Operational Safety
Your printer and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. These include
safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established environmental standards.
Your attention to the following safety guidelines helps to ensure the continued, safe operation of
your printer.
Ozone Release
This printer produces ozone during normal operation. The amount of ozone produced is dependent on
print volume. Ozone is heavier than air and is not produced in amounts large enough to harm anyone.
Install the printer in a well-ventilated room.
For more information in the United States and Canada, go to www.xerox.com/environment. In other
markets, please contact your local Xerox representative or go to www.xerox.com/environment_europe.
Printer Location
Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold the weight of
the printer. To find the weight for your printer configuration, see Physical Specifications on page 162.
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 extremely hot, cold, or humid environment.
Do not place the printer near a heat source.
Do not place the printer in direct sunlight to avoid exposure to light-sensitive components.
Do not place the printer where it is directly exposed 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 elevations recommended in Elevation on page 165.
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.
Safety

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 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.
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 consumable supplies in accordance with the instructions given on the package or container.
Keep all consumable supplies away from the reach of children.
Never throw consumable supplies into an open flame.
When handling cartridges, for example toner cartridges, avoid skin or eye contact. Eye contact can
cause irritation and inflammation. Do not attempt to disassemble the cartridge, which can increase
the risk of skin or eye contact.
CAUTION: Use of non-Xerox® supplies is not recommended. The Xerox® Warranty, Service
Agreement, and Total Satisfaction Guarantee do not cover damage, malfunction, or degradation of
performance caused by use of non-Xerox® supplies, or the use of Xerox® supplies not specified for this
printer. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage
could vary outside these areas. Please contact your Xerox representative for details.

User Guide
Installation and Setup Overview
Before printing, your computer and the printer must be plugged in, turned on, and connected. Configure
the initial settings of the printer, then install the driver software and utilities on your computer.
You can connect to your printer over a network using an Ethernet cable, or directly to your computer using
a USB cable. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers,
network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet, and USB cables are not included with your printer
and must be purchased separately. Xerox recommends an Ethernet connection because it is typically
faster than a USB connection, and it provides access to CentreWare Internet Services.
For details on connection and network setup, print the Connection Setup page:
1. At the control panel, touch Printer.
2. On the Information tab, touch Print Reference Materials.
3. Touch Connection Setup.
4. Touch Print.
For details on configuring the printer settings, see the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/7800docs.
Physically Connecting the Printer to the Network
Use a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network. An Ethernet network is
used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An Ethernet
connection provides direct access to printer settings using CentreWare Internet Services.
To connect the printer:
1. Connect the power cord to the printer, and plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Connect one end of a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the printer.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a correctly configured network port on a hub
or router.
3. Turn on the printer.

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.

Your printer is designed to use various paper and other media types. Follow the guidelines in this section
to ensure the best print quality and to avoid jams.
For best results, use Xerox® paper and media recommended for your printer.
Recommended Media
A list of paper and media recommended for your printer is available at:
www.xerox.com/paper Recommended Media List (United States)
www.xerox.com/europaper Recommended Media List (Europe)
Ordering Paper
To order paper, transparencies, or other media, contact your local reseller or go to
www.xerox.com/office/7800supplies.
General Paper Loading Guidelines
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.
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.

If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package.
Paper and Media
Phaser 7800 Color Printer 37
User Guide
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
CAUTION: The Xerox® Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox® Total Satisfaction Guarantee does
not cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or specialty media. The Xerox® Total
Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside
these areas. Please contact your local 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.
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
You can print envelopes from Tray 1.
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 the excess moisture and dryness which can affect
print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or
during printing.
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.
Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book on
top of them.
In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
Use only paper envelopes.
Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.

Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once.
Do not use dry gum labels.
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 extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold conditions. 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.
In the print driver software, select Label as the paper type.
Remove all other paper from the tray before loading labels.
CAUTION: Do not use any sheet where labels are missing, curled, or pulled away from the backing
sheet. It could damage the printer.

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.

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.
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 Covers
A cover is the first or last page of a document. You can select paper sources for the covers 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 covers.
Select an option for printing covers:
No Covers cancels any previous Covers settings.
Front Only prints the first page on paper from the specified tray. With automatic 2-sided printing,
the first two pages print on the cover.
Back Only prints the back page on paper from the specified tray. With automatic 2-sided printing,
the last two pages print on the cover when the page count is even.
Front and Back: Same prints the front and back covers from the same tray.
Front and Back: Different prints the front and back covers from different trays.
Printing Inserts
You can add blank or pre-printed inserts 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 inserts.
Modify these settings when printing inserts:
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 inserts.

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

simply restarting the printer.
Printer Does Not Turn On
Probable Causes
Solutions
One of the power switches is not turned on.
Turn off both of the power switches. The Main Power switch is
behind the front door and the Secondary Power switch is on the top
of the printer. Wait two minutes, then turn on both of the switches.
For details, see Turning the Printer On and Off on page 28.
The power cord is not correctly plugged into
the outlet.
Turn off the printer power switch, and plug the power cord securely
into the outlet. For details, see Turning the Printer On and Off on
page 28.
Something is wrong with the outlet connected
to the printer.
Plug another electrical appliance into the outlet and see if it
operates properly.
Try a different outlet.
The printer is connected to an outlet with a
voltage or frequency that does not match the
printer specifications.
Use a power source with the specifications listed in the Electrical
Specifications on page 166.
CAUTION: Plug the three-wire cord with grounding prong directly into a grounded AC outlet.

