Printer Unpacking and Setup

1

Remove the printer and all accessories from the packing carton. 

Save the carton and packing materials in case you need to repack the printer for service or 
storage.

2

Make sure that your printer came packed with the following items:

• Laser print cartridge
• Power cord
• User Guide (this book)
• Warranty Information
• Xerox DocuPrint P8ex CD-ROM

This CD-ROM contains the software required to operate your printer, along with useful 
printer utilities and a complete Reference Guide. Should your computer not be equipped 
with a CD-ROM drive, please visit the Xerox website at www.xerox.com. If you do not 
have Internet access, refer to “Making Installation Diskettes” (page 1-17) for detailed 
instructions for creating installation diskettes.

Additional items contained on the CD-ROM that are not accessed through the main setup 
routine:

- Adobe Acrobat Reader located in the 

Acrobat

 directory.

- Documentation located in the 

Docs

 directory:

The printer box may also contain an IEEE 1284-compliant printer cable. Look at the drawings 
labeled “Contents” on the top flap of the box. If a printer cable is not pictured there, you will 
need to obtain a cable before installing the printer.

If any items are missing or damaged, notify your dealer immediately.

3

Carefully remove any shipping tapes from the printer.

4

Place the printer on a flat, stable surface near your workstation. Leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) 
behind and on each side of the printer, and at least 1 foot (30 cm) in front of the printer, so that 
you can operate it properly and allow adequate air circulation.

Do not place the printer:

• In direct sunlight.
• Near heat sources or air conditioners. Place the printer where the temperature is stable and 

set for comfort.

• In dusty or dirty environments. Dust accumulation may prevent the printer from functioning 

properly.

• Near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields (such as loudspeakers or base 

units of cordless telephones).

Refer to 

“Language Codes” 

(page 1-23) for language codes.
