The printer has detected a metered supply installed in the printer configured to use sold supply.
The printers ship with worldwide neutral toner cartridges. Initial installation of these cartridges sets
the printer to worldwide neutral configuration. The first toner cartridge replacement sets the
geographic differentiation code and toner cartridge type in NVM to that of the replacement
cartridge. To change these NVM, a supplies plan conversion code (non-PagePack) or activation code
(PagePack) code is required.
See Supplies used to resolve print quality issues for part numbers.
If an incorrect type of toner cartridge is installed, an error code is generated indicating toner

Adjustments
Re g i s t r a t i o n A d j u s t m e n t
Image misalignments can occur after printhead replacement. Perform this procedure to correct the
position of the image relative to the paper edges.
Note: You cannot perform mechanical registration or skew adjustments on this printhead.
Before performing the procedure, make sure that the tray guides are properly set and the paper
settings on the printer match the paper size loaded in the tray.
A d j u s t i n g T h e S ke w
The skew adjustment changes the angle of the horizontal lines so that the lines can be aligned with
the leading edge of the page. As the skew setting is changed, the top line on the test page stays in
place at the left end, while its right end tilts up or down. All horizontal lines on the page will tilt at
that same angle while the vertical lines will remain vertical. Changing the skew setting moves the
right edge of the page up and down, and changes the angle of the top and bottom lines. If the skew
is properly adjusted, the horizontal lines at the top of the page will be parallel to the leading edge of
the page.
To check for skew:
1. Enter the Diagnostics menu, and then navigate to:
Printer diagnostics & adjustments > Registration adjust
Note: If there is no skew on the page, then go to Adjusting the margins. See Registration
adjustment.
To adjust the skew:
1. Enter the Diagnostics menu, and then navigate to:
Printer diagnostics & adjustments > Registration adjust > Skew
2. Specify the value. The value range is from -100 to 100.
Note:
• Raising the value of the skew rotates the horizontal lines clockwise. The left end of the line
remains in the same place and the right end moves downward.
• Decreasing the value of the skew rotates the horizontal lines counterclockwise. The left end of
the line remains in the same place and the right end moves upward.
3. Select OK.
4. Print a Quick test page to verify the change.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until the horizontal line is properly aligned with the leading edge of the page.
6. Check for proper margin alignment. See Registration adjustment.
• Raising the value of the top margin setting pushes the top edge of the image downward.
• Raising the value of the bottom margin setting pushes the bottom edge of the image upward.
• Raising the value of the left margin setting pushes the left margin to the right.
• Raising the value of the right margin setting pushes the right margin to the left.
5. Select OK.
6. Print a Quick test page to verify the change.
7. Repeat step 3 through step 6 until the margins are properly adjusted.
8. Check for proper color alignment. See Registration adjustment.

Power Consumption
P r o d u c t Po w e r C o n s u m p t i o n
The following table documents the power consumption characteristics of the product.
Note: Some modes may not apply to your product.
The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements.
Instantaneous power draws may be substantially higher than the average.
Values are subject to change. See www.xerox.com for current values.
Sleep Mode
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Sleep Mode. The Sleep Mode saves
energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Sleep Mode is
automatically engaged after this product is not used for a specified period of time, called the Sleep
Mode Timeout.
Factory default Sleep Mode Timeout for this product 15
(in minutes):
By using the configuration menus, the Sleep Mode Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and
120 minutes. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, but may
increase the response time of the product. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a high value maintains
a fast response, but uses more energy.
Hibernate Mode
This product is designed with an ultra-low power operating mode called Hibernate mode. When
operating in Hibernate Mode, all other systems and devices are powered down safely.
The Hibernate mode can be entered in any of the following methods:
• Using the Hibernate Timeout
• Using the Schedule Power modes
The amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it enters Hibernate mode can be
modified between one hour and one month.
Off Mode
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely
stop product power consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the electrical outlet.
To t a l E n e r g y U s a g e
It is sometimes helpful to estimate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims
are provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the
product spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is
the sum of each mode's energy usage.

