Note: Unauthorized alterations, which can include the addition of new functions or connection of external devices, can affect the product certification. Please contact your Xerox representative for more information.

General Guidelines

WARNINGS:

Do not push objects into slots or openings on the printer. Touching a voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are installing optional equipment and are instructed to do so. Turn off the printer when performing these installations. Disconnect the power cord when removing covers and guards for installing optional equipment. Except for user-installable options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.

The following are hazards to your safety: The power cord is damaged or frayed. Liquid is spilled into the printer. The printer is exposed to water. The printer emits smoke, or the surface is unusually hot. The printer causes a circuit breaker, fuse, or other safety device to activate.

If any of these conditions occur, do the following: 1. Turn off the printer immediately. 2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. 3. Call an authorized service representative.

Safety

ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer 11 User Guide

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.

WARNING: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is grounded properly. Electrical products can be hazardous if misused.

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.

Telephone Line Cord

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 American Wire Gauge (AWG) or larger telecommunication line cord.

Safety

of the printer. To find the weight for your printer configuration, see Physical Specifications on page 230.

Do not block or cover the slots or openings on the printer. These openings are provided for ventilation and to prevent overheating of the printer.

Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for operation and servicing. Place the printer in a dust-free area. Do not store or operate the printer in an environment of extreme temperature or humidity. Do not place the printer near a heat source. Do not place the printer in direct sunlight. Do not place the printer where it is exposed directly to the cold air flow from an air conditioning

system. Do not place the printer in locations susceptible to vibrations. For optimum performance, use the printer at the elevations specified in Elevation on page 232.

Safety

ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer 13 User Guide

Operational Guidelines Do not remove the paper source tray that you selected in either the print driver or control panel

while the printer is printing. Do not open the doors when the printer is printing. Do not move the printer when it is printing. Keep hands, hair, neckties, and so on away from the exit and feed rollers. Covers, which require tools for removal, protect the hazard areas within the printer. Do not remove

the protective covers.

Printer Supplies Use the supplies designed for your printer. The use of unsuitable materials can cause poor

performance and a possible safety hazard. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the product, options, and supplies. Store all supplies in accordance with the instructions given on the package or container. Keep all supplies away from the reach of children. Never burn supplies. When handling supplies, avoid skin or eye contact. Eye contact can cause irritation and

inflammation. Do not attempt to disassemble supplies, which can increase the risk of skin or eye contact.

Accessing the Printer

The system administrator can set access rights on the printer to ensure that unauthorized users cannot access the printer. If the system administrator configures authentication and authorization, users require a login and password to access some or all of the features of the printer. The administrator can also configure accounting to require 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.

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.

Features

ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer 25 User Guide

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 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: ColorQube 8700 Color Multifunction Printer: www.xerox.com/office/CQ8700docs ColorQube 8900 Color Multifunction Printer: www.xerox.com/office/CQ8900docs

Logging In

ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer 43 User Guide

General Paper Loading Guidelines Do not overfill the paper trays. Do not load paper above the maximum fill line in the tray. Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray. If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package. Use only recommended Xerox transparencies. Print quality could vary with other transparencies. Do not print on label media once a label has been removed from a sheet. Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes 1-sided only.

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer

Some paper and other media types can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage your printer. Do not use the following: Rough or porous paper Inkjet paper Non-laser glossy or coated paper Paper that has been photocopied Paper that has been folded or wrinkled Paper with cutouts or perforations Stapled paper Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips Padded envelopes Plastic media Iron on transfer paper

CAUTION: The Xerox Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee does not cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or special media. The Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside these areas. Contact your Xerox representative for details.

Paper Storage Guidelines

Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality. Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from

ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper.

Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time. Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity. Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect

moisture. Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets. Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.

Paper and Media

44 ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer User Guide

Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Envelopes

Print envelopes only from Tray 1 or from a 525-Sheet Feeder. For details, see Supported Envelope Sizes on page 46.

Guidelines for Printing Envelopes Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand

if you do not get desired results. Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity. Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid excess moisture and dryness which can affect

print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.

Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book on top of them.

Paper and Media

ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer 57 User Guide

In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type. Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface. Do not use envelopes with heat activated glue. Do not use envelopes with press and seal flaps. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips. Use envelopes with diagonal seams, not side seams.

Labels

Print labels from Tray 1 or from a 525-Sheet Feeder.

Guidelines for Printing Labels Use labels designed for laser printing. Print only on one side of the sheet of labels. Use full sheet labels only. Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the original

packaging until ready to use. Return any unused sheets of labels to the original packaging and reseal it.