Printer Resets or Turns Off Frequently
Probable Causes
Solutions
The power cord is not correctly plugged into
the outlet.
Turn off the printer, confirm that the power cord is correctly plugged
into the printer and the outlet, then turn on the printer. For details,
see Turning the Printer On and Off on page 28.
The printer is plugged into an Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS), extension cord, or
power strip.
Only use an extension cord designed to handle the electrical current
capacity of the printer.
A network configuration problem exists.
Unplug the network cable. If the problem is resolved, contact your
network administrator to reconfigure your network installation.
A system error occurred.
Contact your Xerox representative with the error code and message.
Check the control panel fault history. For details, see Viewing Error
Messages on the Control Panel on page 152.
Printing Takes Too Long
Probable Causes
Solutions
The printer is set to a slower printing mode,
for example, for printing on heavyweight
paper or transparencies.
It takes more time to print on certain types of special media. Make
sure that the paper type is set properly in the driver and at the
printer control panel.
The printer is in Energy Saver mode.
Wait. It takes time for printing to start when the printer is coming
out of Energy Saver mode.
The way the printer was installed on the
network could be an issue.
Determine if a print spooler or a computer sharing the printer is
buffering all print jobs and then spooling them to the printer.
Spooling can slow print speeds. To test the speed of the printer, print
some Information pages such as the Office Demo Page. If the page
does not print at the rated speed of the printer, you could have a
network or printer installation issue.
The job is complex.
Wait. No action needed.
Document Prints From Wrong Tray
Probable Causes
Solutions
Application and print driver have conflicting
tray selections.
1. Check the tray selected in the print driver.
2. Go to the page setup or printer settings of the application from
which you are printing.
3. Set the paper source to match the tray selected in the print driver
or set the paper source to Automatically Select.
Note: To have the print driver select the tray, set the tray used as
the paper source to Auto Selection Enabled.

Automatic 2-Sided Printing Problems
Probable Causes
Solutions
Unsupported or incorrect paper.
Ensure that you are using the correct paper. For details, see Supported Paper
SIzes and Weights for Automatic 2-Sided Printing on page 40. Envelopes,
labels, transparencies, and paper heavier than 220 g/m² cannot be used for
2-sided printing.
Incorrect setting.
In the print driver Properties, select 2-Sided Print on the Paper/Output tab.
Check the settings at the printer control panel: Touch Printer > Tools >
Setup > Output Settings > 2-Sided Printing.
Date and Time Are Incorrect
The date and time are set automatically when the printer is connected to a network that has a Network
Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP is used to synchronize the internal clocks of computers over a network
connection at system startup and every subsequent 24-hour period thereafter. This feature ensures that
the internal clock of the printer stays synchronized with the NTP server you specify.
Probable Causes
Solutions

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.
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.
Most jams can be prevented by following a simple set of rules:
Use only supported paper. For details, see Supported Paper on page 36.
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.
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 specially designed for inkjet printers.
Paper that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
Loading more than one type, size, or weight of paper in a tray at the same time.
Overfilling the trays.
Allowing the output tray to overfill.
For a detailed list of supported paper, go to www.xerox.com/paper.

CAUTION: The Xerox® Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox® Total Satisfaction Guarantee does
not cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or specialty media. The Xerox® Total
Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside
these areas. Please contact your local representative for details.
Notes:
To ensure consistent print quality, the toner cartridges and imaging units for many models of
equipment are designed to cease functioning at a predetermined point.
Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting increment the color pages counter,
because color consumables are used. Composite black is the default setting on most printers.
Controlling Print Quality
Various factors can affect the quality of the output of your printer. For consistent and optimum print
quality, use paper designed for your printer, and correctly set the Print-Quality Mode and Color
Adjustments. Follow the guidelines in this section to maintain optimum print quality from your printer.
Temperature and humidity affect the quality of the printed output. The guaranteed range for optimal

Print-Quality Problems with Glossy Paper
If roller marks are visible on glossy paper, you can reduce roller marks by using a different glossy paper or
by lowering the fuser temperature. If you want to increase the amount of gloss on the print, use a
different glossy paper or increase the fuser temperature. However, increasing the fuser temperature can
also increase the visibility of roller marks.
You can adjust the default fuser temperature setting for each glossy paper type setting.
Adjusting the Fuser Temperature
1. Determine the current temperature setting:
a. To see the current temperature setting for each paper type, print the Printer Status page. At the
control panel, touch Printer.
b. Touch Tools > Service Tools > Setup.
c. Touch the Print icon and select Printer Status.
2. To adjust the fuser temperature, download a PostScript file to the printer:
a. Download the appropriate fuser adjustment PostScript snippet file from
www.xerox.com/office/7800drivers. There are several temperature adjustment files for each
paper type.
b. To send the file to your printer, use CentreWare Internet Services. At your computer, open a
Web browser, type the IP address of the printer in the address field, then press Enter or Return.
Note: If you do not know the IP address for your printer, see Finding the IP Address of Your Printer on
page 24.
c. In CentreWare Internet Services, click the Print tab.
d. Click Browse or Choose File, navigate to the temperature adjustment file, then click Open