Pa p e r Pa t h I n fo r m a t i o n
The printer has a simple C-shaped paper path. The tray 1 paper is shown in red and the optional 650-
sheet duo tray paper path is not shown.
Paper is fed from the rear of the printer and travels upward through the front cover.
The duplex unit is built into the front cover and Tray 1.
Note: The ACM is also known as the paper feed roller assembly.
Tra n s p o r t Co m p o n e n t s
The paper is fed from the tray into the printer by a pick roll and sent to two sets of feed rollers which
time the paper to enter the Electrophotographic Process (EP Process) at just the right moment. The
feed rollers push the paper to the transfer module where the image is transferred to the page.
The transfer roller moves the paper to the fuser where heat and pressure are applied to the page. The
fuser rollers push the paper toward the exit bin and past the exit sensor. The exit rollers guide the
paper into the output bin.
Note: If the printer posts a paper jam message but no paper is found, then paper dust or paper
particles may have fallen into one of the sensor eyes. Use a can of compressed air to gently
clean the sensor.
Duplexing
Printers with duplex support use a secondary paper path to print on the second side of a sheet of
paper. The duplexing process is summarized as follows:
After the first side of the paper is printed and the trailing edge of the paper clears the fuser exit
sensor, the fuser motor engages to reverse the paper direction and feed it into the duplex unit. The
pick motor also reverses. The pick motor drives the duplex aligner rolls (A), which push the media
down to the bottom turnaround in the paper tray and gate aligner (B).
Note: While the sheet is being transported through the duplex unit, it is the only sheet of paper
being processed by the print engine. A user should not attempt to insert a sheet of paper into
the manual paper feed while a duplex job is being processed. This would cause a paper jam
error.
When the trailing edge of the media clears the fuser, the fuser engine rotates forward to prepare the
fuser for the page traveling though the duplex unit.
As the media reaches the gate aligner, a sensor (S1) is triggered, indicating the presence of the
leading edge.
When the S1 sensor is triggered, the paper continues to the (S2) sensor. When the S2 signal is
detected, the speed of the pick motor is adjusted to accommodate the speed of the transfer belt,
ensuring the proper registration of the image on the media. The paper travels to the transfer module
(C), and the second image is transferred to the reverse side of the media.
Once the image is transferred, the media travels to the fuser (D), the fuser exit rolls (E), and then to
the output bin.
E l e c t r o p h o t o g ra p h i c Pr o c e s s B a s i c s
This printer is a single-laser printer that uses four print cartridges (cyan, yellow, magenta, and black)
to create text and images on paper.
The printer has four photoconductor units (sometimes called a photodeveloper cartridge or PC unit)
built into the print cartridges and transfer module. Each color toner is painted to its respective
photoconductor unit at the same time. The transfer belt passes under the four photoconductor units
and the four-color image is produced and transferred to the paper in one pass.
During the printing process, the printer follows the six basic EP process steps to create its output to
the page.
1. Charge the photoconductor units.
2. Expose the photoconductor units with the laser.
3. Develop toner on the photoconductor units.
4. First transfer to the transfer module, and second transfer to the paper.
5. Fuse the toner to the paper.
6. Clean/erase the photoconductor units and the transfer module.
In summary, the printer controller board receives print data and the command to print. The controller
board then initiates the print process. The controller board is the command center for the EP process
and coordinates the various motors and signals.
The high-voltage power supply (HVPS) sends charge to various components in the EP process. The
laser fires on the photoconductor units and alters the surface charge relative to the planed image for
each photoconductor unit. Each photoconductor unit rotates past its respective developer roll, and
toner is developed on the surface of each photoconductor unit. The four separate color images are
then transferred to the transfer belt on the transfer module as it passes under the photoconductors.
After the image is transferred to the transfer belt, the photoconductor units are cleaned and
recharged.
The transfer belt carries the four-colored image towards the transfer rollers. Paper is picked up from
the tray and carried to the transfer roll where the image is transferred from the transfer belt to the
paper. The timing of the paper pick is determined by the speed of the transfer belt.
The paper is carried to the fuser rollers where heat and pressure are applied to the page to
permanently bond the toner to the page. The fuser rollers push the paper into the output bin. The
transfer unit is cleaned and the process begins again for the next page.
Step 1: Charge
During the charge step, voltage is sent from the HVPS to the charge roller beside each of the four
photoconductor units. In this printer, the charge roll is part of the photoconductor unit in the print
cartridges.
The charge roller puts a uniform negative charge over the entire surface of the photoconductor unit
to prepare it for the laser beam.
Step 2: Expose
During the expose step, the laser fires a focused beam of light at the surface of each photoconductor
unit and writes an invisible image, called a latent image or electrostatic image, for each color.
The laser beam discharges only the surface where the beam hits the photoconductor unit. This
discharge creates a difference in charge potential between the exposed area and the rest of the
photoconductor unit surface.
S te p 3 : De ve l o p
When the laser exposes the photoconductor unit, the HVPS sends charge to the developer roll. For
each color, the print cartridge engages the photoconductor unit so it is in contact with the surface.
Because of the charge difference between the toner on the developer roller and the electrostatic
image created by the laser, the toner is attracted to areas of the photoconductor unit surface
exposed by the laser.
This process is similar to using glue to write on a can and then rolling it over glitter. The glitter sticks
to the glue but does not stick to the rest of the can.
S t e p 4 a : F i r s t Tra n s fe r
When the latent images are developed on each photoconductor unit, the HVPS sends voltage to the
first transfer rollers inside the transfer module.
The charge difference between the developed toner image on the photoconductor unit surface and
the first transfer roller causes the images to transfer to the surface of the transfer belt for each color.
This transfer occurs during a direct surface-to-surface contact between the photoconductor units and
the transfer belt.
S t e p 4 b : S e c o n d Tra n s fe r
When the four planes of color are transferred to the transfer belt from the photoconductor units, the
image is carried toward the transfer roller, which is also part of the transfer module. Based on the
speed of the transfer belt, the proper time to send the signal to pick the paper from an input source is
determined. The pick is timed so that the paper passes between the transfer belt and transfer roller
when the image on the belt reaches the second transfer area.
The HVPS sends voltage to the transfer roller to create a positive charge. When the image on the
transfer belt reaches the transfer roller, the negatively charged toner clings to the paper, and the
entire image is transferred from the transfer belt to the paper.
S t e p 5 : Fu s e
When the image has been fully transferred to the paper, the transfer roller helps move the paper into
the fuser area.
The fuser applies heat and pressure to the page to melt the toner particles and bond them
permanently to the paper. The fuser moves the paper to the redrive rolls which move the paper to the
output bin.
S t e p 6 : C l e a n / e ra s e
Two main cleaning processes take place during the EP process. One process cleans the transfer belt,
and the other cleans the photoconductor units.
Transfer module clean
When the toner image on the transfer belt has been transferred to the page, the transfer belt rotates
around and is cleaned by the cleaning blade. The cleaning occurs for every page that is printed.
After the toner is moved to the cleaning blade, the toner is moved to the waste toner area using an
auger system.
Photoconductor clean/erase
After each plane of color has been transferred to the transfer belt from the photoconductor units, a
cleaning blade scrapes the remaining toner from the surface of each photoconductor unit.
The photoconductor unit surface is prepared to restart the EP process. This cleaning/erasing cycle
happens after each plane of color is transferred to the transfer belt.