Do not store labels in conditions of extreme heat or humidity. Storing them in extreme conditions can cause print-quality problems or cause them to jam in the printer.

Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels to curl and jam in the printer.

Do not use vinyl labels. Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. Do not use dry gum labels.

CAUTION: Do not use any sheet where labels are missing, curled, or pulled away from the backing sheet. It could damage the printer.

Loading Labels in Tray 1 1. Remove all paper from the tray. 2. Load labels face down with the top of the sheet feeding into the printer.

Printing on Both Sides of the Paper

Paper Types for Automatic 2-Sided Printing

The printer can automatically print a 2-sided document on supported paper. Before printing a 2-sided document, verify that the paper type and weight are supported.

Paper weights from 60 g/m through 122 g/m can be used for automatic 2-sided printing. For details, see Supported Paper Types and Weights for Automatic 2-Sided Printing on page 45.

Printing a 2-Sided Document

Options for Automatic 2-Sided Printing are specified in the print driver. The print driver uses the settings for portrait or landscape orientation from the application for printing the document.

Printing

Selecting Paper Options for Printing

There are two ways to select the paper for your print job. You can let the printer select which paper to use based on the document size, paper type, and paper color you specify. You can also select a specific tray loaded with the desired paper.

Printing Multiple Pages to a Single Sheet (N-Up)

When printing a multiple-page document, you can print more than one page on a single sheet of paper. Print 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per side by selecting Pages Per Sheet (N-Up) on the Layout/Watermark tab.

Printing

ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer 73 User Guide

Printing Booklets

With 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small booklet. Create booklets from any paper size that is supported for 2-sided printing. The driver automatically reduces each page image and prints four page images per sheet of paper, two page images on each side. The pages are printed in the correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create the booklet.

When you print booklets using the Windows PostScript or Macintosh driver, you can specify the gutter and creep. Gutter specifies the horizontal distance in points between the page images. A point

is 0.35 mm (1/72 in.). Creep specifies how much the page images are shifted outward, in tenths of a point. Shifting

compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which would cause the page images to shift slightly outward when folded. You can select a value from zero to 1 point.

Gutter Creep

Using Color Options

The Color Options control the way the printer uses color to produce your document. The Windows PostScript and the Macintosh drivers provide the widest range of color controls and corrections. Each system has three standard modes of color control for normal use and Custom Color Options for the more advanced users.

The three standard color modes are: Automatic Color applies the best color correction to text, graphics, and images. This setting is

recommended. Vivid Color applies automatic color correction to make office colors more saturated. Black and White converts all color in the document to black and white or shades of gray.

Printing

74 ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer User Guide

Custom Color Options provide three ways of adjusting the colors for more specific color requirements. Click the Custom Color Options bar to open the Custom Color Options window: Color By Words provides a three step process for defining custom color correction. By making a

selection from each of the three fields, you create a sentence for controlling the color characteristics of the document. You can create several sentences to more precisely control the color content of the document. The sentence structure is made of three parts: What Color to Change? provides a drop-down list to select a color or range of colors to adjust,

such as All Foliage-Green Colors. How Much Change? lets you select how much effect to make, such as A Lot More, to the

selected color. What Type of Change? lets you select the type of change, such as Vivid, from the drop-down

list. As you create a Color By Words sentence, it appears in the window below the selection fields.

Color Correction provides a list of commercial press, spot color, CIE, and gray image simulations from which you can select to match your document color.

Color Adjustments provides a set of six sliders for adjusting the individual components of the selected colors. Use the sliders to adjust the lightness, contrast, saturation, cyan, magenta, and yellow components of the color.

Printing Cover Pages

A cover page is the first or last page of a document. You can select paper sources for the cover pages that are different from the source used for the body of a document. For example, you can use your company letterhead for the first page of a document. You can also use heavyweight paper for the first and last pages of a report. You can use any applicable paper tray as the source for printing cover pages.

Select one of these options for printing cover pages: No Covers does not print cover pages. No cover pages are added to the document. Front Only prints the first page on paper from the specified tray. Back Only prints the back page on paper from the specified tray. Front and Back: Same prints the front and back cover pages from the same tray. Front and Back: Different prints the front and back cover pages from different trays.

After making a selection for printing the cover pages, you can select the paper for the front and back covers by size, color, or type. You can also use blank or pre-printed paper, and you can print side one, side two, or both sides of the cover pages.

