User Guide
Turning the Printer On and Off
This printer has two power switches. The Main Power switch located behind the front door controls the
main power to the printer. The Secondary Power switch on the top of the printer controls power to the
printer electronic components, and initiates a software-controlled shutdown when turned off. Using the
Secondary Power switch to turn on and off the printer is the preferred method.
To operate the printer, turn on both switches. First turn on the Main Power switch, then turn on the
Secondary Power switch.
Initial Printer Setup
Make sure that the printer is set up before installing the printer software. Setup includes enabling the
optional features and assigning an IP address for the Ethernet network connection. If the printer has
not been previously turned on and configured, see the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/7800docs.
Optimizing Printer Performance
Several factors influence printer performance, including temperature, humidity, air pressure, and the
chemical characteristics of the paper and coatings. The printer must form an electrostatic image on the
paper, which depends on the ability of the air to hold and transfer electrical charges. The paper and
coatings must hold an electrical charge in the areas where the toner must adhere.
To optimize the performance of your printer:
1. At the control panel, touch Printer.
2. Touch the Tools tab, then touch Adjust Color.
3. Touch Color Calibration.
4. To print the Calibration pages, follow the onscreen instructions.
5. To adjust the printer color settings, follow the printed instructions.
6. Touch Done.
7. Touch Calibrate Paper Type.
8. To print the Calibrate for Paper pages, follow the onscreen instructions.
9. To adjust the printer for various paper types and environmental conditions, follow the
printed instructions.