After the sensor (ADF paper present) detects paper in the ADF tray, the pick roller drops and advances
the paper into the ADF.
The paper passes through the feed roller and separator roller. The separator roller minimizes the
possibility of feeding multiple sheets.
The paper then actuates the sensors (pick and deskew). The sensor (pick) detects the leading edge of
the paper and adjusts the pick/feed timings while the sensor (deskew) detects the paper for any skew.
The deskew roller slows down the paper to perform the skew correction.
Note: The motor (pick) runs the pick and feed rollers.
For duplex scan jobs, the paper actuates the sensor (ADF first scan) and proceeds to the first scan
area. Failure to actuate the sensor results to a paper jam error. The back side of the document is
scanned.
The transport rollers continue to advance the paper until it actuates the sensor (ADF second scan)
and reaches the second scan area. For simplex or duplex scan jobs, the front side of the document is
scanned on the second scan area.
The exit roller picks and drops the paper into the ADF bin. The motor (transport) runs the transport,
deskew, and exit rollers.

After the sensor (ADF paper present) detects paper in the ADF tray, the pick roller drops and advances
the paper into the ADF.
The paper passes through the feed roller and separator roller. The separator roller minimizes the
possibility of feeding multiple sheets.
The paper then actuates the sensors (pick and deskew). The sensor (pick) detects the leading edge of
the paper and adjusts the pick/feed timings while the sensor (deskew) detects the paper for any
skews. The deskew roller slows down the paper to perform the skew correction.
Note: The motor (pick) runs the pick and feed rollers.
After the skew correction is completed, the transport roller advances the paper to the scan area. But
before the image acquisition process can start, the paper must actuate the sensor (ADF scan). Failure
to actuate the sensor results in a paper jam. The first side of the document is scanned.
If the scan job is simplex, then exit roller 1 advances the paper until it is picked up and moved by exit
roller 2 into the ADF bin. The motor (transport) runs the transport, deskew, and exit rollers.
If the scan job is duplex, then the motor (pick) rotation is reversed such that exit roller 2 pulls the
paper back into the ADF. The paper actuates the sensor (ADF pick), and then moves until it reaches
the scan area for the second time. Like the first pass of the paper, the image acquisition process is
repeated for the second side of the paper. Before the paper exits, it goes back again to the ADF for
the third time, but no imaging occurs. This pass is to turn the paper over to the original side up. On
the third pass of the paper, exit roller 2 does not reverse and the paper passes out of the ADF.