Printing

ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer 75 User Guide

Printing Insert Pages

You can add blank or pre-printed insert pages before page one of each document or after designated pages within a document. Adding an insert after designated pages within a document separates sections, or acts as a marker or placeholder. Make sure that you specify the paper to use for the insert pages. Insert Options provides the options to place an insert After Page X, where X is the specified page, or

Before Page 1. Insert Quantity specifies the number of pages to insert at each location. Page(s) specifies a page or a range of pages after which you want an insert added. Separate

individual pages or page ranges with commas. Specify pages within a range with a hyphen. For example, to add inserts after pages 1, 6, 9, 10, and 11, type: 1, 6, 9-11.

Paper displays the default size, color, and type of paper selected in Use Job Settings for the insert pages. Use the down arrow to the right of the Paper field to select a different paper by size, color, or type.

Job Settings displays the attributes of the paper selected for the print job, without the inserts.

Note: Add Inserts is not available when Page Layout is set to Booklet Layout.

Printing Exception Pages

Exception pages have different settings from the rest of the pages in the job. You can specify differences such as page size, page type, and page color. You can also change the side of the paper on which to print as your job requires. A print job can contain multiple exceptions.

For example, your print job contains 30 pages. You want five pages to print on only one side of a special paper, and the remainder of the pages printed 2-sided on regular paper. You can use exception pages to print the job.

In the Add Exceptions window, you can set the characteristics of the exception pages and select the alternate paper source: Page(s) specifies the page or range of pages that use the exception page characteristics. Separate

individual pages or page ranges with commas. Specify pages within a range with a hyphen. For example, to specify pages 1, 6, 9, 10, and 11, type 1,6,9-11.

Paper displays the default size, color, and type of paper selected in Use Job Settings. Click the Down arrow to the right of the Paper field to select a different paper size, color, or type.

2-Sided Printing allows you to select 2-sided printing options. Click the Down arrow to select an option: 1-Sided Print prints the exception pages on one side only. 2-Sided Print prints the exception pages on both sides of the paper and flips the pages on the

long edge. The job then can be bound on the long edge of the pages. 2-Sided Print, Flip on Short Edge prints the exception pages on both sides of the paper and

flips the pages on the short edge. The job then can be bound on the short edge of the pages. Job Settings displays the attributes of the paper for the remainder of the job.

Notes:

Add Exceptions is not available when Page Layout is set to Booklet Layout. Some combinations of 2-sided printing with certain paper types and sizes can produce

unexpected results.

In Windows, the Scale Options are located in the print driver on the Paper/Output tab in the Paper field. Click the arrow at the right side of the Paper field and select Other Size to access the Scale Options: No Scaling does not increase or decrease the size of the image from the original. Automatic Scaling changes the print from one standard paper size to another standard paper size.

The Original Document Size is scaled to fit on the selected output paper size shown in the Output Paper Size field.

Manual Scaling changes the output print size by the percentage entered into the field under the graphic to the right of the Scale Options.

Printing Watermarks

A watermark is special purpose text that can be printed across one or more pages. For example, you can add a word like Copy, Draft, or Confidential as a watermark instead of stamping it on a document before distribution.

Printing

ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer 77 User Guide

Using the watermark options, you can do the following: Create a watermark or edit an existing watermark using the Watermark Editor:

Name allows you to give the new watermark a unique name. Options enables you to use text, time stamps, or graphics for the watermark. Text provides a field in which you enter the text to be printed as the watermark. Font and Color determine the font, size, style, and color of the watermark. Angle sets the degree of rotation applied to the text or graphics used for the watermark. Density defines how faint or how prominent the watermark appears on the pages. Position from center determines the position of the watermark on the page. The default

position is in the center of the printed pages. Place a watermark on the first page or on every page in a document. Print a watermark in the foreground or background or blend it with the print job.

Printing Mirror Images

If the PostScript driver is installed, you can print pages as a mirror image. Images mirror left to right when printed.

Basic Scanning

The Scanning feature provides several methods for scanning and storing an original document. The scanning procedure using your printer differs from that of desktop scanners. The printer is connected typically to a network rather than a single computer, so you select a destination for the scanned image at the printer.

The printer supports the following scanning functions: Scan documents and store images on the printer hard drive. Scan original documents to a document repository on a network server. Scan original documents to an email address. Scan original documents to your home directory. Scan original documents to a USB Flash drive. Import scanned images into applications using TWAIN and WIA.

