ink/toner that accumulates during the printing process.
When the bottle is full, a message displays on the press UI informing you to exchange the full bottle
with an empty one.
The press contains one waste bottle located at the front of the press behind the Dry Ink/Toner Waste
Bottle Door. When removing a full Dry Ink/Toner Waste bottle, SLOWLY pull it out of the press. This
will prevent any dry ink/toner from spilling out of the bottle.
Note: After you replace the Dry Ink/Toner Waste Bottle, the system automatically resets the
usage counter to zero (0) for this CRU component. Check the Consumables Supply screen to
verify the reset.
1.Ensure that the press is stopped (not running any jobs).
2.Open the front door of the press.
3.Open the Dry Ink/Toner Waste Bottle Door.
4.Grasp the handle of the Dry Ink/Toner Waste bottle and pull it halfway out of the press.
5.Support the underside of the bottle with your other hand and continue pulling it out from the
press.
Caution: Never use a vacuum cleaner when cleaning up spilled dry ink/toner. Use a broom
or a cloth moistened with a neutral detergent.
6.Use both hands to place the old used Dry Ink/Toner Waste Bottle into the provided plastic bag.
7.Remove a new, empty waste bottle from the packaging.