The flatbed scanner has a scanner lamp that is used to illuminate the surface of the document. The
reflections produced are processed to create the scan image.
For flatbed scan jobs, the flatbed scanner moves across the scanner glass area to scan the front side
of the document (facedown). The motor (FB scanner) controls the scanner position. The scanner is
detected at its home position by the sensor (FB CIS home).
For ADF scan jobs, the flatbed scanner stays at the left to scan the document.
Color Theory

W h a t I s R G B Co l o r ?
Red, green, and blue light can be added together in various amounts to produce a large range of
colors observed in nature. For example, red and green can be combined to create yellow. Televisions
and computer monitors create colors in this manner. RGB color is a method of describing colors by
indicating the amount of red, green, or blue needed to produce a certain color.
W h a t I s C M Y K Co l o r ?
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks or toners can be printed in various amounts to produce a large
range of colors observed in nature. For example, cyan and yellow can be combined to create green.
Printing presses, inkjet printers, and color laser printers create colors in this manner. CMYK color is a
method of describing colors by indicating the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black needed to
reproduce a particular color.

Software programs typically specify document color using RGB or CMYK color combinations. They
also allow users to modify the color of each object in a document. For more information, see the
software program Help topics.

When a user prints a document, information describing the type and color of each object is sent to
the printer. The color information is passed through color conversion tables that translate the color
into the appropriate amounts of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toner needed to produce the
desired color. The object information determines the application of color conversion tables. For
example, one type of color conversion table can be applied to text while applying a different color
conversion table to photographic images.

We recommend the PostScript driver for best color quality. The default settings in the PostScript driver
provide the preferred color quality for the majority of printouts.

The color conversion tables used in Auto Color Correction mode generally approximate the colors of a
standard computer monitor. However, because of technology differences that exist between printers
and monitors, many colors can also be affected by monitor variations and lighting conditions.

Sometimes a printed page may appear tinted (for example, everything looks too red). This tint can be
caused by environmental conditions, paper type, lighting conditions, or user preference. Adjust the
Color Balance setting to create a more preferable color. Color Balance lets the user make subtle
adjustments to the amount of toner being used in each color plane. Selecting positive or negative
values for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (from the Color Balance menu) can slightly increase or
decrease the amount of toner used for the chosen color. For example, if a printed page has a red tint,
then decreasing both magenta and yellow can improve the color balance.

When manual color correction is enabled, the printer uses user-selected color conversion tables to
process objects. However, Color Correction must be set to Manual, or no user-defined color conversion
can be implemented. Manual color correction settings are specific to the type of object being printed
(text, graphics, or images), and how the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB
or CMYK combinations).
Note:
• Manual color correction is not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or
CMYK combinations. It is also not effective in situations in which the software program or the
computer operating system controls the adjustment of colors.
• The color conversion tables—applied to each object when Color Correction is set to Auto—
generate preferred colors for the majority of documents.
To manually apply a different color conversion table:
1. From the home screen, touch Settings > Print > Quality > Advanced Imaging > Color
Correction.
2. Select Manual, and then touch Color Correction Content.
3. Select the appropriate color conversion table for the affected object type.

From the printer Quality menu, nine types of Color Samples sets are available. These sets are also
available in the Color Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set
generates a multiple-page printout consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Either a CMYK or RGB
combination is located on each box, depending on the table selected. The observed color of each box
is obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB combination labeled on the box through the selected color
conversion table.
To print color sample pages:
1. From the home screen, touch Settings > Print > Quality > Advanced Imaging > Color Samples >
Print Color Samples.
2. Select the appropriate color conversion table to print.
By examining Color Samples sets, a user can identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired
color. The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the
object in a software program. For more information, see the software program Help topics. Manual
color correction may be used for the selected color conversion table for the particular object.
Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color-matching problem depends on the
Color Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text,
graphics, or images), and how the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or
CMYK combinations). When the printer Color Correction setting is set to Off, the color is based on the
print job information; and no color conversion is implemented.
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software program does not specify colors
with RGB or CMYK combinations. The software program or the computer operating system
sometimes may adjust the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program through color
management. The resulting printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples
pages.

Detailed Color Samples sets are available in the Embedded Web Server of a network printer. A
detailed Color Samples set contains a range of shades (shown as colored boxes) that are similar to a
user-defined RGBor CMYK value. The likeness of the colors in the set are dependent on the value
entered in the RGB or CMYK Increment box.
To access a detailed Color Samples set from the Embedded Web Server:
1. From the home screen, touch Settings > Print > Quality > Advanced Imaging > Color Samples >
Print Color Samples.
2. Select Advanced to narrow the set to one color range.
3. Select the appropriate color conversion table to print.
4. Enter the RGB or CMYK color number.
5. Enter an increment value from 1 to 255.
Note: The closer the value is to 1, the narrower the color sample range appears.
6. Select Print.