Notes:

The printer must be connected to a network to retrieve a scan file remotely. Print, copy, and fax jobs can print while you are scanning original documents or downloading

files from the printer hard drive. For details, see the Help in CentreWare Internet Services.

To scan an image: 1. On the control panel, press the yellow Clear All button to clear previous settings. 2. Load your original documents:

Use the document glass for single pages or paper that cannot be fed using the document feeder. Place the first page of the document face down, in the top left corner of the document glass.

Use the document feeder for multiple or single pages. Remove any staples and paper clips from the pages and place them face up in the document feeder.

3. Press the Services Home button, then touch Workflow Scanning. 4. Touch the Down arrow, then select the template group from the menu. 5. Select a template from the list. 6. To change any of the scan settings, use the options at the bottom of the touch screen:

Output Color 2-Sided Scanning Original Type Scan Presets For details, see Changing the Basic Scan Settings on page 120.

7. Press the green Start button.

Note: To pause the job, press the Stop button. On the touch screen, touch Resume Scanning to continue the job, or Cancel Scanning to cancel the job completely. If you do not make a selection within 60 seconds, the job automatically resumes.

Document Glass

Lift the document feeder cover and place the first page face down in the upper left corner of the document glass.

Align the originals to the matching paper size printed on the edge of the glass.

The document glass accepts paper sizes up to 297 x 432 mm (11.7 x 17 in.).

The document glass automatically detects standard paper sizes.

Document Feeder

Insert originals face up, with page one on top. The confirmation indicator illuminates when

you load the originals correctly. Adjust the paper guides so they fit against the

originals. The document feeder accepts paper weights

38128 g/m for 1-sided pages, and 50128 g/m for 2-sided pages.

The document feeder accepts paper sizes from 85 x 125 mm (3.3 x 4.9 in.) through 297 x 432 mm (11.7 x 17 in.) for 1-sided pages, and 110 x 125 (4.3 x 4.9 in.) through 297 x 432 mm (11.7 x 17 in.) for 2-sided pages.

The maximum feeder capacity is approximately 110 sheets of 80 g/m paper.

Minimizing Paper Jams

The printer is designed to function with minimal paper jams using Xerox supported paper. Other paper types can cause jams. If supported paper is jamming frequently in one area, clean that area of the paper path. To avoid damage, always remove jammed paper carefully without tearing it. Try to remove the paper in the same direction it normally moves through the printer. Even a small piece of paper left in the printer can cause a jam. Do not reload paper that has jammed.

The following can cause paper jams: Selecting the incorrect paper type in the print driver. Using damaged paper. Using unsupported paper. Loading paper incorrectly. Overfilling the tray. Adjusting the paper guides improperly.

Troubleshooting

208 ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer User Guide

Most jams can be prevented by following a simple set of rules: Use only supported paper. For details, see Supported Paper on page 42. Follow proper paper handling and loading techniques. Always use clean, undamaged paper. Avoid paper that is curled, torn, moist, creased, or folded. To separate the sheets before loading into the tray, fan the paper. Observe the paper tray fill line; never overfill the tray. Remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing. Adjust the paper guides in all trays after inserting the paper. A guide that is not properly adjusted

can cause poor print quality, misfeeds, skewed prints, and printer damage. After loading the trays, select the correct paper type and size on the control panel. When printing, select the correct type and size in the print driver. Store paper in a dry location. Use only Xerox paper and transparencies designed for the printer.

Avoid the following: Polyester coated paper that is designed specially for inkjet printers. Highly glossy or coated paper. Paper that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled. Fanning transparencies before loading in the paper tray. Loading more than one type, size, or weight of paper in a tray at the same time. Loading hole punched paper or paper with folded corners or staples in the document feeder. Overfilling the paper trays. Allowing the output tray to overfill. Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.

Refer to the control panel Paper and Media Information Pages for information on supported paper, or see Supported Paper on page 42.

Make sure that the printer is loaded with undamaged, dry paper. If the condition of the paper or media is in doubt, replace it with new paper or media. Make sure that you have the proper tray selected in the print driver and from the control panel. Make sure that you have the correct paper type selected in the print driver and in the control panel

of the printer.

Isolating the Problem to the Printer or to the Application

When you are sure that the paper is supported and in good condition, use the following steps to isolate the problem: 1. From the control panel of the printer, print the pages for Diagnosing Print Quality. For details, see

Printing the Troubleshooting Print Quality Pages on page 216. If the pages printed properly, the printer is working properly and the print-quality problem is an

application, print driver, or print server problem. If the pages still have print-quality problems, the problem is in the printer.

2. If the pages printed properly, see Troubleshooting Print-Quality Problems in the Application, Print Driver, or Print Server on page 217.

3. If the pages still had print-quality issues, or did not print, see Troubleshooting Print-Quality Problems in the Printer on page 218.

Troubleshooting Print-Quality Problems in the Application, Print Driver, or Print Server

If the printer is printing properly from the control panel but you still have print-quality problems, the application, print driver, or print server could be the cause.

To isolate the problem: 1. Print a similar document from another application and look for the same print-quality problems.

If the document has the same print-quality problem, it is probably a print driver or print server problem. If the problem persists, go to step 2.

If the document printed without a print-quality problem, the application is probably the cause. Restart your printer, restart the application, then print the document again. If the problem persists, go to step 5. For more information, see Restarting the Printer on page 188.

2. Check the print driver used for the print job. 3. Click Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes. 4. Right-click on the name of the printer. 5. Select Properties from the drop-down list.

Ensure that the model name in the middle of the driver matches the model name of the printer. If the names do not match, install the proper print driver for the printer.

6. If the print driver is correct, see Selecting Printing Options on page 67 to set the Print-Quality mode and Color Options. Set the Print-Quality mode to Standard or Enhanced. Set the Color Options to Automatic Color.

7. If the problem persists, delete then reinstall the print driver. 8. If the problem still persists, ensure that you are not printing through a print server.

Try printing directly to the printer.

Troubleshooting Print-Quality Problems in the Printer

If you have print-quality problems when printing a Demo Page or the Configuration Report from the control panel, the problem is in the printer.

To isolate the problem: 1. At the control panel, print the Troubleshooting Print-Quality Pages. For details, see Printing the

Troubleshooting Print Quality Pages on page 216. 2. If the prints are too light to see print details, ensure that the printer is loaded with undamaged, dry,

supported paper. 3. Compare the print-quality problems in your document to each of the examples in the

Copy and Scan Problems

Symptoms Solutions

Print-quality problems when making a copy or scan.

Determine if the problem is the document glass, CVT glass, or the printer, by making a copy using the document glass and the document feeder. If you observe the print-quality problem in the copies made

from both sources, go to Troubleshooting Print-Quality Problems in the Printer on page 218.

If you observe the print-quality problem in one copy, the problem is with the document glass or the document feeder CVT glass. Use one of the following solutions to resolve the problem.

Lines or streaks present in copies only made from the document feeder.

There is debris on the CVT glass. When scanning, the paper from the document feeder passes over the debris on the CVT glass, resulting in lines and streaks. Clean all glass surfaces with a lint-free cloth.

Spots present in copies taken from the document glass.

When scanning, the debris creates a spot on the image.

The reverse side of the original is showing on the copy or scan.

Turn on Background Suppression.

Image is too light or too dark. If copying, use the Image-Quality settings to lighten, darken, or adjust contrast.

If scanning, use the Advanced Settings tab to lighten, darken, or adjust contrast.

Colors are inaccurate. If copying, use the Image-Quality settings to adjust color balance.

If scanning, confirm that the correct Original Type is set.

European Union Lot 4 Imaging Equipment Agreement Environmental Information

Environmental Information Providing Environmental Solutions and Reducing Cost

Introduction

The following information has been developed to assist users and has been issued in relation to the European Union (EU) Energy Related Products Directive, specifically the Lot 4 study on Imaging Equipment. This requires manufacturers to improve environmental performance of in scope products and supports the EU action plan on energy efficiency.

In scope products are Household and Office equipment that meet the following criteria. Standard monochrome format products with a maximum speed less than 66 A4 images per minute Standard color format products with a maximum speed less than 51 A4 images per minute

Environmental Benefits of Duplex Printing

Most Xerox products have duplex printing, also known as 2-sided printing, capability. This enables you to print on both sides of the paper automatically, and therefore helps to reduce the use of valuable resources by reducing your paper consumption. The Lot 4 Imaging Equipment agreement requires that on models greater than or equal to 40 ppm color or greater than or equal to 45 ppm monochrome the duplex function has been auto enabled, during the setup and driver installation. Some Xerox models below these speed bands may also be enabled with 2-sided printing settings defaulted on at the time of install. Continuing to use the duplex function will reduce the environmental impact of your work. However, should you require simplex/1-sided printing, you may change the print settings in the print driver.

Regulatory Information

238 ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer User Guide

Paper Types

This product can be used to print on both recycled and virgin paper, approved to an environmental stewardship scheme, which complies with EN12281 or a similar quality standard. Lighter weight paper (60 g/m), which contains less raw material and thus save resources per print, may be used in certain applications. We encourage you to check if this is suitable for your printing needs.

ENERGY STAR

The ENERGY STAR program is a voluntary scheme to promote the development and purchase of energy efficient models, which help to reduce environmental impact. Details on the ENERGY STAR program and models qualified to ENERGY STAR can be found at the following website: www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=find_a_product.showProductGroup&pgw_code=IEQ

Power Consumption and Activation Time

The amount of electricity a product consumes depends on the way the device is used. This product is designed and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity costs. After the last print it switches to Ready Mode. In this mode it can print again immediately if required. If the product is not used for a period of time, the device switches to a Power Saver Mode. In these modes, only essential functions remain active in order to enable reduced product power consumption.

Upon exiting from Power Saver Mode, the first print will take slightly longer than in Ready Mode. This delay is the result of the system "waking up" from Power Saver mode and is typical of most imaging products on the market.

If you wish to set a longer Activation Time or would like to completely deactivate the Power Save Mode, please consider that this device may then only switch to a lower energy level after a longer period of time or not at all.

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). On the cover of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the Telephone Company.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It connects to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

You can safely connect the printer to the following standard USOC RJ-11C modular jack using the compliant telephone line cord (with modular plugs) provided with the installation kit. See installation instructions for details.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that can be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line could result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that can be connected to a line, as determined by the RENs, contact the local Telephone Company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (for example, 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

Canada

This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.

A representative designated by the supplier should coordinate repairs to certified equipment. Repairs or alterations made by the user to this device, or device malfunctions, could cause the telecommunications company to request you to disconnect the equipment.

For user protection, make sure that the printer is properly grounded. The electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe systems, if present, must be connected together. This precaution could be vital in rural areas.

WARNING: Do not attempt to make such connections yourself. Contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, to make the ground connection.

The REN assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface could consist of any combination of devices. The only limitation to the number of devices is the requirement that the sum of the RENs of the devices does not exceed 5. For the Canadian REN value, please see the label on the equipment.

European Union

Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive

The Facsimile has been approved in accordance with the Council Decision 1999/5/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network terminal point.

In the event of a problem you should contact your authorized local dealer.

This product has been tested to and is compliant with ES 203 021-1, -2, -3, a specification for terminal equipment for use on analog-switched telephone networks in the European Economic Area. This product provides a user-adjustable setting of the country code. The country code should be set prior to connecting this product to the network. Refer to the customer documentation for the procedure for setting the country code.

Note: Although this product can use either loop disconnect (pulse) or DTMF (tone) signaling, we recommend that you set it to use DTMF signaling for more reliable and faster call setup. Modification of this product, connection to external control software, or connection to an external control apparatus not authorized by Xerox will invalidate its certification.

New Zealand 1. The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has

accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, it does not provide any sort of warranty, and it does not imply that any Telepermitted product is compatible with all Telecom network services. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model. The equipment may not be capable of correct operation at the higher data speeds designated. 33.6 kbps and 56 kbps connections are likely to be restricted to lower bit rates when connected to some PSTN implementations. Telecom will accept no responsibility for difficulties that arise in such circumstances.

2. Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, then arrange for its disposal or repair.

3. This modem shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom customers.

4. This device is equipped with pulse dialing, while the Telecom standard is DTMF tone dialing. There is no guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialing.

5. Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as other equipment, may give rise to 'bell tinkle' or noise and cause a false answer condition. If you encounter such problems, do not contact the Telecom Faults Service.

6. DTMF tones dialing is the preferred method because it is faster than pulse (decadic) dialing and is readily available on almost all New Zealand telephone exchanges.

WARNING: No '111' or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure.

7. This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected to the same line.

8. Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom Telepermit requirements are dependent on the equipment (computer) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications: For repeat calls to the same number: There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period

for any single manual call initiation, and The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end of

one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt. For automatic calls to different numbers: The equipment shall be set to ensure that automatic calls to different numbers are spaced such that there is no less than five seconds between the end of one call attempt and the beginning of another.

9. For correct operation, total of the RNs of all devices connected to a single line at any time should not exceed five.
